Top 10: Lowest Insurance Group Volkswagens

Volkswagen Touran 1.6 TDI 115 SE Family BlueMotion– Insurance Group 10

The world may be obsessed with crossovers, but the Volkswagen Touran plenty of space for those who need to carry five or seven passengers regularly. So, that’ll be families and minicab drivers, and that means low insurance premiums are an important consideration. Luckily, this version of VW’s MPV sits in Group 10.

Other reasons the Touran might slot into your life are the individually slide and fold rear seats. Combined economy of 61.4mpg is good, too, though you need to go for the DSG auto if you want to improve that 65.7mpg and that means going up two insurance groups.

Volkswagen Sharan 2.0 TDI 115 S BlueMotion – Insurance Group 14

The Sharan is one of a rare breed now: a full-size seven-seat MPV. Where once they were ten-a-penny, now the classy Sharan and its Seat sister model account for a large slice of the sector.

It’s easy to see why some still choose the Sharan courtesy of its sliding side rear doors for unhindered access to the second and third rows of seats. You also get a commanding driving position, though this car is never going to set your pulse racing in the driving stakes.

Volkswagen Jetta 1.4 TSI 122 SE – Insurance Group 10

The Whatta? You may well ask as the Volkswagen Jetta is not a big seller in the UK, though it has many fans in the USA. Essentially a saloon version of the Golf, it’s not as practical as its hatchback sister but it steers, rides and handles with the same unerring competence that demands little of its driver.

It’s not exciting, but then it has one redeeming feature and that’s this Jetta sits four insurance groups lower than its equivalent Golf version. Enough to make you say “Wha… ?”

Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet 1.2 TSI 105 – Insurance Group 11

The Beetle Cabriolet may be a drop-top, but the only thing you’ll find it dripping in is retro appeal. This second-generation Beetle gets it spot on and you can add to the period charm with some choice extras. It has four seats and the fabric roof goes up and down in a nifty 11 seconds at up to 31mph on the move.

Given it’s not the last word in dynamic driving, you might as well choose the 1.2 TSI petrol for its easy-going nature and Group 11 insurance bracket. After all, who cares about flat-out speed when you’re cruising with the roof down?

Volkswagen Touareg 3.0 TDI V6 204 R-Line BlueMotion – Insurance Group 35

Given the spate of compact crossovers arriving on the market, the Volkswagen Touareg could almost get forgotten. That would be a shame, in our view, as it’s a very capable, comfortable large SUV. Quality is up there with the best in class and the VW can handle off-roading easily.

To keep running costs reasonable, the 204PS 3.0litre V6 turbodiesel is the one to go for as it sits in Group 35, five bands below the more potent version. Even so, you’ll be hard pressed to notice the difference in performance.
