Aion Hyptec HT running costs, list price, road tax and insurance

Aion Hyptec HT costs in Singapore: list prices, a road tax of S$3,397.90, the COE rule and dated car insurance examples.

The Aion Hyptec HT is an electric SUV made in China. It is larger and more powerful than some of Aion's other models, and the costs reflect that. This guide covers what the facts show: list price, the COE rule, road tax and car insurance.

The insurance prices are examples for one stated driver, as of 1 November 2026. They help you compare. They are not your quote.

The two versions

The new-car list read on 2026-10-10 has two versions, both with an 83 kWh battery and a 335bhp motor:

  • Premium 83 kWh
  • Luxury 83 kWh

The quote form lists the same pair. Insurance below is for the Luxury, the version most insurers quote.

List price

As listed on 2026-10-10, with COE included as listed that day:

  • Premium 83 kWh: S$218,988
  • Luxury 83 kWh: S$248,988

The two share a battery and motor, so the gap is trim and equipment. Ask for a current price, since list prices change after COE rounds.

COE rule

The price page states that a fully electric Hyptec HT needs a Category A COE if its motor is 110kW (147bhp) or less. If the motor is more powerful, it needs Category B.

The October 2026 2nd round closed at S$132,004 for Category A and S$131,901 for Category B. The COE page shows newer results.

Road tax for a 335bhp motor

Road tax on an electric car rises with motor power. For the 335bhp (250kW) motor, LTA's formula gives S$3,397.90 a year, checked 2026-10-19, before any age surcharge.

That is a sizeable yearly sum, and both versions pay it. Once the car is over 10 years old, a surcharge is added. It runs from +10% over 10 years to +50% over 14 years. The road tax page explains the steps.

  • Record: 50% NCD, no claims

3 insurers give a price. The lowest is S$1,076.32 a year. The insurer whose lowest plan costs most asks at least S$2,014.07. That is S$937.75 more, or 87% on top. All prices include 9% GST, and every price on the page is marked as an estimate.

The lowest premium is for a plan named collision only. Check what it leaves out next to a full comprehensive plan.

Excess on each plan

The two lowest plans carry an excess of S$1,500. The two higher plans carry S$600. A bigger excess means more out of your pocket on each claim.

A small field

Sixteen insurers have no online price for this car on the page. Most have no price for the model yet. One has no online price for electric cars, and one does not quote electric cars online.

Changes to driver and car

The lowest price when one detail changes:

  • No NCD (0%): S$2,265.95, up S$1,189.63
  • 20% NCD: S$1,812.75, up S$736.43
  • Driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$2,374.15, up S$1,297.83
  • Driver aged 65, 20 years' driving: S$1,330.97, up S$254.65
  • New car, registered this year: S$2,014.07, up S$937.75
  • Car 8 years old: S$1,070.15, down S$6.17

A young driver pays most, at 121% more. The new car line also rises steeply, because only 2 insurers price a new car and the lowest plan is not among them. An older car barely moves the price.

An older driver with 20 years' driving pays S$254.65 more than the standard driver here. With no NCD at all, the standard driver pays more than twice the page's lowest price. Keep in mind that each line tracks the lowest price only. Plans further up the list may move by other amounts, so a quote on your own details is the real test.
