Vauxhall Car Insurance — frequently asked questions
Are Vauxhalls cheap to insure?
Yes — mainstream Corsas, Astras and Mokkas occupy low-to-mid insurance groups, and base-trim Corsas (group 2–5) are perennial first-car picks. VXR and GSe performance trims are the exception.
What insurance group is a Vauxhall Corsa?
From group 2 (older 1.2 base trims) to around 18 for the punchier petrols — and the Corsa Electric sits around 14–22. Check any specific Corsa's group free by reg with a Motorscan check; trim moves it a long way.
Is the Corsa Electric expensive to insure?
It sits roughly 8–12 groups above an equivalent petrol Corsa — battery and electronics repair costs — but remains one of the cheaper EVs to cover. See our electric vehicle insurance guide for the EV-specific things worth checking.
