Understanding COE Category Differences
Singapore's COE system divides vehicles into five categories. Categories A and B split passenger cars by engine size — the 1,600cc / 97kW threshold determines which pool you bid in, and prices between the two can differ by tens of thousands of dollars. Category C covers goods vehicles and buses, Category D is for motorcycles, and Category E is an open category usable for any vehicle type.
Comparing categories side by side reveals important patterns. When the spread between Cat A and Cat B widens, it often signals strong demand for larger or luxury vehicles. When it narrows, the market is softening uniformly. The bid advisor analyses these signals automatically.
If you are deciding which category affects your purchase, check your vehicle's engine capacity and power output against the thresholds. For a full explanation of categories and how bidding works, see our complete guide to COE.
