The Nissan Murano in Singapore, yearly road tax and insurance costs

Nissan Murano 2.5 costs in Singapore: road tax of S$1,784.52, a Category B COE and car insurance examples from 11 insurers, as of 1 November 2026.

The Nissan Murano is an older SUV that has dropped off the new-car list. If you own one or are weighing up a used one, your yearly bills are road tax and insurance. The COE on the car also sets how long you can keep it. This guide covers those costs.

All insurance figures are examples for one stated driver, as of 1 November 2026. Your price depends on your own details.

Not on the new-car list

The new-car list has no entry for the Murano on sale now. That means no list price, power or body type here. The price page still covers insurance, the COE category and the engine size that sets road tax.

The insurance prices are for the Murano 2.5 without sunroof, the version most insurers quote. It has a 2,488cc engine.

COE category

The price page states that with a 2,488cc engine, above 1,600cc, the Murano 2.5 needs a Category B COE. Category B closed at S$131,901 in the October 2026 2nd round.

On a used car, the years left on its COE often count for more than the latest premium. Ask for the expiry date before you agree a price. The COE page lists the most recent rounds.

Road tax for 2,488cc

LTA's formula, checked 2026-10-19, puts road tax on a 2,488cc engine at S$1,784.52 a year. That is the base figure.

Older cars pay more. The surcharge bands are:

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

Most Muranos on the road are likely to fall in one of these bands, so the yearly bill may be well above the base. The road tax page does the sums for other engines.

Insurance on the price page

The Nissan SUV Murano price page prices one case:

  • Car: Murano 2.5 without sunroof, 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

The 3-year car age is the page's fixed setting, not the real age of most Muranos. It gives a common point for comparing insurers.

11 insurers price it. The lowest premium is S$882.31 a year. The insurer whose lowest plan costs most asks at least S$1,448.56. That is S$566.25, or 64%, more. The dearest plans on the page reach S$1,810.39. All prices include 9% GST.

Excess across plans

The excess, your share of a claim, is S$600 on most plans. The full range runs from S$0 to S$3,000. Compare the excess beside each premium, since a lower price can carry a higher share.

Insurers with no figure

The page names 8 insurers without an online price. Seven have no price for this model yet, and one does not list it on its online quote.

What shifts the price

Each line changes one detail and shows the new lowest price:

  • No NCD (0%): S$1,724.85, which is S$842.54 more
  • 20% NCD: S$1,380.72, which is S$498.41 more
  • Driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$1,804.46, which is S$922.15 more
  • Driver aged 65, 20 years' driving: S$964.19, which is S$81.88 more
  • New car, registered this year: S$908.86, which is S$26.55 more
  • Car 8 years old: S$839.82, which is S$42.49 less

A young driver sees the sharpest rise, at 105%. Dropping to no NCD is close behind. For an owner of an older Murano, the 8-year line is the closest guide on this page, and it is the one change that lowers the price.

The older-driver line has 10 insurers pricing, one fewer than the standard case.

Keep in mind that each figure is the lowest price only. Plans higher up the list may rise or fall by different sums. If you hold a high NCD, ask whether an NCD protector is offered, since losing the discount is one of the biggest jumps on this page.

Similar cars on the price page

The page compares the Murano with six cars of a similar engine size, same driver and car age:

Their average lowest price is S$840.47. The Murano is 5% above that, and 5 of the six cost less to insure. The gaps are small, though, and most of these cars are priced by 15 or 16 insurers. More Nissan models are on the Nissan car insurance page.

Costs set by your own use

  • Petrol: depends on distance driven and pump prices.
  • Parking: season parking where you live and work, plus parking elsewhere.
  • ERP: depends on your routes and the hour.
  • Tyres and batteries: a heavier car's tyres and a 12-volt battery wear out over time, so budget for replacements.
  • Repairs and parts: an older SUV may need more parts over time. Ask a workshop what it can source.
  • Depreciation: on a used car, it follows the price you pay and the COE years left.

Summary of yearly costs we can show

For the Nissan Murano 2.5 without sunroof:

  • Road tax: S$1,784.52 a year before any age surcharge (checked 2026-10-19)
