The average cost of insurance for an Acura is $166 per month or $1,992 a year. That’s right around the average insurance rate for most cars, making Acura one of the cheapest luxury car brands for insurance rates. Your exact cost will vary depending on multiple factors, including your location, your driving history, the model Acura you are purchasing and your age, among other factors.
Acura is Honda’s luxury line of vehicles. But despite it being a luxury brand, Acuras aren’t typically too expensive to insure.
Acuras are safe, reliable cars that often rate well with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which makes them more affordable to insure. They’re also on the lower price range of luxury cars, which means repairs are cheaper too.
Are there any standout Acura models?
Acura also makes the NSX, which is a sports car that’s on par with Ferrari for both road performance and maintenance/repair costs — so the NSX is going to lend itself to higher insurance rates too, even though it’s an Acura.
Sports cars in general tend to be driven aggressively, putting them at a higher risk for accidents. Additionally, they tend to cost far more to maintain and repair than lower-end models from Acura, which raises the amount of the average insurance claim for people who drive the NSX.
