SsangYong Rexton road tax, COE and car insurance in Singapore

The SsangYong Rexton's yearly costs in Singapore: road tax, the COE category and car insurance prices from 12 insurers, dated 1 November 2026.

The SsangYong Rexton is a large SUV that is not on sale new in Singapore today. If you own one or are considering a used one, you still face road tax, insurance and, at some point, a COE decision. This page sets those out.

The insurance prices are examples for a single stated driver, as of 1 November 2026. They are useful for comparing insurers. They are not a quote for your car.

Two versions on the quote form

The new-car list has no entry for the Rexton. There is no list price, power figure or body type to give.

Our quote form lists:

  • Rexton 2.0, 1,998cc
  • Rexton 270, 2,696cc

The SsangYong Rexton price page prices the Rexton 2.0. That is the version most of our insurers quote.

Road tax for each engine

For the 1,998cc Rexton 2.0, LTA's formula gives S$1,209.76 a year before any surcharge. The Rexton 270's bigger engine pays more. The road tax page works out that figure.

A surcharge applies once the car passes ten years:

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

Check the registration date on your car's log card to see which step applies.

COE

The price page places the Rexton 2.0's 1,998cc engine above 1,600cc. That means Category B, which closed at S$131,901 in the October 2026 2nd round.

The figure is relevant if you renew the COE or replace the car. Each round's result is on the COE page.

A long list of insurers

The price page prices this profile:

  • Car: Rexton 2.0, registered 3 years ago, private use, comprehensive cover
  • Driver: aged 40, married, office job, driving 10 years
  • Record: 50% NCD, no claims
  • Workshop: authorised, no options

12 insurers price it online. That is a wide choice for a model no longer sold new. The lowest premium is S$928.76 a year. The insurer whose lowest plan costs most asks at least S$1,744.90. That is S$816.14 more, or 88% on top. The top plan on the page reaches S$1,939.47. All prices include 9% GST.

Two insurers on our panel have no online price. One does not list the model, and one prices a single standard driver only.

Excess

The lowest premium carries a S$600 excess. The next, at S$943.79, carries S$2,500. The third, at S$978.66, carries S$1,200. Further up, several plans carry S$300 or S$500, and one estimate carries S$0. The dearest insurer's plan has S$3,000. So the lowest premium here also comes with a modest excess, which is not always the case.

How the lowest price reacts

These are the lowest prices when one detail changes:

  • No NCD (0%): S$1,774.06, S$845.30 more
  • 20% NCD: S$1,427.40, S$498.64 more
  • Driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$1,899.42, S$970.66 more
  • Driver aged 65, 20 years' driving: S$1,014.93, S$86.17 more, 11 insurers
  • Car registered this year: S$916.54, S$12.22 less
  • Car 8 years old: S$884.02, S$44.74 less

The young driver raises the lowest price by 105%. Losing NCD comes close. Car age has only a small effect.

The insurer at the bottom of the list is not the same in every case. With no NCD or 20% NCD, a different insurer has the lowest price. That is a sign the order can change with your own details.

Why so many prices help

A dozen insurers means a long list to sort. Plans differ in excess, in workshop terms and in extras. Some keep the premium down with a large excess. Others charge more and ask less at claim time. The price page names each plan, so you can look up what it includes. Sorting first by the excess you can live with, then by price, shortens the list quickly.

Six similar cars

The price page sets the Rexton beside these, same driver and car age:

Their average lowest price is S$844.64. The Rexton costs 10% more. Five of the six are cheaper to insure; only the Lexus NX costs more. Other SsangYong entries are on the SsangYong car insurance page.

Before you renew

If your Rexton is already insured, your renewal notice gives one price from one insurer. The price page shows how that sits against the rest of the field. Check that the renewal names the right version, since the 2.0 and the 270 are separate entries. Check that your NCD is carried over in full. And check the excess, because a renewal can come with different terms from last year. Small differences in these details can move the price more than switching insurer.

Costs we leave to you

These depend on how and where you drive.

  • Parking: season parking at home and charges elsewhere. A large SUV may not fit every lot.
  • Fuel: depends on your mileage and pump prices.
  • ERP: set by routes and timing.
  • Servicing and parts: ask about parts supply for this make before you commit.
  • Depreciation: on a used car, set by the price and the COE time left.
