Peugeot 2008 insurance group and cost

The Peugeot 2008 is the SUV, which the French manufacturer built to compete with more premium brands such as the Audi Q2 and the BMW X1. Since it was first introduced in 2013, it has competed well. In this guide, you’ll learn the key facts about insuring a Peugeot 2008, including how much you can expect to pay.

What insurance group does a Peugeot 2008 fall under?

Car insurance groups range from 1 (cheapest) up to 50 (most expensive). Peugeot 2008 car models fall within car insurance groups 8-24, which means the cost of your premium should fall on the cheaper side in comparison to other makes and models.

However, the costs may vary slightly between Peugeot 2008 insurance groups due to differences between models such as the trim levels and engine size. For example, a 30-year-old driver in an average postcode could pay around £562 for cover on a Peugeot 2008 Active 1.2 PureTech 82 ECG auto (05/16 on) 5d, or around £706 for a Peugeot 2008 1.6 VTi Feline 5d.

Which factors affect the insurance rate for my Peugeot 2008?

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

• Engine type and capacity. In general, if your car model has a big engine, you are likely to pay more for your car insurance in comparison to a small engine model. The Peugeot 2008 comes in varying performance specs, ranging from the 1.2-litre version up to the the 1.6-litre. This 0.4 difference can impact your insurance premium. For example, you would pay around £935 for insurance on a Peugeot 2008 1.2 e-VTi Active 5d EGC, while you could pay up to £1,170 for a Peugeot 2008 1.6 BlueHDi (120bhp) Allure 5d. In this specific example, the Peugeot 2008 that is 0.4 litres bigger in engine size, costs an extra £126 in premium.
• Driver location. Insurers will also look into where you currently live and look at the number of claims in the area and the likelihood of theft. As an example, a 30-year-old in central London will pay £908 for insurance for a Peugeot 2008 1.6 VTi Feline 5d, while the same 30-year-old in Newcastle may only pay £706.
• Driver age. Like location, the age of the driver is also looked into by the insurer when giving you your insurance premium. This is because statistically younger drivers are more likely to be involved in car accidents. The average 20-year-old driver in London could pay £4,397 for the Peugeot 2008 1.6 VTi Active 5d, while the average 40-year-old Londoner will only pay £862.

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

• Your marital status
• Your employment
• Your anti-theft precautions
• Likelihood of theft
• Your car’s age
• Your driving history
• No claim discount

Despite being classed as a premium SUV, the Peugeot 2008 is relatively cheap to insure. Better yet, the tips in this guide will help you to cut the cost of your premiums even further.
