Nope. COE has always been based on engine capacity.

OMV is used to determine ARF.

Now Cat A not only below 1.6 Litre,also need to be below 130Bhp.,Let say Mercedes Benz GLA 200,is a 1.4 Litres,because the Power exceeded 130Bhp,still need Cat B COE to Register.

Yup. Take example the new Lexus LBX or the Honda Civic. Both cars are detuned to lower than 130bhp to fit into the CAT A COE. In today's digital world, any potential car buyer will research the car he's interested. They will compare the specs in Europe or Japan to the one available in Singapore. Watched dozens of overseas car reviews on youtube. The authorised dealers cannot smoke their way out for shortchanging buyers.
