Insurance group 47 categories

  • 47E: Surpasses the security requirements for this type of car, leading to a lower insurance group rating.
  • 47A: Meets the standard security requirements for this type of car.
  • 47D: Falls short of security requirements for this type of car, resulting in a higher insurance group rating.
  • 47U: Security standard is unacceptable. The insurer might require upgraded aftermarket security before providing coverage.
  • 47P: Provisional status. Insufficient data is available at launch for classification. This will likely be updated once Thatcham can evaluate the new car.
  • 47G: Grey import. Thatcham tests only officially sold UK cars, so imports are evaluated based on the insurer’s pricing.

Average insurance group 47e cost

To provide you with an idea of how much it may cost you to insure your insurance group 47 car, we ran several quotes to find an average figure. Based on our results, on average, you could insure your car with a comprehensive policy for the monthly price of £220.86, or an annual sum of £3,048.

Why are cars in group 47 more expensive to insure?

Cars in insurance group 47 tend to have:

  • A high market value
  • Expensive to source parts
  • Large powerful engines
  • Long and expensive repairs

What other factors affect your car insurance premium?

Along with your car’s insurance group, these three factors have the biggest impact on the cost of your insurance:

  • Engine type and capacity. Larger engines cost more to repair or replace, so you’ll pay more to insure powerful vehicles.
  • Driver location. Insurers consider your location when assessing how much to charge you. If you live in an area where a lot of people make claims, you’ll pay more. As an example, a 30-year-old in central London will pay £20,691 for insurance for an Audi A7 40 TDI S Line Exclusive S Tronic 5d, while the same 30-year-old in Newcastle may only pay £3,079.
  • Driver age. Insurers will take your age into consideration when offering you a car insurance quote. Younger drivers will tend to pay more, because they are statistically more likely to make a claim. For example, the average 20-year-old driver in London could pay £33,785 for the Nissan 370Z 3.7 V6 GT (Sat Nav) 3d Auto, while the average 40-year-old Londoner will only pay £17,270.

However, there are a lot of other factors that can also impact the price of your premium. These include the following:

  • Your marital status
  • Your credit history and job
  • Your car’s safety rating, security and anti-theft precautions
  • Likelihood of theft
  • The model and age of your car
  • Your driving activity
  • Your driving history, including your no-claim discount

How can I save on my car insurance premium?

Choosing a car in a lower insurance group than group 47 is a great start.

Thankfully, there are a few other things you can do to drive down the cost of your car insurance.

We’ve listed some of them below:

  • Drive safely. It may sound obvious but having convictions on your record will make your premium more expensive.
  • Don’t use your car all of the time. You could save money on your insurance by reducing the number of miles you drive in your car.
  • Pay annually. By paying annually, you often end up with a cheaper deal, as you won’t have to pay interest on your monthly instalments.
  • Install extra safety precautions. The safer you make your car, the less you’ll pay to insure it.
  • Shop around. When it’s time for renewal, make sure you compare your options using price comparison websites.
