Is car insurance more expensive on a BMW than a Toyota?

I'm split between a BMW X7 and a Toyota Land Cruiser. Which one has more expensive car insurance?

In general, high-end imports like BMW tend to be more expensive to insure than Toyotas—but it depends on the model and the
type of coverage
.
Car insurance companies take into account these factors when calculating rates:
  • Make and model: Reliability, safety ratings, and the cost of replacement parts vary by vehicle.
  • Your zip code: Claims rates vary by zip code.
  • Your driving history:

    get lower rates.
  • Your coverage levels: Bare minimum liability coverage is cheaper than comprehensive and collision coverage (but we do not recommend minimum coverage!).
The only way to know for sure is to
get quotes
from multiple companies for each model you mentioned. You can do this even if you don’t own the X7 or Land Cruiser.
