The Citroen C8 is a rare large car on Singapore roads, with a 2,946cc engine. That engine drives a high road tax bill. Insurance options online are very limited. This guide sets out the figures for owners and anyone considering one.
Insurance prices here are examples for one stated driver, as of 1 November 2026. They show what that one profile pays. Your price will depend on your details.
The C8 on our quote form
The new-car list has no entry for the C8 on sale now. So this guide gives no list price, power figure or body type.
The price page prices the Citroen C8 3.0 Exclusive, with a 2,946cc engine. That is the version our insurers quote.
Category B COE
The engine is above 1,600cc, so the price page puts the C8 3.0 Exclusive in Category B. That category closed at S$131,901 in the October 2026 2nd round.
For a car this old, the remaining COE life is the figure to focus on. When it runs out, you will need to renew or deregister. The COE page lists recent rounds.
Road tax on 2,946cc
LTA's formula, checked 2026-10-19, gives S$2,321.76 a year before any age surcharge. That is more than double the C8's one online insurance price.
The surcharge for older cars:
- Over 10 years: +10%
- Over 11 years: +20%
- Over 12 years: +30%
- Over 13 years: +40%
- Over 14 years: +50%
A C8 on the road today is likely to fall into one of these bands. On a base this large, the surcharge can add a substantial sum each year. The road tax page works out other engines.
Insurance: one price online
The Citroen C8 price page prices this case:
- Car: C8 3.0 Exclusive, registered 3 years ago, private use, comprehensive
- Driver: aged 40, married, office job, driving 10 years
- Record: 50% NCD, no claims
- Repairs: authorised workshop, no options
Only 1 insurer gives an online price: S$1,082.26 a year, with 9% GST included. The excess is S$1,200.
There is no online spread to compare. Other insurers on our panel do not price the C8 online. Some might still quote on request, so the single figure is a starting point.
Reading the one plan
With only one plan, check its terms in full. Look at the S$1,200 excess, the workshop rules and what it pays for windscreen or flood damage. Ask also how the car would be valued if written off, since a rare older car can be hard to price.
The page fixes the car at 3 years old so models can be compared. A real C8 is much older. As the next section shows, car age shifts this price only a little.
How the price moves
The price page shows the lowest price after one change:
- No NCD (0%): S$2,489.18, up S$1,406.92
- 20% NCD: S$1,818.20, up S$735.94
- Driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$2,719.12, up S$1,636.86
- Driver aged 65, 20 years' driving: no online price
- Car registered this year: S$1,151.31, up S$69.05
- Car 8 years old: S$1,059.21, down S$23.05
The younger driver's price is 151% above the standard figure. With no NCD, it more than doubles. A driver of 65 gets no online price at all, so an older owner would need to contact insurers directly.
Driver and NCD matter far more than the car's age here. Anyone else who will drive the C8 regularly should be named, since their age and record can change the price.
Your NCD in dollar terms
On this page, a drop from 50% to 20% NCD adds S$735.94. A claim can trigger that kind of drop at renewal. So the true cost of a claim includes the higher premiums that follow, not only the excess.
Against similar cars
The price page lists six cars with similar engines, for the same driver:
- Alfa Romeo 166: S$2,897.48, from 2 insurers
- Audi A8: S$1,092.69
- Audi Q7: S$1,002.60
- Audi Q8: S$1,323.18
- Audi Roadjet Concept: S$1,524.39, from 1 insurer
- Audi S4 Saloon: S$1,209.34
Their average lowest price is S$1,508.28. The C8 is 28% below that. Only one of the six, the Audi Q7, costs less to insure. The Audi A8 is very close. The average is pulled up by the Alfa Romeo 166, which costs far more. The Citroen car insurance page covers the brand's other models.
Costs that depend on you
These have no single figure:
- Parking: season parking at home, plus elsewhere. A long car may suit some car park bays better than others.
- Petrol: a 2,946cc engine and your mileage set the bill.
- ERP: depends on your routes and timing.
- Servicing and parts: for a rare model with a large engine, ask about parts supply and how long repairs might take.
- Depreciation: shaped by what you pay and the COE years left.
Summary of yearly costs we can show
