Hi all,

Does anyone know if the insurance groups have yet been decided? Especially for the 1.4 Sport and 1.2 SE?

Hi,

Try this link below and use the search fields on the right hand side. The 1.4 is looking like group 15/16.

Thanks Jae
I panicked for a moment there as my 210 bhp Golf GTI is group 17 - until I realised that that is on the 1-20 scale. On the 1-50 its 34 so the A1 ought to be cheaper.

phew thanks. I was thinking the same that the Audi should be cheaper than my BMW 116i. Will have to find out what it is on the 1-50 scale

I did a quote the other day switching between Sport and S line and they were both coming back with the same premium so I'm hoping that'll stay the same despite it being 15/16 for the 1.4 Stronics.

I always compare insurance to the Mini Cooper as that was my benchmark some years back, it was 9 on the 1-20 and checking on thatcham.org it's 17, my current car is 31 so very pleased with the news today, thanks Jae/AOne.
