The Renault Grand Espace 2.0T has a two-litre engine, and that sets two of its costs apart from smaller cars. It needs a Category B COE, and its road tax is well above that of a smaller engine. Its insurance, though, is lower than every similar car on its price page. This page goes through each cost.
The insurance figures were read on 20 October 2026 for one stated driver. They are examples only.
The version we priced
The new-car list we read has no Grand Espace on sale now, so there is no list price here. Our quote form prices the Grand Espace 2.0T, with a 1,998cc engine.
A Category B car
With a 1,998cc engine, above 1,600cc, the Grand Espace 2.0T needs a Category B COE. That category closed at S$130,100 in the October 2026 1st round.
COE premiums move at every bidding round. On a used Grand Espace the COE has been paid, and how long it has left is part of what you buy. When it ends, the owner must renew it or take the car off the road. The COE page has the latest results.
Road tax on a 2.0
LTA's formula gives the 1,998cc engine a road tax of S$1,209.76 a year, before any age surcharge. That is the largest yearly bill we can put a figure on for this car.
The age surcharge adds to it once the car is more than 10 years old:
- Over 10 years: +10%
- Over 11 years: +20%
- Over 12 years: +30%
- Over 13 years: +40%
- Over 14 years: +50%
The road tax page has the formula for other engine sizes.
Car insurance
The Renault Grand Espace price page prices this profile:
- Car: Grand Espace 2.0T, registered 3 years ago, private use, comprehensive cover
- Driver: aged 40, married, office job, driving 10 to 19 years
- Record: 50% no-claim discount (NCD), no claims
- Repairs: at an authorised workshop, no add-ons
The prices
12 insurers give an online price. Four on our panel do not: three have no online price for the model yet, and one does not list it.
The lowest premium is S$660.69 a year. The insurer whose lowest plan is dearest asks at least S$1,516.23, which is S$855.54 more, or 129% on top. All prices include 9% GST.
There is a big step between the lowest premium and the next few. So the price you see depends a lot on where you look.
The excess
Every plan here has an excess. Most carry S$600, some S$500 or S$800, and a few S$2,500 or S$3,000. The second-lowest premium carries S$2,500. Look at what you would pay on a claim, not just the premium.
Several prices are marked as estimates. Confirm those on the insurer's own site.
What moves the lowest price
The price page shows the lowest price when one detail changes:
- No NCD (0%): S$1,098.76, S$438.07 more
- 20% NCD: S$1,098.76, S$438.07 more
- Driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$1,098.76, S$438.07 more
- Driver aged 65, 20 or more years' driving: S$660.69, the same
- A new car, registered this year: S$666.79, S$6.10 more
- A car 8 years old: S$604.07, S$56.62 less
No NCD, 20% NCD and the younger driver all land on the same lowest price, 66% above the standard driver. The older driver pays the same as the standard profile. Car age moves the lowest price a little: S$6.10 more for a new car and S$56.62 less for an 8-year-old one. For the driver aged 65 and the new car, 11 insurers quote.
These are lowest prices only. Dearer plans may move by other amounts.
Things to check on a plan
- Workshop: these prices assume an authorised workshop. A plan that lets you use any workshop may cost a different amount.
- Named drivers: for a car used by a family, check who may drive and what adding a young driver costs.
- NCD protection: an add-on on some plans, not in these prices.
Against similar cars
For the same driver and car age, the price page sets six similar cars beside the Grand Espace:
- Lexus NX: S$972.39
- Lexus RX: S$972.39
- Mercedes-Benz E-Class: S$861.03
- BMW 5 Series: S$861.03
- Toyota Voxy: S$793.75
- Toyota Harrier: S$742.90
Their average lowest price is S$867.25. The Grand Espace, at S$660.69, is 24% below it, and none of the six is cheaper to insure. Other Renaults are on the Renault car insurance page.
Costs that depend on you
- Parking: season parking at your HDB block or condo, plus parking at work and when out.
- Petrol: depends on how far you drive and the pump price.
- ERP: depends on your routes and the times you travel.
- Servicing and repairs: follow the maker's schedule. On a used car, ask for the service history and check how easily parts can be sourced.
- Depreciation: depends on what you pay, the COE years left and what the car fetches when sold.
