Toyota Blade 2.4 costs in Singapore, from road tax to insurance

The Toyota Blade 2.4 in Singapore: road tax on 2,362cc, the Category B COE and car insurance from seven insurers, dated 1 November 2026.

The Toyota Blade 2.4 is a hatchback with a larger engine than most cars its size. It is not sold new in Singapore now, so it is a used-car choice. This page lists what it costs each year and what changes those costs.

The insurance figures are examples for one stated driver, as of 1 November 2026. They let you compare insurers. Your own quote rests on your details.

Not on the new-car list

The new-car list has no entry for the Blade. So there is no list price, power figure or body type to give here.

The price page prices the Toyota Blade 2.4, 2,362cc, the version most of our insurers quote.

A 2.4-litre engine means Category B

The 2,362cc engine is above 1,600cc. The price page says that puts the Blade 2.4 in Category B, which closed at S$131,901 in the October 2026 2nd round.

This matters if you renew the COE when it runs out. The COE page shows each new result.

Road tax: S$1,636.72 a year

The engine size also lifts road tax. LTA's formula gives S$1,636.72 a year for 2,362cc, before any age surcharge. On these figures, that is about twice the lowest insurance premium.

The surcharge for cars 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%

A Blade on the road today may be close to these steps, or past them. Ask for the registration date. The road tax page works out the sum.

Insurance across seven insurers

The Toyota Blade price page prices this case:

  • Car: Blade 2.4, 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

7 insurers price it online, with 12 plans in all. The lowest premium is S$774.43 a year. The insurer whose lowest plan costs most asks at least S$1,355.16. That is S$580.73 more, or 75% on top. The dearest plan is S$1,520.08. Prices include 9% GST.

Eleven insurers on our panel have no online price for the Blade. One does not list the model on its online quote.

Excess: mostly S$600

Here the lowest premium comes with a S$600 excess, the same as most plans. The second-lowest, at S$872.39, carries S$1,200. Two plans carry S$500.

That makes this page simpler than many. The lowest premium does not hide a large excess. Still, read what each plan covers, as the plan names show different tiers.

Several plans from two insurers come in matched pairs at the same price. They sit in the upper half of the list. So the lower half, where four insurers each offer a plan up to S$1,070.95, is where most of the comparing happens for this driver.

Price changes by driver and car

The price page shows the lowest price when one detail changes:

  • No NCD (0%): S$1,513.94, which is S$739.51 more, with 8 insurers pricing
  • 20% NCD: S$1,211.89, S$437.46 more, with 8 insurers pricing
  • A driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$1,583.82, S$809.39 more
  • A driver aged 65, 20 years' driving: S$846.30, S$71.87 more, with 6 insurers pricing
  • A new car, registered this year: S$797.73, S$23.30 more
  • A car 8 years old: S$737.13, S$37.30 less

A young driver pays most: the lowest price is 105% higher. No NCD nearly doubles it too. An older car costs a little less to insure.

In every case the lowest price comes from the same insurer. Even so, these are lowest prices only, and other plans may shift differently.

The Blade against similar cars

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

Their average lowest price is S$1,067.40. The Blade is 27% below that. Only one, the Honda Odyssey, is cheaper to insure. The Outlander is close behind the Blade, while the Audi models cost a good deal more.

Other Toyota models are on the Toyota car insurance page. The cheapest cars to insure page ranks every make.

Costs you will set yourself

No single figure fits these:

  • Parking: season parking at home and work, plus parking around town.
  • Petrol: tied to how far you drive and pump prices. The larger engine is worth noting.
  • ERP: tied to your routes and timing.
  • Servicing and wear: routine servicing, tyres, brakes and a battery. For a model no longer sold new, ask about parts.
  • Depreciation: tied to what you pay and the COE life left.

Summary of yearly costs we can show

For the Toyota Blade 2.4, 2,362cc:

  • Road tax: S$1,636.72 a year before any age surcharge (LTA's formula, checked 2026-10-19)
