Kia Sportage insurance groups and tax bands
Insurers look at a lot of information before giving you a quote. This is likely to include a combination of factors about both yourself and the car you’d like covered, and may include the vehicle’s insurance group. Insurance groups are bandings from 1-50 that reflect the costs and risks associated with a particular model, helping estimate the cost of any potential claims.
There’s also a banding system in use to calculate your Vehicle Excise Duty. This tax is owed each year on any car driven or parked on UK roads, and the system ensures that vehicles which emit the most CO2 pay the most.
