Mercedes-Benz B-Class insurance group

The Mercedes B-Class is a people carrier with the style and class you’d expect from a Mercedes. It’s available with a wide range of trims, including diesel, hybrid and petrol engine options. It’s based on the A-Class, the executive car, which is the smallest in the Mercedes range. If you want a similar level of handling and zip that the A-Class has, with more space for the family and their luggage, this is a better option for you.

In this guide, we’ll look in more detail at car insurance costs for the Mercedes B-class and how you could save on your premiums.

Mercedes-Benz B-class insurance groups

Vehicles in the UK are categorised into insurance groups, ranging from 1 (the cheapest) to 50 (the most expensive), which partly determine the cost of your premium.

Mercedes B-class models range from group 10 to group 27. This means the cost of insurance can vary significantly between various B-class models, from the more affordable end of the spectrum to just into the pricier end of the range. For example, a 30-year-old driver in an average postcode could pay:

• around £712 for cover on a Mercedes B-Class B180d AMG Line 5d, which is in insurance group 14
• or around £777 for a group 22 car, like the Mercedes B-Class B220d AMG Line Premium Plus 5d Auto.

The insurance group a model is placed in depends on a number of factors including the model’s engine size and price.

However, the insurance group isn’t the only factor determining the cost of your car insurance: one of the most important other factors is your age. The younger you are, the more risk you represent to insurers, and the more you’re likely to pay for insurance.

That’s why, in the table below, we show you the cost you’d be likely to pay at a few different ages.
