STARTING OUT Five perfect starter cars for new drivers that are ‘cheap to insure’ – including Hyundai that offers ‘space and comfort’
A GROUP of car experts has picked out the best starter motors for new drivers that won’t break the bank to insure.
With car insurance premiums on the rise, it’s more important than ever for new drivers to find vehicles they can afford.
According to the experts, the average cost of a fully comprehensive policy has soared to £511, and for recently passed drivers, that number can be significantly higher.
Thankfully, used car gurus at Swansway Motor Group, a family-owned dealership brand based in Cheshire, have exclusively revealed to Sun Motors five of the cheapest motors that fall inside the lowest insurance groups.
Volkswagen Up!
The VW Up! was a city car produced by the German marque from 2011 until last year, when it was discontinued.
Incredibly popular and cheap to buy - with the lowest iteration costing as little as £8,975 from new - the Up! also offers a wide range of kit, including air conditioning, electric windows, central locking and a smartphone-based media system.It's also a great option for drivers looking for something cheap to insure, as most Up! models feature a 1.0-litre petrol engine that places them in some of the lowest insurance groups available.
The experts added: "This compact yet surprisingly spacious car offers great value, plus it's small and size and equipped with Bluetooth making it perfect for city driving."
Seat Ibiza
The evergreen Seat Ibiza "combines youthful styling with practicality", according to Swansway Motor Group.
The well-loved hatchback, which has existed in various guises since 1984, can also be a cost-effective set of wheels for new drivers if you pick the 1.0-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine.What's more, the latest generation Ibiza - first launched in 2017 - offers generous equipment levels at a price that undercuts its Volkswagen Polo sibling
