No greater than the Aero platform, I'd have thought....
I pay £560 for the Plus 8, based on an agreed value of £69,000 and 5000 miles a year, with me only as the driver.
A new Plus Six will be more, because of the value, a new Plus Four a bit less.


That's logical Peter - but since when did insurance underwriters put logic above claims data as it emerges?

I suspect the new CX chassis cars will have a worse initial claims history than the Aero-chassis cars due to the subtly different ownership demographic - the "I always promised myself one of these" buyers who find they are unwittingly sitting in the most powerful thing they've ever driven, compared with (and I generalise) an Aero owner who probably has more powerful toys in the stable, or has done in the past.
