Owning a Suzuki Hustler in Singapore, from road tax to insurance

The Suzuki Hustler 660 in Singapore: low road tax on 658cc, the COE rule and car insurance from nine insurers, with prices dated 1 November 2026.

The Suzuki Hustler 660 is a small, boxy car with a 658cc engine. It does not appear on the new-car list, so in Singapore it is a used-car buy. If you own one or are thinking of it, this page breaks down the yearly costs.

Insurance prices are examples for one stated driver, as of 1 November 2026. Read them as a comparison between insurers, not a quote.

The car we price

The new-car list has no entry for the Hustler. That rules out a list price, power figure or body type from that source.

On our quote form, the price page prices the Suzuki Hustler 660, 658cc. That is the version most of our insurers quote.

Insurance first, as it is the biggest yearly bill

For a car this small, insurance is likely to cost more each year than road tax. The Suzuki Hustler price page prices this case:

  • Car: Hustler 660, 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

9 insurers price it online, with 14 plans in all. The lowest premium is S$657.42 a year. The insurer whose lowest plan costs most asks at least S$892.45. That is S$235.03 more, or 36% on top. The dearest single plan is S$1,113.00. Prices include 9% GST.

Ten insurers on our panel have no online price for the Hustler. One holds a price for a single reference driver only, so it gives none for this case.

Excess: from S$500 to S$5,000

The plans differ more in excess than in premium:

  • Lowest premium, S$657.42: S$500 excess
  • S$725.02: S$1,200
  • S$726.49: S$2,500
  • S$763.00: S$5,000
  • Most others: S$600

Two plans near the bottom of the list sit only a dollar or two apart. Yet one asks you to pay more than twice as much towards a claim. The excess is part of the price you pay if things go wrong.

How the price reacts to change

The price page shows the lowest price with one thing different:

  • No NCD (0%): S$1,326.57, which is S$669.15 more
  • 20% NCD: S$1,061.25, S$403.83 more
  • A driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$1,328.02, S$670.60 more, with 7 insurers pricing
  • A driver aged 65, 20 years' driving: S$707.94, S$50.52 more, with 8 insurers pricing
  • A new car, registered this year: S$582.91, S$74.51 less
  • A car 8 years old: S$696.14, S$38.72 more

The young driver and the driver with no NCD land at almost the same figure, about double the standard case. The young driver is 102% higher. A newer Hustler is cheaper to insure than an older one on these figures.

These are lowest prices only. Plans further up can move by more or less.

Road tax on 658cc

LTA's formula sets road tax for 658cc at S$324.14 a year, before any age surcharge. It is one of the smallest road tax bills going.

A surcharge applies after 10 years:

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

The road tax page gives the sum for any age.

The COE rule

The price page states that a 658cc Hustler 660 needs a Category A COE if its power is 97kW (130bhp) or less. If its power is higher, it needs a Category B COE.

Category A closed at S$132,004 in the October 2026 2nd round. Category B closed at S$131,901. On a used car you meet this cost again only if you renew the COE. The COE page has later results.

Against other 660cc cars

The price page compares six cars with similar engines, for the same driver and car age:

These six average S$698.62. The Hustler is 6% below that. Three are cheaper to insure: the two N-Box models and the Kancil. The other three cost more. The Honda Life and the Kancil have only one or two insurers pricing them, so treat those figures with care.

You can find other Suzuki models on the Suzuki car insurance page, and every make on the cheapest cars to insure list.

The costs that are up to you

A few costs depend on your life, not the car:

  • Parking: your season parking plus parking at work and in town.
  • Petrol: tied to your mileage and pump prices.
  • ERP: tied to your routes and travel times.
  • Upkeep: routine servicing, tyres, brakes and a battery. As the model is not sold new, ask about parts before you buy.
  • Depreciation: shaped by your purchase price and the COE time left.

Summary of yearly costs we can show

For the Suzuki Hustler 660, 658cc:

  • Road tax: S$324.14 a year before any age surcharge (LTA's formula, checked 2026-10-19)
  • Insurance, standard driver: from S$657.42 a year (as of 1 November 2026)
  • Insurance, no NCD: from S$1,326.57
  • Insurance, driver aged 27 with 30% NCD: from S$1,328.02
  • Insurance, car 8 years old: from S$696.14

For context, Category A closed at S$132,004 and Category B at S$131,901 in the October 2026 2nd round.
