Annual Running Cost Overview

Insurance Costs

Insurance is one of the biggest variables in running costs. Based on our data, the Alfa Romeo 159 comes out cheaper to insure, with an average premium of £950 per year compared to £1,330 — a difference of £380 annually.

Fuel & Energy Costs

The Alfa Romeo 159 has the lower annual fuel cost at £1,980 per year, saving £110 over the Jaguar F-pace. Fuel costs are calculated from real-world mileage data taken from DVSA MOT odometer records, using current UK pump prices per mile for each fuel type.
