What drives the cost of insuring a Audi SQ8

The strongest predictor of what insurers charge for a specific model is its claims history. HLDI publishes relative insurance losses for recent models (2022-2024), where 100 is the average of all passenger vehicles. The Audi SQ8's results put our vehicle factor at 0.91× for liability, 1.98× for collision and 2.17× for comprehensive.

We start from the state's average liability, collision and comprehensive premiums published by the NAIC, then apply a location factor (population density and commute time from the Census ACS, weather hazard scores from FEMA's National Risk Index), a vehicle factor (HLDI insurance-loss data where available, otherwise vehicle segment), and a driver-profile multiplier. Results are rounded ranges for comparison, not quotes. Read the full methodology.
