The Maserati Levante 3.0 S and what it costs to run in Singapore

Road tax on the 2,979cc Maserati Levante, its Category B COE and dated insurance prices, plus how it compares with similar 3-litre cars.

The Maserati Levante was the brand's large SUV, and it is no longer on the new-car list. If you own one, or are weighing a used one, the yearly costs are what matter. This guide covers the COE, road tax and car insurance for the 3.0 S.

The insurance figures are examples for one stated driver, as of 1 November 2026. They are a reference point, not your quote.

Which Levante the figures cover

The new-car list has no entry for the Levante on sale now. So there is no list price, power figure or body type in this guide.

The price page's quote form prices the Levante 3.0 S, with a 2,979cc engine. It is the version most insurers quote. If your car is a different version, the price could differ, so give the exact model when you ask.

Category B COE

The price page states that the Levante 3.0 S needs a Category B COE, as its 2,979cc engine is above 1,600cc. Category B closed at S$131,901 in the October 2026 2nd round.

On a used Levante, the COE cost is built into the asking price. How many years of COE are left is worth checking, since it shapes the value. When it ends, you either renew at the going rate or deregister. The COE page has the latest results.

Road tax on the 3-litre engine

LTA's formula gives S$2,360.46 a year for the 2,979cc engine. That is before any surcharge for age.

Many Levantes on the road will reach 10 years in time. From then, the surcharge grows each year:

  • Beyond 10 years: +10%
  • Beyond 11 years: +20%
  • Beyond 12 years: +30%
  • Beyond 13 years: +40%
  • Beyond 14 years: +50%

The road tax page has the formula for other engines.

Car insurance for the standard driver

The Maserati Levante price page uses one fixed profile:

  • The car: Levante 3.0 S, registered 3 years ago, private use, comprehensive cover
  • The driver: aged 40, married, office job, 10 years' driving
  • The record: 50% no-claim discount (NCD), no claims
  • Repairs: authorised workshop, no options

Only 1 insurer prices the Levante online. It offers three plans:

  • Entry: S$2,334.58 a year
  • Standard: S$2,444.13
  • Top: S$3,348.48

All include 9% GST. All three carry a S$300 excess, which is the amount you pay towards a claim. So the gap between the plans reflects what each one covers.

Why the field is thin

Most insurers on the panel have no online price for the Levante yet. One does not list it on its online quote at all. That means you cannot see a spread of offers online. Insurers who do not quote online may still quote on request, and a broker can ask them.

What moves the price

The price page reprices the car when one thing changes. Each line is the lowest price:

  • No NCD (0%): S$3,262.36, S$927.78 more
  • 20% NCD: S$2,814.33, S$479.75 more
  • Driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$5,083.28, S$2,748.70 more
  • Driver aged 65, 20 years' driving, 50% NCD: S$2,398.36, S$63.78 more
  • New car, registered this year: S$2,509.89, S$175.31 more
  • Car 8 years old: S$1,735.87, S$598.71 less

The young driver is the costly case, at 118% above the standard price. Your NCD also counts for a lot. Losing it adds S$927.78 to the lowest price, and even a 20% NCD adds S$479.75. An older car brings the price down, which suits a used buyer.

All of these come from one insurer. Other insurers could weigh the same changes differently. So use them to see the direction of each change, not its exact size.

Against similar cars

For the same driver and car age, the price page compares six cars with engines near 3 litres:

Their average lowest price is S$1,508.28. The Levante costs 55% more than that. Five of the six are cheaper to insure. Only the Alfa Romeo 166 costs more. The Audi Q7, a large SUV too, is priced by 14 insurers, against one for the Levante.

The Maserati car insurance page covers the brand's other models. The cheapest cars to insure list shows what sits at the low end.

Costs that depend on you

  • Parking: season parking at home, plus parking at work and in town. A large SUV can be a tight fit in older car parks.
  • Petrol: a 3-litre engine's fuel bill tracks your mileage and pump prices.
  • ERP: set by your routes and times.
  • Servicing and repairs: on an older luxury SUV, ask for the service history and check what is due next.
  • Depreciation: on a used car, it turns on what you pay and how much COE life remains.

Summary of yearly costs we can show

For the Maserati Levante 3.0 S:

  • Road tax: S$2,360.46 a year before any age surcharge (LTA's formula, checked 19 October 2026)
  • Insurance, standard driver: from S$2,334.58 a year, S$300 excess (1 November 2026)
  • Insurance, no NCD: from S$3,262.36
  • Insurance, a car 8 years old: from S$1,735.87

For reference, Category B closed at S$131,901 in the October 2026 2nd round.
