Mercedes GLA

From insurance group 22 for used examples
For a small SUV, the Mercedes GLA offers lots of space, making it a great, slightly more luxurious rival to the impressive Mini Countryman and Volvo XC40.
It has the same fantastic interior styling shared across the Mercedes range, which means you get an eight-inch touchscreen and plenty of leather.
It’s also a fairly affordable small SUV to insure, sitting between groups 22 and 37 for used GLAs. The most affordable would be the Sport Edition trim.

You can have it in either coupé or shooting brake (estate) form, which gives you two different options when picking your next car.
Insurance groups-wise, it sits between 22 and 39 if you get a used one, and the cheapest is the Sport Edition trim.

Mercedes GLB

From insurance group 24 for used examples
The Mercedes GLB is a boxy, small SUV with a posh cabin that can seat up to seven people – the perfect car for family life if you don’t want a massive SUV.
With all seven seats in place, you do lose some boot space, but fold the third row away, and you unlock 570 litres in total.
Insurance costs are kept low too, with used Mercedes GLBs sitting between groups 24 and 35. The best value one is the Sport trim.
Mercedes C-Class

From insurance group 33 for used examples

You can pick from a range of engines including petrol, diesel and hybrid, giving you plenty of options.
Plus, insurance costs are lower than its larger E-Class sibling. A used C-Class should sit between groups 33 and 45, with the most affordable trim being the Sport.
