English term or phrase: class-leading 15E insurance group
Es geht um den neuen Jaguar XJ:

The new XJ is engineered for repairability. The unique Bolt-On-Front-End (BOFE) is designed to allow 10 mph (15 km/h) frontal impact without the car suffering structural damage. The assembly has impact-absorbing properties including extruded aluminium 'crash cans' that channel impact energy onward from the bumper beam in a controlled path. The **class-leading 15E insurance group** of the XJ6 3.0-litre V6 is made possible because of this technology.

pretty high one! :)
Explanation:
the scale is 1-20

Today all vehicles are issued with a car insurance group by the ABI (Association of British Insurers). Things that matters here are the engine size, performance and cost of the vehicle.
Until the ABI standardised the insurance grouping of vehicles, it was left to each individual insurer to group each vehicle themselves. Now all insurers use ABI groupings.

Cars such as Porsche and Ferrari are grouped 20 and a lot of the small engined Peugeot’s and Renault’s are 3 or 4.

I would just say: \"ABI Versicherungsgruppe 15E\", because it is internetional known scale...

Explanation:
Was es mit der Versicherungsklasse "15e" auf sich hat, wurde bereits sehr gut erklärt. Es wurde hinsichtlich der Übersetzung aber nicht angedeutet, warum das Automobil in diese Klasse eingeordnet wird und welche Konsequenzen dies für den Käufer hat. MMn kann es sich hier nur darum handeln, dass das Fahrzeug auf Grund der revolutionären Technik eben verglichen mit den Konkurrenten in eine günstige Prämienklasse fällt. Zur Übersetzung von "class-leading" also etwa: "Diese Technik lässt den neuen Jaguar in die für seine Fahrzeugklasse einmalig (o.ä.) günstige ABI-Versicherungsklasse 15e fallen"
