LOS ANGELES, July 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Specific sedan models are once again some of the most affordable vehicles to purchase and own, according to Mercury Insurance (NYSE: MCY), a leading auto insurer in California. Announced today, Mercury has compiled a list of the most affordable new sedans to insure. This list was created with the goal of helping budget-conscious consumers find a vehicle that will save them money on insurance.

Factors contributing to insurance costs include claims on similar vehicles, costs to repair and vehicle safety records. Mercury's research and development team examined 2024 model year (MY) sedans that are available at car dealerships today to compile this list^¹.

"One of the most important aspects when researching your ideal vehicle is to consider the total cost of ownership, in which insurance plays an important part," said Chong Gao, Director of Product Management R&D for Mercury Insurance. "Plenty of vehicles are known to have lower repair costs, which means they could also cost less to insure. Mercury has put together this list to help savvy consumers know where the best savings can be found."

The top 10 list for new sedans, beginning with the most affordable make and model to insure is:

Chevrolet Spark
VW Golf
Hyundai Accent
