Every car sold in the UK is assigned to one of 50 insurance groups by Thatcham Research and the ABI. Group 1 typically represents the lowest insurance cost, and group 50 the highest. Insurers generally use these groups as one factor when calculating your premium, alongside your age, location, driving history, and other personal details. For example, the Audi A1 25 TFSI in SE trim typically sits around Group 9, while the RS6 Avant reaches Group 50.
Insurance groups set by Thatcham Research and the ABI.
Audi models typically range from Group 9 (A1) to Group 50 (RS6 Avant), so insurance costs can vary significantly depending on which Audi you drive. Trim choice matters. S line variants typically sit several groups above the SE equivalent on the same model.
Insurance groups are only one of several factors. Insurers may also weigh up your age, where you live, your annual mileage, your driving history, and any modifications to the car. Two drivers insuring the same Audi could receive very different quotes.
Whether you choose fully comprehensive, third party fire and theft, or third party only cover can also affect your premium. Comprehensive cover is often competitively priced compared to third party only.
The most reliable way to find your price is to compare quotes from multiple insurers.
Based on typical Thatcham insurance group ratings, these four Audi models sit in the lowest group bands and may be worth shortlisting if keeping the premium down is a priority.
1. A1 (Groups 9-28)
Typically one of the most affordable Audis to insure. The base 25 TFSI in SE trim starts in single digits, which is very low for a premium brand.
2. Q2 (Groups 13-27)
Audi's smallest SUV. Starts at Group 13 for the 30 TFSI in SE trim, so it may suit buyers who want a compact SUV without the group jump you see on a Q3.
3. A3 Sportback (Groups 15-33)
The mainstream A3 hatchback. Base petrol trims start in the mid-teens. S3 and higher-power trims push up considerably.
4. A1 Sportback (Groups 17-31)
The current A1 body style. Starts a few groups higher than the earlier A1 but still relatively low for the segment.

Get QuotesAudi is a premium brand, so most models sit in higher groups than mainstream rivals. That said, the A1 (Groups 9-28) and Q2 (Groups 13-27) start low enough to be practical first-car options for new drivers, particularly in SE trim.
A telematics policy could help new drivers demonstrate safe driving habits, which may lead to lower premiums over time. Black box devices or app-based policies typically monitor braking, cornering, and time of day, and reward safe driving with a lower renewal price.
If you are aged 17 to 21, see our dedicated young drivers insurance guide for more tips. At this age, mainstream brands like Ford or VW may be easier to insure than an Audi.
University students may also find our student car insurance guide helpful, particularly for advice on registering the car at the address where it is kept most often.
Seven practical steps that could help reduce your Audi insurance premium.
Compare quotes from multiple insurers
Prices for the same car and driver can vary significantly between providers. Comparing quotes is typically the most effective way to find a competitive deal.
Choose SE trim over S line
Trim choice can shift your group by several places on the same Audi. If group is a priority, SE typically sits below S line and considerably below S or RS badges.
Avoid the S and RS badges
S3, RS3, S6, and RS6 typically sit in the top group bands. If you want the look, an S line trim may be a lower-group compromise.
Consider the Q4 e-tron
The Q4 e-tron (Groups 31-40) sits in the middle of the Audi range. Worth quoting if you are open to an electric car.
Consider a telematics policy
A black box or app-based policy could reward safe driving with lower premiums.
Increase your voluntary excess
A higher excess typically means a lower premium, but make sure you could afford to pay it if you needed to make a claim.
Pay annually if you can
Monthly instalments could add interest to the overall cost, so paying upfront may save you money over the year.
