20 Oct 2026 · 5 min read

If you are weighing up a Volvo V60 Cross Country, this guide sets its yearly costs side by side. It covers the COE and road tax first, since the engine fixes them. Then it turns to insurance, where the plan with the lowest premium also has the highest excess.

All insurance figures are examples read on 20 October 2026 for one stated driver and car. They are not a quote.

Versions on our quote form

The new-car list has no entry for the V60 Cross Country on sale now. So this guide gives no list price, power figure or body type. The quote form lists three versions, all with a 1,969cc engine:

  • V60 Cross Country B4 Plus
  • V60 Cross Country B5
  • V60 Cross Country B5 Plus

The figures below are for the B4 Plus, the version most insurers quote. The three share an engine size, so the road tax below applies to each. Insurance may still differ by version.

COE

The price page states that the V60 Cross Country B4 Plus, with its 1,969cc engine, is above 1,600cc. It needs a Category B COE. Category B closed at S$130,100 in the October 2026 1st round.

The COE page has the latest round. On a registered car, check when the COE ends before you agree a price.

Road tax

LTA's formula gives S$1,175.74 a year for a 1,969cc engine, before any age surcharge.

The surcharge applies once a car is 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%

The road tax page covers other engine sizes.

Insurance for the standard driver

The Volvo V60 Cross Country price page prices this case:

  • Car: V60 Cross Country B4 Plus, registered 3 years ago, private use, comprehensive cover
  • Driver: aged 40, married, office job, driving 10 to 19 years
  • Record: 50% no-claim discount (NCD), no claims
  • Repairs: authorised workshop, no add-ons

For that driver:

  • 11 insurers give a price
  • S$973.95 is the lowest premium
  • S$2,105.31 is the least the insurer with the highest lowest plan asks
  • S$1,131.36 separates them, or 116% on top

All prices include 9% GST. Five insurers on our panel have no online price. Four have none for this model yet, and one does not list the model on its online quote.

The excess behind the lowest price

The excess is the part of each claim you pay. The lowest premium here carries a S$2,500 excess, the only plan on the page that high. Eight plans carry S$600. Three sit at S$500 and three at S$800. One plan has none.

So the plan that is lowest on premium is the one with the largest excess. If you would rather pay less when you claim, look at the next plans on the list.

How the premium moves

With one detail changed and the rest held, the lowest price becomes:

  • No NCD (0%): S$1,310.92, S$336.97 more
  • 20% NCD: S$1,310.92, S$336.97 more
  • Driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$1,310.92, S$336.97 more
  • Driver aged 65, 20 or more years' driving: S$1,113.55, S$139.60 more
  • A new car, registered this year: S$944.11, S$29.84 less
  • A car 8 years old: S$930.61, S$43.34 less

Losing the NCD adds 35% at the lowest price. A driver aged 27 pays the same. A driver aged 65 pays S$139.60 more.

On car age, both a new car and an 8-year-old one start below the 3-year-old car on the page. A new one has one fewer insurer quoting.

These are lowest prices only. Other plans may move by other amounts.
