Before the April 1999 tender, cars bid by engine size: Cat B’s line there is the old category for 1,601 to 2,000 cc cars. Until March 2002, COEs went by sealed tender once a month (with an open tender beside it from mid-2001), so a premium could drop to a few dollars when bids barely outnumbered COEs. Open bidding twice a month since April 2002. The gap in 2020: no bidding from April to June, during the circuit breaker.

$150,001, at the Oct 2023, 2nd exercise. Since 2010 the lowest was $19,190 (Jan 2010, 1st). Before April 1999 the line is LTA’s old category for 1,601 to 2,000 cc cars.

Which vehicles are in Category B?
Cars above 1,600 cc or 97 kW (110 kW if fully electric). The engine’s power counts as well as its size, so check the car’s kW, not just its cc. LTA puts a vehicle in its category when it’s registered.

$131,819 to renew a COE for 10 years, or $65,910 for 5 years. The PQP is the average Cat B premium of the last three months’ exercises (August 2026 to October 2026), rounded up. Check OneMotoring before you renew.
