Top 10: Lowest Insurance Group Fords

2

Ford Fiesta 1.1 70 Style – Insurance Group 2

With the demise of the Ka, the baton has passed to the Ka+ as the cheapest new Ford model. This brings it into competition with some of the most competent small cars and supermini we’ve ever encountered, including Ford’s very own Fiesta. Unfazed, the Ka+ makes it case with low running costs and a Group 1 insurance ranking.

It’s not the most exciting car to look at, or to drive, but the Ka+ gets it right with cabin quality, space inside for five and a generous boot of 270-litres. It’s even well equipped for this price-point.

Ford Mondeo 1.5 TDCi 120 ECOnetic Titanium – Insurance Group 17

The Mondeo might not be the six-figure seller it once was, but you’d be daft to ignore it when considering a mid-sized family hatch or estate. Take a look and you’ll find a car with masses of cabin space for people and luggage, and it’s very well put together and kitted out to a high level as standard.

Ford has also employed a range of downsized engines that work admirably in the Mondeo. The 1.0-litre turbo petrol is great, but insurance-conscious buyers will be drawn to the 1.5 TDCi 120 that returns a combined 78.5mpg and 94g/km in hatch form.

Ford S-Max 2.0 TDCi 120 Zetec – Insurance Group 16

Ford’s S-Max is the only people carrier that has ever made using an MPV cool, no matter what all those The Apprentice wannabees think. Cleverly mixing seven seat versatility with the balmy driving pleasures of the Mondeo with which it shares its mechanical undergarments, the S-Max is soothing and enjoyable to drive.

A bit of a compromise is needed to benefit from the lowest insurance group, so you’ll need to go for the least powerful turbodiesel. Mind you, 56.5mpg and 129g/km in a large MPV are not to be sniffed at.

Ford Edge 2.0 TDCi 210 Titanium Powershift – Insurance Group 26

Shipping models from the USA to the UK has rarely worked well, but Ford has pulled off that trick with the Edge. The styling might be a bit outré for those more used to sober German fare, but it stands out in a crowd and is complemented by a fine drive.

Inside, the Edge is well put together and plushly appointed in this Titanium trim chosen here. Being a Ford, the price is reasonable, too, and insurance in the Group 26 bracket makes it cheaper to get cover for than many other large SUVs.

Ford B-Max 1.4 90 Studio – Insurance Group 7

Small MPVs may be getting a hard time from their crossover cousins, but the Ford B-Max has a party piece like no other: its pillarless join between the front and rear doors. This is achieved by the back doors sliding rearwards, leaving a sizeable aperture for passengers to get in and out.

With practicality given a big tick, this Fiesta-based MPV gets another for the way it drives. You will need to choose the plodding 1.4 petrol to keep insurance in the Group 7 bracket, but it does come with a temptingly low list price before you even factor in a discount.
