What car would you recommend with low insurance costs?

I own a 2023 Lexus NX450H which was stolen and recovered. I have had a Ghost11 imobiliser attached plus security cameras but my insurance costs have rocketed to round £2000 pa plus most not wanting to offer sensible quotes. I love the build quality and PHEV engine but am seriously considering changing to another car with lower insurance. I could go for something a little smaller but needs to be a SUV. Any suggestions on what I could consider.

You could consider a Hyundai Tucson or the related Kia Sportage. These are in a much more premium-feeling proposition than you might expect, and the plug-in hybrid version sits in a much lower insurance group than the Lexus.
