Peugeot 2008 GT insurance cost UK 2026

The Peugeot 2008 GT costs around £800 a year to insure comprehensively in the UK, sitting in insurance groups 16–23 — three to seven groups above the entry trims of one of Britain’s best-selling small SUVs. That is comfortably above the ~£600 national average, and your engine choice within the GT range moves the price more than most buyers expect.

Direct answer

What does it cost to insure a Peugeot 2008 GT?

Insuring a Peugeot 2008 GT costs roughly £800 a year on a comprehensive policy for a typical experienced driver. That figure starts from Finder UK’s £747 average across the whole 2008 range (May 2025 quote data) and adjusts for the GT’s higher group ratings: while an entry 1.2 PureTech Active is rated group 12, GT versions span groups 16–23, and the plusher GT Premium reaches group 24 (Parkers / Thatcham Research).

Engine choice sets your exact group within the GT line-up:

1.2 PureTech 130 petrol (manual or EAT8 automatic) — group 19 for most model years, with one earlier EAT8 version rated as low as group 16.
1.5 BlueHDi 110 diesel — group 17, the consistently cheapest GT to rate.
1.2 Hybrid 136 / Hybrid 145 (e-DSC6 automatic) — group 23; the Hybrid 145 GT Premium is group 24.
e-2008 GT (electric) — higher again at groups 25–27, rated with the EV range.

Three structural reasons put the GT where it sits: more power (130–145hp versus 100–110hp in lower trims), more repair-heavy equipment (full LED lighting, larger alloys, adaptive cruise radar and the 3D i-Cockpit all cost more to replace and recalibrate after a knock), and a higher list price, which raises theft and write-off exposure. For the whole range — Active, Allure and the electric e-2008 — see the full Peugeot 2008 insurance guide.

25–34	£700–£950	Around £830 for a 30-year-old on a PureTech 130 GT
35–64	£500–£700	Lowest premiums; full no-claims discount applies

Trim comparison

GT vs the other Peugeot 2008 trims

The GT’s premium over lesser trims is real but modest for experienced drivers — typically £50–£80 a year against an equivalent-engine Allure — because much of a premium is about the driver, not the car. For younger drivers the gap widens sharply, since each insurance group adds proportionally more at high base premiums.

Trim	Insurance groups (petrol/diesel)	Hybrid groups	Indicative annual premium (35–64)
Active	12–17	22	£450–£620
Allure	13–18	23	£470–£650
Allure Premium	14–18	—	£480–£660
GT	16–19	23	£500–£700
GT Premium	19–21	24	£520–£730

Pay less

Cheaper ways to run (or insure) a 2008 GT

If you want the GT look without the GT-hybrid premium, the engine bay is where the money is:

Pick the diesel or the plain petrol. The 1.5 BlueHDi 110 GT (group 17) and 1.2 PureTech 130 (group 19, some EAT8 versions group 16) rate four to seven groups below the Hybrid 136/145 (group 23) — the single biggest lever inside the GT range.
Consider Allure Premium. It keeps most of the kit buyers actually notice at groups 14–18, and its lower list price also trims theft and write-off exposure.
Skip GT Premium if insurance is tight. Groups 19–24 make it the dearest 2008 of all to rate.
Young driver? Start lower. A base 2008 Active in group 12 can cost a 19-year-old several hundred pounds a year less than a GT hybrid — details in the full Peugeot 2008 insurance guide.

Whatever version you choose, the usual levers still work on a GT:

Run quotes on two comparison sites and check direct-only insurers (e.g. Direct Line) that don’t appear on panels.
Take a telematics (black box) policy if you’re under 25 — usually the largest single saving.
Add an experienced named driver (never “front” a policy in their name — that is fraud).
Pay annually rather than monthly, set an accurate mileage, and consider a higher voluntary excess you could still afford after a claim.
Declare where the car sleeps precisely — a driveway or garage postcode rating can beat street parking.

FAQs

Peugeot 2008 GT insurance: your questions answered

What insurance group is the Peugeot 2008 GT?

The Peugeot 2008 GT spans insurance groups 16–23 out of 50. The 1.2 PureTech 130 petrol is rated group 19 for most model years (one earlier EAT8 automatic is group 16), the 1.5 BlueHDi 110 diesel is group 17, and the Hybrid 136 and Hybrid 145 versions are group 23. The GT Premium climbs to group 24.

How much does Peugeot 2008 GT insurance cost per year?

Around £800 a year comprehensive for a typical experienced driver in 2026 — roughly £50–£80 above the £747 average Finder UK reports across the whole 2008 range. Drivers aged 35–64 with full no-claims can pay £500–£700; drivers aged 17–24 should budget £1,650–£2,800.

Is the GT more expensive to insure than other Peugeot 2008 trims?

Yes, by three to seven insurance groups against the same engine in a lower trim: Active starts at group 12 and Allure at 13, while GT petrols sit at 16–19 and GT hybrids at 23. For an experienced driver that is typically £50–£80 a year; for a young driver the same gap can be several hundred pounds.

Which Peugeot 2008 GT engine is cheapest to insure?

The 1.5 BlueHDi 110 diesel, at group 17 — and if you can find one, the earlier 1.2 PureTech 130 EAT8 rated at group 16. The mainstream PureTech 130 sits at group 19, while the Hybrid 136 and 145 are the dearest GT versions to rate at group 23.

Why do the hybrid GT versions cost more to insure?

Three reasons: more power (136–145hp with electric assistance), a higher list price, and dearer repairs — the 48V battery and e-DSC6 dual-clutch transmission push up parts and labour after a collision. Together they lift the hybrid GT to group 23 versus 17–19 for the diesel and petrol.

How can a young driver make a 2008 GT affordable to insure?

Take a telematics (black box) policy, add an experienced named driver honestly, pay annually and keep the mileage estimate accurate. Even then, a GT hybrid in group 23 is a hard first car to fund — a 2008 Active in group 12 or Allure in group 13 will usually quote several hundred pounds cheaper for the same driver.

Does the GT’s extra equipment affect insurance?

Yes, but it is priced into the group rating rather than being something you declare: full LED lighting, larger alloys, adaptive cruise radar and the 3D i-Cockpit all raise repair and recalibration costs, which is a key reason the GT rates higher than an Active or Allure. Only aftermarket modifications — non-standard alloys, tints, performance parts — need declaring to your insurer.

Is the electric e-2008 GT more expensive to insure?

Usually, yes. The e-2008 sits in groups 25–27 — above every petrol, diesel or hybrid GT — because of its higher value and the specialist cost of EV battery and drivetrain repairs. Cheaper servicing and charging can claw some of that back in total running costs.
