I just received the insurance bill for our cars, I was surprised…
For identical coverage (COL, UM, COMP, LIAB, MED) from USAA driving 5,000mi a year for each car the insurance cost is:
2017 HYUNDAI SF SE ULT/LTD, 6 month premium 215.82
2022 VOLVO XC40 P8 A8, 6 month premium… 209.71
Update 4/9/22:
I was puzzled as to why the new EV’s insurance bill was less than a 2017 ICE vehicle worth half the value of the EV.
After going over the discounts allowed on the two vehicles, I found the difference. The EV got a new vehicle discount of $28 and an anti-theft discount of $2.50.
Which begs the question: Why does my insurance company give insurance discounts on “new” cars?
The Santa Fe actually has all the same safety stuff the Volvo has. Plus I can locate it’s position anytime with a phone app. The Volvo is supposed to have that coming.
