The suffix refers to security: A '5E' should be more expensive than a group 5 car as it's effectively a group 6 vehicle with better security;

Suffix (A, D, E, U, P, G)

A = Meets security requirement for this group.

D = Does not meet the security requirement for a car of this type and the group rating has therefore been increased (e.g. a group 9 car where the security requirement is not up to Thatcham’s minimum standard for that group will be listed as a 10D).

E = Exceeds security requirement for a car of this type and the group rating has therefore been reduced (e.g. a group 9 car where the security requirement exceeds Thatcham’s minimum standard for that group will be listed as an 8E).

(It will be seen from the above that the level of security on a vehicle could result in a two group differential between otherwise identical models.)

P = Provisional - This is used in cases where the data for group rating was incomplete at time of launch.

U = Cases where the level of security for the model concerned is regarded as Unacceptable. This does not mean that the car will be uninsurable but consumers should be aware that individual insurers may insist on the security being upgraded before providing cover.

G = Import - Insurance Group Ratings are currently only allocated to vehicles built for the UK market, although ABI data will list vehicles that are classed as imports.
