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 Freelander 2 starts at Group 19, while the current Range Rover reaches Group 50.
Insurance groups set by Thatcham Research and the ABI.
Land Rover models typically start at Group 19 (Freelander 2) and reach Group 50 (Range Rover and top Defender trims), so insurance costs sit firmly in the upper half of the Thatcham scale. Even the entry-level Discovery Sport starts at Group 24. There is no low-group entry point in the Land Rover range.
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. Theft risk is a known factor for Range Rover models, which could affect premiums beyond the group rating. Some insurers may require additional security measures such as approved tracking devices.
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 for prestige vehicles.
The most reliable way to find your price is to compare quotes from multiple insurers.
Based on typical Thatcham insurance group ratings, these four Land Rover models sit in the lowest group bands for the brand and may be worth shortlisting if keeping the premium down is a priority.
1. Freelander 2 (Groups 19-26)
Typically the cheapest Land Rover to insure. A discontinued compact SUV with 2.0 or 2.2-litre engines. Widely available on the used market at competitive prices.
2. Discovery Sport (Groups 24-40)
The entry to the current range starts at Group 24. Choose the base 2.0 engine and SE trim to sit at the low end of the group range.
3. Range Rover Evoque (Groups 24-41)
Starts at Group 24 for the base 1.5-litre trim. The style-focused Evoque can share a starting group with the more practical Discovery Sport.
4. Defender (Groups 27-50)
The current Defender starts at Group 27 for the base 2.0-litre trim. Higher trims and larger engines climb rapidly, so trim choice matters more here than on most models.

Get QuotesLand Rover models tend to sit in higher insurance groups than typical first cars, so premiums for new drivers may be significantly higher than for a small hatchback. The Freelander 2 (Groups 19-26) is the lowest group entry point, and could work for a new driver who needs an SUV.
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.

Seven practical steps that could help reduce your Land Rover insurance premium.
Compare quotes from multiple insurers
Prices for the same car and driver can vary between providers. Specialist insurers may offer more competitive rates for Land Rover than mainstream comparison sites.
Choose the base engine and SE trim
Higher trims and larger engines push the group rating up quickly across the Land Rover range. Base trim on the SE spec typically places you at the low end of a model's group range.
Consider a Freelander 2 or Discovery Sport
The Freelander 2 (Groups 19-26) and Discovery Sport (Groups 24-40) sit at the lower end of the Land Rover range and can be considerably cheaper to insure than a Range Rover.
Fit an approved tracker
Range Rover models are a known theft target. Fitting a Thatcham-approved tracker may be required by some insurers and could help reduce the premium on high-spec models.
Consider secure parking
Parking off-street in a garage or on a driveway typically reduces theft and damage risk, which could help lower your premium versus street parking.
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.
