The Alpine A110 is a sports car made in France. Few insurers price it online, and that shapes what it costs to keep. This guide sets out the figures the facts hold: list price, the COE, road tax and car insurance.
The insurance figures are examples for one stated driver, as of 1 November 2026. With two insurers pricing it, they are a small sample.
The A110 range
The new-car list read on 2026-10-10 shows one version: the A110 1.8 S, a petrol sports car with a 1,798cc engine and 296bhp.
The quote form carries seven versions, all with the same 1,798cc engine:
- 1.8
- 1.8 GT
- 1.8 Legende
- 1.8 Plus
- 1.8 Pure
- 1.8 R
- 1.8 S
The insurance prices below are for the plain A110 1.8, the version most insurers quote.
List price
As listed on 2026-10-10, the A110 1.8 S was S$373,800, with COE included as listed that day. The facts give no list price for the other versions. Ask for a current figure, as list prices change after COE rounds.
COE
With its 1,798cc engine, above 1,600cc, the A110 1.8 needs a Category B COE. Category B closed at S$131,901 in the October 2026 2nd round. The COE page shows later results.
Road tax
All versions share the 1,798cc engine. LTA's formula, checked 2026-10-19, gives S$975.16 a year, before any surcharge.
Once a car is over 10 years old, a surcharge is added. It starts at +10% over 10 years and reaches +50% over 14 years. The road tax page has the steps.
Car insurance with a short list
The Alpine A110 price page prices:
- Car: A110 1.8, registered 3 years ago, private use, comprehensive cover
- Driver: aged 40, married, office job, driving 10 years
- Record: 50% no-claim discount (NCD), no claims
- Repairs: authorised workshop, no options
Only 2 insurers price it. The lower price is S$1,447.88 a year. The other is S$1,543.01. The gap is S$95.13, or 7% more. Both include 9% GST.
High excesses on both
The lower-priced plan carries a S$2,500 excess. The other carries S$3,000. Either way, a claim would cost you a large sum before cover starts. That makes the excess worth as much thought as the premium.
A long list of gaps
Seventeen insurers on the page have no online price for the A110. Almost all have no price for this model yet. One does not list the model on its online quote. If you want more choice, ask insurers for a quote directly.
How the price responds
The price page changes one detail at a time:
- No NCD (0%): S$2,721.59, up S$1,273.71
- 20% NCD: S$2,195.79, up S$747.91
- Driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$2,263.09, up S$815.21
- Driver aged 65, 20 years' driving: S$1,543.01, up S$95.13
- New car, registered this year: S$1,458.27, up S$10.39
- Car 8 years old: S$1,265.34, down S$182.54
Losing all your NCD is the largest change, at 88% more. The young driver line is less steep than that. For the young and older drivers, the lowest price moves to the second insurer. A new car costs almost the same as a 3-year-old one, and an older car costs less.
What this means for you
With two insurers, your NCD does most of the work. A claim that cuts your NCD would show up quickly in the price. The high excess on both plans adds to the cost of any claim.
An older driver sees only a small rise, since the second insurer's price stays the same for that driver. An 8-year-old car is the one change that lowers the price. Each line tracks the lowest price only. With so few prices, a quote on your own details is the best way to see where you stand.
Against similar cars
The price page sets the A110 beside six cars with engines of about the same size, for the same driver and car age:
- Mercedes-Benz E-Class: S$857.06
- BMW 5 Series: S$792.38
- Toyota Harrier: S$763.00
- Hyundai Kona: S$763.00
- Hyundai Avante: S$763.00
- Toyota Corolla Altis: S$713.21
Their average lowest price is S$775.28. The A110 costs 87% more than that, and all 6 are cheaper to insure on these details. None of them is a sports car, and each is priced by at least 14 insurers. The Alpine car insurance page lists other models.
Costs that depend on use
- Parking: season parking at home, plus parking elsewhere. Check ramps and kerbs where you park often.
- Petrol: depends on how far you drive and pump prices.
- ERP: depends on your routes.
- Servicing and tyres: follow the maker's schedule. Ask what the warranty covers.
- Depreciation: depends on what you pay and what the car fetches later.
