FOSTER CITY, Calif., April 22,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Savvy shoppers know to compare
prices and features when buying a new (or used) car, but also
understand that choosing auto insurance is a significant component
of the cost of car ownership. Insure.com, a comprehensive resource
for insurance information, releases its 12th annual ranking of the
most and least expensive new vehicles to insure. Each year,
Insure.com compares car insurance rates in every state for
approximately 3,000 different vehicle models.
The new report, Ranking the most expensive and cheapest cars to
insure for 2021, finds the Chrysler Voyager minivan peeling into
first place this year, with the lowest national average insurance
premium of $1,272 annually.
The top five least expensive new cars to insure in
2021
- Chrysler Voyager L: $1,272
- Honda CR-V LX: $1,285
- Mazda CX-3 Sport: $1,294
- Fiat 500X Trekking: $1,301
- Honda HR-V LX: $1,322
"SUVs and CUVs continue to dominate the list of cheapest
vehicles to insure," notes Penny
Gusner, senior consumer analyst for Insure.com. "Every
vehicle in the top 10 is in the utility category, except for the
top-place Voyager. These results support the depth of the SUV trend
that continues to dominate."
High-end luxury and sports cars tend to attract more aggressive
drivers, say experts, with cars marked by big engines and flashy
finishes speeding to the top of the most-expensive-to-insure list.
This year's most costly to insure is led by Maserati, with the top
five spots commanded by only three automakers. In a major shift, no
Mercedes models made the top 10; last year, three of its vehicles
were in the top 10.
This year's five most expensive new cars to insure
- Maserati Quattroporte S GranSport: $4,823
- Maserati Ghibli S Q4 GranSport: $4,208
- Tesla Model S Performance (Plaid): $4,143
- Tesla Model X Performance (Plaid): $4,025
- BMW M760i xDrive: $3,914
"It behooves consumers to factor insurance costs into the
overall financial figures when buying a new car," explains Gusner.
"It's critical to research and compare insurance rates because they
often vary significantly between vehicles, increasing the overall
cost for owning a car. Of course, car insurance rates are also
affected by things such as the driver's record, credit, age and
other factors."
Insure.com's car insurance comparison tool, included in the
report, allows readers to review insurance rates for nearly 3,000
new models. They can find national auto insurance premiums for 2021
vehicles and view state-specific average rates to compare costs for
up to 10 vehicles at a time.
Gusner is available to comment on this study.
