Top 10: Volkswagen vans with the lowest insurance groups

2

Volkswagen Caddy panel van (2010-2015)

Insurance Group 5E

The conventional panel van version of the 2010 Caddy also kicks off in insurance group 5E. As with the Kombi, that group limits buyers to the 102PS 1.6-litre TDI diesel model, though the panel van is also available with a lower-powered 75PS version of the same engine, which occupies the same 5E group. There’s a wide choice of trim levels including Bluemotion, Trendline and Highline, again in the same insurance group, while the panel vans typically do not exceed group 7E.

Volkswagen T5 Transporter crew van (2003-2015)

Insurance Group 6E

The crew van and minibus versions of the last generation Transporter start one insurance group higher than its panel van equivalent, at group 6E. Van buyers who need seats but want their premiums as low as possible have a much wider choice than they do with the panel van, though, as both short and long wheelbase versions are available in group 6E, along with a wider choice of power outputs from the 2.0-litre TDI diesel engine, DSG automatic transmission and four-wheel drive.

Volkswagen T6 Transporter panel van (2015-)

Insurance Group 6

Like it’s smaller Caddy sibling, Volkswagen’s current best-seller, the T6 Transporter, kicks off in insurance group six. The good news is that you get plenty of choice of models in this insurance group; both panel and window vans are available, with medium and high roofs, while engines span everything from the basic 84PS version of the 2.0-litre TDI engine, to our favourite – the 102PS variant – to the potent 204PS unit. A DSG automatic transmission, four-wheel drive and multiple trim levels can also be had with T6 Transporters in group six.

Volkswagen Crafter (2017-)

Insurance Group 7E

Given its size, Volkswagen's largest current production van starts off in a palatable insurance group: 7E. That gets you a short-wheelbase model with a punchy 140PS 2.0-litre TDI engine, though you’ll have to pay more to cover larger versions, as the medium and long-wheelbase bodies start in group 9E. It may be a big van, but the Crafter is still good to drive, comfortable and refined.

Volkswagen Crafter (2006-2017)

Insurance Group 7E

The previous generation of Volkswagen's large van starts in insurance group 7E, but that does limit you to the basic 88PS short wheelbase model, which can struggle with a full load on board. A far broader choice is available between groups 8E and 17, which opens up a vast range of TDI diesel engines and different body types such as high roofs and window vans.
