Mitsubishi insurance rates

How a vehicle from Mitsubishi affects insurance costs

Insurance companies determine the insurance cost for a car based on safety ratings, theft rates, replacement costs and overall damage susceptibility.

Mitsubishis do well in safety tests, which helps to lower the cost of insuring one. They also are relatively affordable cars, which means replacing or repairing them isn’t too expensive — another factor working in your favor.

Mitsubishis are common cars, so you’ll have no problem finding an insurance company that will insure your car.

Pros and cons of insuring a Mitsubishi

About the Mitsubishi brand

Mitsubishi can trace its roots all the way back to 1870, when the founder, Yataro Iwasaki, started a shipping firm. But its automotive story began In 1917, when the Mitsubishi Model A became Japan’s first series-production passenger car.

It wasn’t until 1971 that Mitsubishi sold its first car in America. And the full Mitsubishi marque wasn’t introduced in the US until 10 years later. Today, Mitsubishis are one of the most popular cars on our roadways.
