Direct answer

What does it cost to insure a Peugeot 2008?

Insuring a Peugeot 2008 costs roughly £747 a year on a comprehensive policy for a typical driver, based on aggregated quote data from May 2025 (Finder UK). That is modestly above the UK average of about £600–£720, but the 2008 remains one of the more affordable small SUVs to cover because most petrol trims fall in the low-to-mid teens for insurance grouping.

The 2008's cost is shaped by four things:

Insurance group. The current (2020-on) petrol range spans groups 12–24 out of 50. Entry 1.2 PureTech Active trims start at group 12; GT Premium and hybrid variants climb to 23–24. The fully electric e-2008 sits higher again, in groups 25–27.
Value and repair cost. As a compact SUV with modern driver-assistance tech, LED lighting and the digital i-Cockpit, parts and calibration after a knock cost more than a basic supermini — nudging groups up.
Security. Most 2008s ship with a Thatcham-recognised alarm and immobiliser, which helps keep grouping in check.
Performance. Higher-output 1.2 PureTech 130 and hybrid powertrains carry more group weight than the 100–110bhp base engines.

Because the 2008 spans a wide group range, trim choice matters: a base Active can be a full 12 groups cheaper to rate than a top GT Premium hybrid.

Save money

Cheapest way to insure a Peugeot 2008

Pick a lower-group trim. A 1.2 PureTech Active (group 12) is materially cheaper to rate than a GT Premium or hybrid (groups 23–24).
Compare across the whole market. Run a comparison site, then check direct-only insurers (e.g. Direct Line, NFU) separately — they are not always listed.
Pay annually. Monthly instalments add interest, often 10–20% on the total.
Increase your voluntary excess sensibly — only as much as you could afford to pay after a claim.
Build and protect no-claims discount, and add a named experienced second driver where it genuinely helps.
Consider a black box if you are young or new — it is usually the single biggest saver for the 17–24 band.
Keep it secure — overnight off-road parking and a fitted tracker can trim the premium.

FAQs

Peugeot 2008 insurance: your questions answered

What insurance group is the Peugeot 2008?

The current (2020-onwards) petrol Peugeot 2008 spans insurance groups 12 to 24 out of 50. Entry 1.2 PureTech Active trims start at group 12, while GT Premium and hybrid versions reach 23–24. The fully electric e-2008 sits higher, in groups 25–27.

Why does the Peugeot 2008 cost what it does to insure?

Its cost reflects its compact-SUV bodystyle, moderate value, and the repair/calibration cost of its driver-assistance tech and LED lighting. Standard Thatcham-recognised security keeps grouping reasonable, but higher-power and hybrid/electric powertrains push premiums up.

Which is the cheapest Peugeot 2008 trim to insure?

The 1.2 PureTech Active is the cheapest to insure, sitting at insurance group 12. Choosing it over a top GT Premium or hybrid variant (groups 23–24) can save a meaningful amount every year.

Which insurer is cheapest for a Peugeot 2008?

There is no single cheapest insurer — it changes with your postcode, age and claims history. The reliable approach is to run a comparison site such as Confused.com or MoneySuperMarket, then separately check direct-only insurers like Direct Line that don't appear on comparison panels.

Is the Peugeot 2008 cheap to insure for new or young drivers?

It is reasonable rather than cheap. A base Active in group 12 is more affordable than most rivals, but 17–24 year-olds should still expect £1,500–£2,600 a year. A black box telematics policy is usually the biggest single way to bring that down.

How much more does the electric e-2008 cost to insure?

The e-2008 sits in groups 25–27, a few groups above the petrol range, mainly because of its higher value and the specialist cost of EV battery and drivetrain repairs. The battery is warranted for eight years / 100,000 miles, and Peugeot estimates servicing is around 30% cheaper than the petrol equivalent, which can offset some running costs.

Do modifications increase Peugeot 2008 insurance?

Yes. Non-standard alloys, performance or cosmetic changes, and even some aftermarket tech can raise your premium or affect a claim. Always declare every modification — an undeclared change can invalidate your cover.

Is a black box policy worth it on a Peugeot 2008?

For younger and newer drivers, usually yes. A telematics (black box) policy prices you on your actual driving rather than age alone, and on a low-group car like the 2008 Active it can be the difference between an affordable and an unaffordable first premium.
