July 2026 COE Results 2nd Bidding: Singapore lost the World Cup of sensible vehicle prices, but with a minor pullback in quota premiums for Categories A, B and C – Motorist Singapore

Singapore’s Certificate of Entitlement (COE) premiums for Categories A, B, and C saw a minor pullback following the second bidding exercise of July 2026, according to reports from The Straits Times, The Business Times, and CNA. The Category A premium eased to S$126,000, correcting from a record high reached in the previous tender.

The downward movement in premiums indicates a slight cooling of the vehicle quota market after a period of peak pricing. While the Category A price fell to S$126,000, Category B also experienced a slight dip, according to data cited by CNA and The Straits Times.

Category A and B COE Price Adjustments

The premium dropped to S$126,000, a figure that The Business Times and The Straits Times note is a correction from the record levels established in the preceding bidding round.

Category C, covering large vehicles and commercial vehicles, similarly experienced a minor pullback in its quota premium, according to Motorist Singapore.

Market Supply and Future Outlook

The current correction in prices may signal a shift in market dynamics. The Business Times reports that as COE premiums correct from their recent highs, there is a possibility that more supply could enter the market.

This minor pullback across all three categories suggests a broader, albeit slight, easing of demand or a realignment of bidder expectations.
