Which cars are in car insurance group 11?
Insurance group numbers run from 1 to 50, with 1 generally being the cheapest to insure. Cars in group 11 are towards the cheaper end of the scale, but remember the overall cost of your insurance premium is also decided by your age, where you live, your driving history and even your job title.
Even though group 11 is towards the cheaper end of the range, it doesn’t mean that there aren’t well-known and well-loved makes and models – including the Volkswagen Golf, the BMW series 2 and the Nissan Qashqai – as well as more obvious models like the Ford Fiesta. There’s also a mix of body types, not just small hatchbacks.

Who are group 11 cars most suitable for?
It doesn’t matter if you prefer a hatchback, MPV or SUV, you can find a group 11 vehicle style to suit you. Group 11 is good for people who aren’t looking to set any new lap records and want fuel economy, as they don’t usually have the most powerful engine sizes. But there are many great practical run-arounds and family cars. Group 11 might also indicate that it could be at the cheaper end when it comes to parts and repairs too – but obviously that will depend on what’s needed.
