Nissan car insurance by model (UK)

What sets the price of insuring a Nissan

Insurers don't price “a Nissan”. They price one version of one model — a 2023 Qashqai Tekna, say, or a 2016 Note Acenta — and every version carries its own insurance group from the Thatcham Research and ABI Group Rating Panel. Two Nissans parked side by side can sit a long way apart on that scale, so the useful question is which model and trim you're looking at, then who's driving it and where it's kept.

For a sense of the overall market:

The average comprehensive premium people paid was £566 in Q2 2026 (ABI Motor Insurance Premium Tracker, Q2 2026); the average quoted premium was £713 in Q3 2026 (Confused.com Car Insurance Price Index, Q3 2026). A quote is the price offered and a paid premium is the price a customer bought, so the two figures measure different things.

We don't publish a single “average Nissan premium”, because nobody publishes one that means anything — a figure that blends a ten-year-old Micra with a new Ariya describes neither car. Each of our model guides below gives the typical cost for that model, with its own sources.

One model, most of the Nissans on the road

At the end of June 2026 there were 703,391 Qashqais licensed in the UK — about 40% of every Nissan on the road, and still roughly half of new Nissan registrations (42,144 in the year to June 2026). If you're insuring a Nissan, odds are it's one of these.

That's exactly why the trim matters so much here. The Qashqai on UK roads is split almost three ways: 37% petrol, 35% diesel and 28% petrol hybrid, across three generations and several trim levels from Acenta Premium up to Tekna. Those versions don't share a group: on the ones we've confirmed, the current (2021-on) Qashqai runs from group 11 for a 1.3 DiG-T Visia to 29 for an e-Power 205 Tekna+. Our Qashqai guide sets out the groups and typical premiums by version, and we've written separate guides to the Acenta Premium, N-Connecta and Tekna because people search for them by name.

The Juke is the other big one: 419,077 on the road, nearly three-quarters of them petrol. Between them the Qashqai and Juke make up almost two-thirds of all Nissans licensed in the UK.
