Market Watch: Check Out These Low Mileage Pre-Owned EVs In Singapore

The used cars realm can vary depending on where you’re living. Cracking deals can be had in the UK for a few hundred quid, for a car you used to adore in the 90s; unfortunately the same logic can’t be applied in Singapore though, as what we perceive as attainable are stuff of nightmares in other parts of the world.

Which is why car buyers in Singapore are somehow resigned to bear with these prohibitive price tags. Instead, we find alternatives to make the buying experience a tad more justifiable. If you’re into EVs, low mileage options seldom pop up on used car classifieds. After all, it takes some serious guts (and financial muscle) to buy a new car, and to let it go after a couple of months could insinuate some unforeseen circumstances that places the next buyer in good stead.

Straight off the bat, a low mileage used EV will not have a chunk of warranty wiped off. That’s arguably the most important factor if you still have any reservations on battery quality and health down the line. With climbing COE premiums, arguably less delays for vehicle collection and an almost new car experience, some buyers might find it appealing to target this space.

2023 Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo

Mileage: 3,000 km

Covering just 3,000 km in a little over two years almost sounds hard to believe. And with 2 owners, it might make you wonder if this car has any issues! But look beyond that - do request for a proper inspection - and admire the spec on this Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo.

Crayon Grey hue, red interior, soft close doors and a suite of safety features point towards a first owner with good taste. The listing states that it’s “parked under shelter and is the owner’s 5th car”; certainly one performance EV worth taking a closer look.

2024 BMW i4 Gran Coupe eDrive35 M Sport

Mileage: 6,000 km

Our highest mileage example of this shortlist has covered 750 km per month. Extrapolate the data and that’s still less than 10,000 km a year, and way lower than the “psychological” 20,000 km per year mark. With M Sport package intact, coupled with a paintwork so striking, this BMW i4 Gran Coupe eDrive35 M Sport is for those who want to be seen.

But you’ll also enjoy a decent flow as adaptive M suspension is left out of this package, which is a blessing explained in our review earlier this year.

RWD serves to retain that classic BMW DNA, and 400 Nm helps it to push through city streets with absolute ease. This agent unit comes with 5 years warranty, 6 years servicing and 8 years battery warranty.

BYD Denza D9

Mileage: 680km

We needed to do a double take, with that triple digit mileage. It would be a pity to cold storage OneShift’s Car Of The Year 2024, so this is your chance to pile on some no nonsense cross-country miles on it. This front wheel drive Denza D9 in “Elite” spec might sprint to 100 km/h slower than its higher grade sibling (9.5 vs 6.9 seconds), but these cars aren’t meant for spirited driving and you’ll do well either driving or indulging in its captain chairs.

We clocked an efficiency rating of 20.5 kWh/100km, which translates to 500 km per charge (official: 520 km). Luxury limousines from other regions may have faded into the background, so trust Denza to deliver cars that belong to a different kettle of fish; that’s the result when manufacturers give engineers and designers free reign to brew something!
