    The only one who can answer that accurately is your current insurance company.

    Unlikely unless it's substantially more powerful.

    Some 1.7 can be more powerful than some 2.0

    A quick online quote using both cars will tell you

    Only the insurance can answer that question for you. I went from a 1.3 corolla to a 3 litre A6, my insurance went down 400

    I went from a 20 year old 1.6 Honda Civic Vtec, to a brand new Skoda Octavia VRS and my insurance was 25% cheaper... Believe me the Octavia is way quicker to.

    Lots of factors, OP.

    I went from a 2004 1.3 to a 2014 2.0 and my insurance came down a bit, presumably based on age/safety.
