COE Results Apr 2025 1st Bidding: Up across the board!

The first round of bidding for April saw Certificate of Entitlement (COE) premiums climbing across all private car categories. 

The continued rise in premiums this session could be due rejuvenated interest in new car purchases due to the various roadshows which dealers here have been organising across our island's malls in the past weeks. Cycle & Carriage, for example, has only just concluded its showcase of the new 'Allure' trim Peugeot 408 at i12 Katong, while Champion Motors also recently showcased its lineup of Suzuki models at Bukit Panjang Plaza.
