Looking at a BMW iX3 Electric? This guide is about money: what the car was listed at, what COE and road tax add, and how much car insurance runs. It does not judge the car itself.
The insurance figures are examples for one stated driver, as of 1 November 2026. They help you compare, but your own quote will differ.
The listed version
The new-car list on 2026-10-10 had one version, the iX3 Electric xDrive50 M Sport 108.7 kWh. Its motor is rated at 463bhp. The body type is SUV, made in Hungary.
Our quote form prices the iX3 Electric as a single entry, and that is the version most insurers quote. There is also a separate BMW iX3 price page, which draws on a different set of insurers. The two pages can show different figures.
The list price
The xDrive50 M Sport was S$395,888 as listed on 2026-10-10, with COE included. Dealers revise prices after COE rounds. Ask what each offer includes before you compare. A home charger, a servicing package or a longer battery warranty can change what you are really paying for. Get each figure in writing so you can set them side by side.
How COE applies
COE for an electric car turns on motor power. The price page states that an iX3 Electric needs a Category A COE if its motor is 110kW (147bhp) or less. A more powerful motor needs a Category B COE.
In the October 2026, 2nd round, Category A closed at S$132,004 and Category B at S$131,901. The COE page keeps the latest results.
Road tax on a 345kW motor
LTA sets electric car road tax by power. For a 463bhp (345kW) motor, the formula gives S$4,883.70 a year before any age surcharge.
Cars more than 10 years old pay a surcharge:
- Over 10 years: +10%
- Over 11 years: +20%
- Over 12 years: +30%
- Over 13 years: +40%
- Over 14 years: +50%

The insurance spread for this car
The BMW iX3 Electric price page prices these details:
- Car: iX3 Electric, registered 3 years ago, private use, comprehensive
- Driver: 40, married, office job, 10 years' driving
- Record: 50% NCD, no claims
- Repairs: authorised workshop, no options
7 insurers price it. That is a wider field than most electric BMWs get. The lowest premium is S$1,638.34 a year. The highest insurer's lowest plan is S$4,572.99, which is S$2,934.65 more, or 179% on top. Prices include 9% GST.
Most of the seven sit in a band between the lowest figure and S$2,156.04. One price stands well above the rest. Three prices are marked as estimates.
Twelve insurers have no online price for the iX3 Electric. Some do not quote electric cars online.
Excess, plan by plan
The excess runs from S$600 to S$2,500. Four plans carry S$600. The lowest premium carries S$1,200, and the second lowest S$900. The dearest plan has the S$2,500 excess. So the two lowest premiums ask more of you if you claim than the plans just above them. Put the premium and excess side by side before you choose.
What pushes the price up or down
The price page shows the lowest price after one change:
- No NCD (0%): S$3,768.17, S$2,129.83 more, with 4 insurers pricing
- 20% NCD: S$2,752.41, S$1,114.07 more
- Driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$4,116.27, S$2,477.93 more, with 4 insurers
- Driver aged 65, 20 years' driving: S$2,356.11, S$717.77 more, with 3 insurers
- New car, registered this year: S$1,742.88, S$104.54 more
- Car 8 years old: S$1,603.46, S$34.88 less, with 6 insurers
The young driver case costs most, at 151% above the standard figure. Fewer insurers price the younger, older and no-NCD drivers, so those choices are thinner. The older driver adds more here than on many pages, since only 3 insurers price that case.
An 8-year-old car trims the lowest price only slightly. These are lowest prices only, and other plans may move differently.

- BYD Sealion 7: S$1,390.72
