BEV insurance

[Diderot]

My XC40 P8 arrives mid July so just getting some insurance quotes together The lowest I've had so far is £195 which seems a bit bonkers (not complaining mind) because our X3 35d was £388. Are BEVs generally cheaper to insure in your experience?

Maybe it's in recognition of the fact that if it does get nicked the thieves aren't going to get very far in it.

I don’t know which specific model you have but it could just be as simple as being in a lower insurance group. Your BMW is in group 40 and your Volvo starts at group 32.

It's the Plus - so mid range of the 3 spec levels. All the same BHP and performance. And yes that would make a lot of sense.

Who is that £195 quote with out of interest?

Asking for a friend.

'Twas LV. Just did the confused.com thing. Will be interesting to see what quotes turn up once we have a delivery date etc.
