What drives the cost of insuring a Toyota Prius v

HLDI does not publish loss results for the Toyota Prius v, so our estimate uses the typical losses of its segment (Wagon): 0.97× average for liability, 0.95× for collision and 0.90× for comprehensive.

  • Repair and parts costs: Wagon — mainstream parts availability keeps repairs moderate.
  • Recalls & complaints: 2 NHTSA recall campaigns and 52 owner complaints across its latest three model years. Recalls don't change premiums directly, but open recalls should be fixed.

How we estimate this

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.
