Consumers’ preferences are leaning towards SUVs and crossovers for many reasons, including styling, cargo and seating capacity, and safety benefits.


LOS ANGELES, Calif. (PRWEB)

SUV and crossover sales have been propelled by historically low gas prices and constantly changing tastes – consumers are purchasing a larger proportion of sport utility vehicles and crossovers than sedans or sports cars. The advantages of ownership include a higher ride, which leads to increased visibility on the road, more cargo space and seating capacity, and increased performance, but one key item consumers need to factor in is the cost to insure these larger vehicles. Mercury Insurance (NYSE: MCY) has put together lists of the most affordable SUVs and crossovers to insure.

Mercury’s research and development team examined 2019 and 2020 model year (MY) sport utility vehicles and crossovers available at car dealerships today to compile these lists, which were created based on Mercury’s price for full coverage – liability, comprehensive and collision – in California.

“Consumers’ preferences are leaning towards SUVs and crossovers for many reasons, including styling, cargo and seating capacity, and safety benefits. As auto manufacturers respond to this trend by focusing on the production of these types of vehicles, consumers have many more options to choose from,” said Chong Gao, director of product management R&D for Mercury Insurance. “We put together these lists as a guide for consumers to consider insurance cost as an important factor in purchasing a vehicle.”
