Peugeot insurance groups
Quick answer
Peugeot is solidly mainstream on the insurance scale: the 208 starts in single figures, the 2008 and 3008 crossovers sit in the mid-teens, and nothing in the current range climbs into performance territory. The electric versions sit a few groups above their petrol twins.

How much does it cost to insure a Peugeot?
There is no single Peugeot insurance cost, because the range covers groups 7 to 26. So what is the average cost to insure a Peugeot? Across the models we cover it works out at roughly £435 a year for a driver aged 30–49 on comprehensive cover, with the cheapest entry trims near £350 and the highest-rated derivatives near £760. That average Peugeot car insurance cost is a midpoint rather than a prediction: it tells you where the brand sits against others, not what you will pay.
So is Peugeot expensive to insure? Not especially. Peugeot sits in the affordable half of the market. How much does a Peugeot cost to insure in practice? That depends almost entirely on which one: the Peugeot 307 is the cheapest model here, starting at group 7, while the Peugeot 3008 reaches group 26 at the top of its range. That gap matters far more than the badge, which is why a model-by-model comparison beats any brand-level average.
Treat these as comparison figures rather than a Peugeot car insurance price you can hold us to. The average cost of Peugeot car insurance in your own case will also depend on your age, postcode, mileage, claims history and excess, and for an actual Peugeot car insurance quote you will need to price the exact derivative. The fastest way to know which derivative you are looking at is to check the registration.
Compare it against the rest of the market in the insurance group prices table, or see how the group affects your premium across age bands. For everything outside the car, read what affects car insurance price.
The electric step is smaller than you'd expect
The e-208 and e-2008 sit above the petrol versions, but by a handful of groups rather than a leap. These are modest-performance EVs on shared platforms, so the uplift reflects battery repair cost rather than the dramatic jump seen on larger, faster electric cars. If you're comparing petrol and electric within the range, the group gap is unlikely to be the deciding factor.
Crossover versus hatchback
The 2008 is essentially a raised 208, and the ratings follow: a few groups higher for the extra height, weight and equipment, not a different category. The 3008 steps up again for size. It's a clean illustration that body style shifts a group gradually rather than reclassifying a car.
How these ratings are set
Every figure here comes from the same ABI/Thatcham 1–50 scale used across the site — there is no separate scale for a body style or a brand. See how insurance groups are decided for the rating factors behind each number, or car insurance groups explained for the wider picture. For model ranges launched since August 2024, check our Vehicle Risk Rating guide — those cars are increasingly rated on a different framework.
