Cheapest Cars and Trucks to Insure

Edmunds.com has released its list of the cheapest cars and trucks to insure. The list is broken down by categories like top trucks and top coupes, among others. Rankings are based on five-year projections for all models in each class generated by the Edmunds.com data team as a part of their development of Edmunds.com’s True Cost to Own values. Each model's costs were determined based on the trim level that is the least expensive to insure.

In a press release, Edmunds.com said, "Car insurance can make up 25 percent of a household’s automotive expenses, according to Edmunds.com, the premier online resource for automotive information. Accordingly, it makes sense to take the cost of insurance into account when shopping for a new vehicle."
Warren Clarke, Edmunds.com’s Automotive Content Editor, added, “Certain models are less expensive to insure than others. Make informed choices to ensure that your car insurance costs fit your budget.”
