Toyota Auris insurance group and cost

The Toyota Auris is family car produced by the Japanese manufacturer since 2006. It’s known as a reliable no-frills vehicle, and it’s relatively cheap to insure. In this guide, you’ll learn the key facts about insuring a Toyota Auris.

Toyota Auris insurance groups and cost by driver’s age

Toyota Auris models range from insurance groups 6 to 16, so you can generally expect the cost of your insurance to be quite reasonable. However, the difference in cost between insurance groups can vary quite a bit and this is down to a number of factors such as the market value of the car, the car’s safety and security features and its engine size.

For example, a 30-year-old driver in an average postcode could pay around £689 for cover on a Toyota Auris 1.33 Dual VVTi Active 5d (insurance group 7), or around £646 for a Toyota Auris 1.6 V-Matic Icon+ (Leather) 5d which falls in insurance group 16. In this example, it costs an extra £103 to insure the Toyota Auris 1.6 V-Matic Icon+ (Leather) 5d, which is nine insurance groups higher.

Which factors affect my insurance rate?

Along with the insurance group, there are other key factors that impact your insurance premium costs:

• Engine type and capacity. As a general rule of thumb, the bigger the engine, the more you will pay for your car insurance. An average 30-year-old may pay £562 for the 1.3-litre Toyota Auris 1.33 VVTi Active 5d, but could pay around £712 for the 1.6-litre Toyota Auris 1.6 D-4D Icon 5d. In this example, the vehicle with an engine size that is 0.3 litres bigger costs an extra £68 per year to insure.
• Driver location. Where you live helps determine the level of risk that your car may be stolen, vandalised or you’ll be involved in an accident, and this affects the cost of insurance. For example, a 30-year-old in central London may pay £1,190 for insurance for a Toyota Auris 1.2T Icon TSS 5d, while the same 30-year-old in Newcastle may only pay £688. With London home to over eight million people and a high crime rate, there’s no surprise that the cost of insurance for the London based driver is an extra £136 per year.
• Driver age. Age is one of the most significant factors that insurers use when calculating car insurance. In general, the younger you are, the more risk you represent to insurers, and the more you’re likely to pay for insurance. The average 20-year-old driver in London may pay £3,041 for the Toyota Auris 1.4 D-4D Sport 5d, while the average 40-year-old Londoner will only pay £776.

Other factors that influence the cost of your insurance include:

• Your marital status
• Your credit history
• Your job title
• Your car’s safety rating score
• The model of your car
• The age of your car
• Your car’s security and any extra anti-theft precautions
• Annual miles driven
• Your driving history and activity
• No claim discount
