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 Hyundai i10 typically starts at Group 1, while the Ioniq 5 climbs to Groups 29 to 41.

How Much Does Hyundai Car Insurance Cost?

Hyundai models typically start at Group 1 (i10) and reach Group 41 (Ioniq 5), so insurance costs can vary significantly depending on which Hyundai you drive. The i10 sits at the very bottom of the Thatcham scale, making it a popular choice for keeping premiums down.

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 Hyundai 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.

Which Hyundai Models May Be Cheapest to Insure?

Based on typical Thatcham insurance group ratings, these four Hyundai models sit in the lowest group bands and may be worth shortlisting if keeping the premium down is a priority.

  1. 1. i10 (Groups 1-7)

    Typically one of the cheapest cars to insure in the UK. The i10 starts at Group 1, which is the lowest possible rating on the Thatcham scale.

  2. 2. i20 (Groups 4-11)

    Hyundai's supermini. Starts in single digits and stays below Group 12 across most trims.

  3. 3. Kona (from Group 10)

    A compact crossover starting at Group 10. Popular family choice with a higher driving position without a big group jump from the i20.

  4. 4. i30 (Groups 10-15)

    A family hatchback in the low-teens groups. Practical for everyday driving and typically cheaper than the equivalent Ford Focus or VW Golf.

Hyundai Car Insurance for New Drivers

Hyundai has several models that may be practical first cars for new drivers. The i10 (Groups 1-7) and i20 (Groups 4-11) both sit at the low end of the Thatcham scale and are widely available on the used market. The i10 starts at Group 1, which is one of the lowest possible ratings.

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.

How to Get Cheaper Hyundai Car Insurance

Seven practical steps that could help reduce your Hyundai insurance premium.

1

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.

2

Start with the i10

Hyundai's smallest car starts at Group 1, which is as low as the Thatcham scale goes. If you can live with the size, it may save you noticeably on premium.

3

Weigh up the Ioniq 5 carefully

The Ioniq 5 (Groups 29-41) sits higher than the older Ioniq Electric (Groups 16-17) and much higher than the petrol Hyundai range. Worth quoting all three if you are open to an electric car.

4

Consider a telematics policy

A black box or app-based policy could reward safe driving with lower premiums, particularly for younger drivers.

5

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.

6

Think about where you park

Parking off-road, in a garage, or on a driveway could reduce your premium compared to parking on the street.

7

Pay annually if you can

Monthly instalments could add interest to the overall cost, so paying upfront may save you money over the year.

The Ioniq 5 typically sits in Groups 29 to 41, which is higher than you might expect for a family EV. Electric cars often sit in higher groups than petrol equivalents due to battery repair costs, and the Ioniq 5's premium positioning pushes it into the upper Hyundai range.
Comparing quotes from multiple insurers is typically the most effective way to find a competitive price. Choosing a lower-group model like the i10 or i20, considering a telematics policy, and increasing your voluntary excess could all help reduce your premium.
