Daihatsu insurance quotes and insurance groups

Insurance group ratings take into account performance, security, damage and parts costs, new car values, availability of body shells and repair costs and times. What you'll typically find is that cars in lower insurance groups cost less to insure, whilst cars in higher insurance groups attract a higher premium - usually because they are high performance models or have high repair or replacement costs.

For over 100 years Daihatsu has been devoted to its company ethos of "creating small cars that are loved by people the world over". Daihatsu has focused on creating safe, environmentally friendly small cars - a goal they have achieved with great success.

The cars they produce go through a rigorous safety testing process which stands up to the strictest Japanese and European collision safety standards. In fact Daihatsu, using their next generation R&D facilities, has achieved some remarkable feats in accident prevention including the Vehicle Stability Control System (which prevents wheel slippage when accelerating) and the Advanced Safety Vehicle System (which uses radar cruise control to help prevent collisions).

In Japan, there are now heavy laws on companies being environmentally friendly, a ruling that has been wholeheartedly taken on board by Daihatsu. The cars themselves (although they have the inherent advantage of producing less CO2 due to their engine size) benefit from developing technologies such as the "Intelligent Catalyst" and "Catalyst Early Activation System". The manufacturing plants are also becoming as environmentally friendly as possible by constantly looking for methods to reduce carbon emissions in a bid to not only comply with regional and international regulations but to exceed them.
