The Mazda 2 is a small family car produced by the Japanese manufacturer since 2002. It’s not as cheap to buy and insure as other vehicles in this class, but it packs more of a punch than most of these cars when it comes to power and acceleration. In this guide, you’ll learn the key facts about insuring a Mazda 2, including how to keep your insurance premium costs down.

Mazda 2 insurance groups and cost by driver’s age

When it comes to car insurance, all vehicles are given a specific insurance group that ranges from 1 (cheapest) to 50 (most expensive) which helps determine the cost of your premium. Mazda 2 models range from insurance groups 13 to 20, so you can generally expect the cost of insurance to be fairly reasonable.

However, the the cost of insurance can vary between insurance groups based on a number of different factors including your car’s performance, safety features and cost of repair. For example, a 30-year-old driver in an average postcode could pay around £756 for cover on a Mazda 2 1.5 (75bhp) SE 5d (insurance group 13), or around £816 for a Mazda 2 SkyActiv-G 115ps GT Sport 5d which falls in insurance group 20.

You can find the insurance group, and likely premium cost, of your Mazda 2 model in the table below.

Which factors affect my Mazda 2 insurance rate?

Along with the insurance group, there are a few key factors that impact on your insurance premium costs:

  • Driver location. Where you live helps determine the level of risk that your car may be stolen or you’ll be involved in an accident, and this affects the cost of insurance. For example, a 30-year-old in central London may pay £932 for insurance for a Mazda 2 1.5d Sport 5d, while the same 30-year-old in Newcastle may only pay £781.
  • Driver age. The younger you are, the more risk you represent to insurers, and the more you’re likely to pay for insurance. The average 20-year-old driver in London may pay £1,648 for the Mazda 2 SkyActiv-G 90ps GT Sport Nav+ 5d, while the average 40-year-old Londoner will only pay £863.

How can I save on my Mazda 2 car insurance?

Whilst car insurance is a necessary expense, you don’t want it to leave you out of pocket. When searching for insurance, you’ll want to find the best deal for a price that’s within your budget. There are a few tricks you can try in order to save on your car insurance premiums, and we’ve listed them below.

  • Limit your car usage (where possible). Occasionally deciding to walk or get public transport, rather than using your car, can help to save on your premiums.
  • Pay annually rather than monthly. Whilst it might be scary to part with a large sum of money in one go, by paying annually you can save an average of £108.72 a year.
  • Install extra safety measures on your vehicle. The safer your car is, the less of a risk it will be for companies to insure. By adding extra safety measures, you’re quite likely to lower your premium.
  • Don’t just accept your renewal quote. Although it might be time consuming, when it’s time for renewal make sure you shop around and don’t just settle for the renewal price given to you – there may be cheaper options out there!
