Nissan car insurance

The cost of Nissan car insurance depends on lots of different factors. Car insurers group different models of cars into price brackets, and there are 50 of these. Cars towards the bottom end are seen as the cheapest to insure and those in the higher brackets are more expensive.

For example, the Nissan Micra is likely to fall into an insurance group around 7-11. On the other hand, the Nissan Qashqai insurance group will be between 13-21 as it’s a more valuable car and will cost more to insure.

When calculating Nissan car insurance quotes, insurers will also take into account lots of other factors. These include details about the driver, such as their age, location, profession, and driving history, as well as information about the Nissan itself including its age, value, and where it’s kept.

While every car insurance quote is unique, here we’ve picked out some examples of the cost* of Nissan car insurance, to give you an idea of how much you might pay for different models.

If it’s a Nissan Micra you're insuring, the cost of annual insurance will set you back an average £555* for the Micra Visia (80) while insuring the higher grade Micra Acenta (80) costs an average £681*.

Nissan was founded in 1911 in Japan by Masujiro Hashioto and at the time was known as the Kaishinsha Motor Car Works.

It wasn’t until 1934 that it was named the Nissan Motor Company, after several name changes.

The company started out producing several vehicles including Datsuns. During the Second World War it also made planes and trucks for the Japanese army.

In the late 1950s it began expanding across the globe and in 1958 it displayed cars at the Los Angeles Auto Show before opening a subsidiary in the US in 1960.

In 1986 a plant was built in England which by 2007 was one of the biggest in Europe, producing more than 400,000 cars a year.

In 1999 Nissan joined the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance. Within the alliance there are 450,000 employees, and one in nine cars sold worldwide is made by one of these brands.

They have 722 manufacturing plants between them and sold 737,000 electric cars between 2009 and 2018. The Nissan Leaf is the world’s best-selling electric car with more than 409,000 cars sold since its launch in 2010.

The Nissan logo, a circular design with a horizontal plate featuring the name, was inspired by its founder’s mantra: ‘If you have a strong belief, it penetrates even the sun’. In 2020 Nissan created a new logo for its cars, to represent its move into the digital age.
