The Suzuki e VITARA is a compact electric SUV. If it is on your list, this page lays out the costs you can price now: the list price, the COE rule, road tax and car insurance. It ends with the costs that depend on how you live.
Insurance prices are examples for one stated driver, as of 1 November 2026. They show how insurers compare for this car, not what you will pay.
The one version listed
The new-car list read on 2026-10-10 shows a single version. It is listed as an SUV, made in India.
- e VITARA Electric 49 kWh: 142bhp
The price page prices the same car, the e VITARA 49 kWh.
Price as listed
As listed on 2026-10-10, the e VITARA was S$179,888, including COE on that day. That figure moves with each COE round, so ask the dealer for an up-to-date price. When you compare offers, check that each includes the same items.
The COE category for an electric car
For an electric car, the line is drawn on motor power. The price page says a fully electric e VITARA needs a Category A COE if its motor is 110kW (147bhp) or less. If the motor is more powerful, it needs a Category B COE.
Category A closed at S$132,004 in the October 2026 2nd round, and Category B at S$131,901. The COE page has later rounds as they close.
Road tax by motor power
Road tax for electric cars follows the motor's output. For the 142bhp (106kW) motor, LTA's formula gives S$1,536.74 a year, before any age surcharge.
That is more than a small petrol car pays, so it is worth budgeting for. The surcharge for older cars is the same as for petrol cars:
- Over 10 years: +10%
- Over 11 years: +20%
- Over 12 years: +30%
- Over 13 years: +40%
- Over 14 years: +50%
The road tax page shows the formula in full.
Insurance today: three prices
The Suzuki e VITARA price page prices this driver and car:
- Car: e VITARA 49 kWh, 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
Only 3 insurers price it online. The lowest premium is S$876.84 a year. The other two each ask S$1,498.65, which is S$621.81 more, or 71% on top. All prices include 9% GST, and all three are marked as estimates.
Sixteen insurers on our panel have no online price for the e VITARA. Most have none for this model yet. Some do not quote electric cars online at all. For a newer model, that leaves a thin field.
All three share one excess
Each plan carries a S$600 excess. So the excess does not separate them. What does differ is the premium, and the cover each plan gives for an electric car. Read the terms on the battery and charging equipment if those matter to you.
Which details change the price
The price page shows the lowest price with one change:
- No NCD (0%): S$1,846.01, which is S$969.17 more
- 20% NCD: S$1,476.80, S$599.96 more
- A driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$1,789.28, S$912.44 more
- A driver aged 65, 20 years' driving: S$978.00, S$101.16 more
- A new car, registered this year: S$876.84, the same
- A car 8 years old: S$876.84, the same
Losing all NCD pushes the lowest price up by 111%. A young driver with a lower NCD comes close. Car age does not change the lowest price at all.
All 3 insurers price every case, but the lowest figure comes from the same estimate each time. Your quotes may sit differently.
Next to other electric cars
The price page compares six electric cars, for the same driver and car age:
- BYD Sealion 7: S$1,390.72, 7 insurers
- BYD Atto 3: S$913.63, 10 insurers
- BYD M6: S$861.41, 9 insurers
- BMW iX1: S$1,907.27, 2 insurers
- Tesla Model 3: S$913.62, 10 insurers
- Tesla Model Y: S$939.71, 10 insurers
The six average S$1,154.39. The e VITARA's lowest price is 24% below that. Only one of the six, the BYD M6, is cheaper to insure. Several rivals have ten insurers pricing them, so their figures rest on a wider field.
Other Suzuki models are on the Suzuki car insurance page.
Costs that vary by owner
These have no single figure:
- Charging: home charging if your car park has a charger, or public chargers at varying rates.
- Parking: season parking at home and work, and short-term parking.
- ERP: depends on routes and timing.
- Servicing and tyres: follow the maker's schedule for an electric car. Ask what the battery warranty covers and for how long.
- Depreciation: depends on what you pay and what the car is worth later.
