The Subaru WRX is a performance sedan with a 2.4-litre engine on our quote form. This page is for anyone pricing one up, new or used. It covers road tax, the COE rule and what car insurance looks like.
The insurance figures are examples for one stated driver, as of 1 November 2026. Use them to see the spread. Your own price depends on your own details.
What the lists show
The new-car list has no entry for the WRX on sale now. That means there is no list price, power figure or body type to give here.
The price page prices the WRX 2.4 CVT Eyesight with a 2,387cc engine. That is the version most of our insurers quote.
COE: Category B
Engine size settles this one. With 2,387cc, above 1,600cc, the WRX 2.4 needs a Category B COE. That closed at S$131,901 in the October 2026 2nd round.
COE prices change every round. The COE page has the most recent results.
If you buy a used WRX, the COE is already paid. What matters then is how many years it has left. When it runs out, you choose between renewing it and deregistering the car. That choice brings the COE price back into your sums.
Road tax at 2,387cc
A bigger engine means higher road tax. LTA's formula gives S$1,666.06 a year for this engine, before any surcharge for age.
If you are looking at an older car, the surcharge steps in after 10 years:
- Over 10 years: +10%
- Over 11 years: +20%
- Over 12 years: +30%
- Over 13 years: +40%
- Over 14 years: +50%
On this engine, each step adds a noticeable sum. Check the first registration date of any car you look at, so you know which step applies now and when the next one starts. Use the road tax page to work out other engine sizes.
Insuring the WRX
The Subaru WRX price page uses these details:
- Car: WRX 2.4 CVT Eyesight, 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
5 insurers price it online, with six plans between them. The lowest premium is S$1,323.71 a year. The insurer whose lowest plan costs most asks at least S$2,308.05. That is S$984.34 more, or 74% on top. All prices include 9% GST.
Twelve insurers on our panel have no online price for the WRX. So you are comparing a smaller field than for many mainstream cars.
Excess differs a lot
The excess is your share of a claim. Here it ranges widely:
- S$500: on three plans, including the lowest premium
- S$600: on one plan
- S$2,500: on one plan
- S$3,000: on the second-lowest premium, S$1,557.44
So the second plan by price asks you to pay far more if you claim. Read the premium and the excess side by side. A plan that costs a little more each year may cost much less on the day you claim.
How the price shifts
The price page shows the lowest price when one detail changes:
- No NCD (0%): S$2,941.57, which is S$1,617.86 more
- 20% NCD: S$2,353.26, S$1,029.55 more
- A driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$2,284.24, S$960.53 more, with 6 insurers pricing
- A driver aged 65, 20 years' driving: S$1,460.19, S$136.48 more
- A new car, registered this year: S$1,340.05, S$16.34 more
- A car 8 years old: S$1,332.14, S$8.43 more
NCD matters most. With none, the lowest price rises by 122%. A younger driver also pays a lot more. Car age barely moves the lowest price. A new car and an 8-year-old car both land within a few dollars of the standard case.
These are lowest prices only. The dearer plans may change by other amounts, so compare the whole list for your own details.
The WRX beside similar cars
The price page compares six cars with engines of a similar size, for the same driver and car age:
- Toyota Camry: S$872.39, 15 insurers
- Toyota Alphard: S$832.53, 15 insurers
- Toyota Vellfire: S$763.00, 16 insurers
- Honda Odyssey: S$763.00, 16 insurers
- Mitsubishi Outlander: S$783.81, 16 insurers
- Alfa Romeo 159: S$1,028.09, 12 insurers
Their average lowest price is S$840.47. The WRX costs 57% more than that, and all 6 are cheaper to insure. The rivals also have far more insurers pricing them. If insurance cost matters to you, this gap is the main thing the page shows.

Costs you will need to work out
Some costs have no single figure, because they depend on you:
- Parking: season parking at home and work, and parking when you are out.
- Petrol: set by your mileage and pump prices.
- ERP: depends on where and when you drive.
- Servicing: follow the maker's schedule. Tyres and brakes wear with use.
- Depreciation: depends on the price you pay and the value later on.
