The Aion UT is an electric hatchback made in China, and it sits near the lower end of electric car prices on the list. If you are pricing a first electric car, this guide sets out what the facts show. That covers list price, the COE rule, road tax and insurance.
Insurance figures are examples for one stated driver, as of 1 November 2026. Read them as a way to compare, not as a quote.
Versions
The new-car list read on 2026-10-10 shows two versions, each with a 134bhp motor:
- Standard 44.12 kWh
- Premium 60 kWh
The quote form carries the same two. The insurance figures are for the Premium 60 kWh, the version most insurers quote.
List prices
As listed on 2026-10-10, each with COE as listed that day:
- Standard 44.12 kWh: S$177,988
- Premium 60 kWh: S$181,988
The two are close in price. The main difference is the battery size. List prices move with COE rounds, so ask for a current figure.
Which COE category
The price page says a fully electric Aion UT needs a Category A COE if its motor is 110kW (147bhp) or less. A more powerful motor would need 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 has later results.
Road tax
For the 134bhp (100kW) motor, LTA's formula gives S$1,501.56 a year, checked 2026-10-19. Both versions share the motor and the figure.
Once a car is over 10 years old, a surcharge applies:
- Over 10 years: +10%
- Over 11 years: +20%
- Over 12 years: +30%
- Over 13 years: +40%
- Over 14 years: +50%
The road tax page has the formula.
What insurance costs on the price page
The Aion UT price page prices:
- Car: Premium 60 kWh, 3 years old, private use, comprehensive cover
- Driver: aged 40, married, office job, driving 10 years
- Record: 50% NCD, no claims
- Repairs: authorised workshop, no options
3 insurers give a price. The lowest is S$747.72 a year. The insurer whose lowest plan costs most asks at least S$1,686.75. The gap is S$939.03, or 126% on top. All prices include 9% GST, and all are marked as estimates.
The lowest figure is for a plan named collision only. It may cover less than the comprehensive plans above it. Check before you treat the figures as like for like.
Excess
The two lower plans carry a S$1,000 excess. The two higher plans carry S$600.
Gaps in the field
The page lists 16 insurers with no online price for the UT. Most have no price for the model yet. One has no online price for electric cars, and one does not quote them online.
The price for other drivers and car ages
One change at a time:
- No NCD (0%): S$1,574.17, which is S$826.45 more
- 20% NCD: S$1,259.32, which is S$511.60 more
- Driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$1,639.28, which is S$891.56 more
- Driver aged 65, 20 years' driving: S$915.53, which is S$167.81 more
- New car, registered this year: S$1,686.75, which is S$939.03 more
- Car 8 years old: S$732.83, which is S$14.89 less
On this car, a brand-new UT is the dearest change, at 126% more. Only 2 insurers price a new car, and the lowest plan for the older car is not one of them. If you are buying new, the lowest price you can compare online is the higher one.
For a young driver, the lowest price rises to S$1,639.28. Losing your NCD costs a little less than that.
An older UT is the one case where the lowest price falls, and only by a few dollars. An older driver with 20 years' driving pays a little more than the standard driver. So on these figures, NCD, the driver's experience and whether the car is new all count for more than car age. Each line tracks the lowest price only, and other plans may move by other amounts.
Set beside other electric cars
The price page compares the UT with six electric cars, same driver and car age:
- BYD M6: S$861.41, 9 insurers
- Tesla Model 3: S$913.62, 10 insurers
- BYD Atto 3: S$913.63, 10 insurers
- Tesla Model Y: S$939.71, 10 insurers
- BYD Sealion 7: S$1,390.72, 7 insurers
- BMW iX1: S$1,907.27, 2 insurers
Their average lowest price is S$1,154.39. The UT costs 35% less than that, and none of them is cheaper to insure. Most rivals, though, are priced by many more insurers. The Aion car insurance page lists the brand's other models.
Costs the facts cannot show
- Charging: depends on where you charge and how far you drive.
- Parking: season parking at home and parking elsewhere.
- ERP: depends on your routes.
- Servicing: follow the maker's schedule and ask about the battery warranty.
- Depreciation: depends on what you pay and what the car fetches later.
