Who are Subaru?
Established in 1958, when their first car the Kei was designed to tackle the narrow streets of Tokyo, Japanese car manufacturers Subaru have grown to become a niche leader in the tough all-wheel drive and affordable sports car markets.
Following a successful history of rally racing, in 1992 Subaru launched the first Impreza. The Impreza still remains a firm favourite for Subaru fans, while the company’s main focus lies with AWD technology and the crossover SUV market.
The all-new XV, rated by EuroNCAP as the ‘safest small family car in Europe 2017’, offers a great all-round performance and is a firm favourite with families who want a reliable crossover with impressive AWD capabilities.
Subaru insurance FAQs
How much does a Subaru cost to insure?
Staying true to their rally-racing roots, all Subaru cars undergo extensive crash-tests and safety checks. Their excellent safety rating has helped to influence insurance costs, and drivers looking for affordable insurance will be pleasantly surprised by low premium costs on the popular family models. On the other hand, the Impreza, considered a sports performance car, is popular with young drivers, so the average premium will be higher.
Like all cars, the cost of Subaru insurance is based on factors such as your age, driving history and the insurance group your Subaru falls into.
Insurance groups vary significantly depending on the specific model and engine size:
Model | Insurance groups |
Impreza | Groups 12-18 |
Forester | Groups 16-34 |
Legacy | Groups 19-22 |
Outback | Groups 17-23 |
XV | Groups 10-16 |
WRX | Groups 40-43 |
Brz | Groups 30-31 |
