The view from the Summit
At Summit Place Kia in metro Detroit, we’re proud of the fact that we sell some of the highest-quality, affordable vehicles available in America. But as everyone knows, vehicle affordability extends beyond the initial sales price. But in addition to having an affordable retail price, another important consideration in your vehicle budget should be that of car insurance. And it turns out that Kia shines here as well, as the editors of Autobytel.com/MyRide.com have recently placed both the 2009 Kia Optima and the 2009 Kia Sportage on their list of the “Top 20 Cheapest Cars to Insure” that was released earlier this week.
Top 20 Cheapest Cars to Insure
Here is what the editors had to say about the price of car insurance:
“There are many factors that determine car insurance rates, including gender, age, driving record, ZIP Code, annual mileage and, in most states, credit scores. The factor that often trumps them all, however, is the car you drive. Common sense holds that a more expensive vehicle will cost more to insure than a cheaper one, but it’s not always that simple. A vehicle’s safety rating, accident frequency and theft rate also play a major role in determining its insurance premium. With that in mind, we asked InsWeb.com to provide a short insight into why each of the vehicles on the top 20 list have such low premiums. As an added bonus, we’ve also included if there will be any major changes to these vehicles in 2010 that might affect insurance premiums, as all of the vehicles on this list are from the 2009 model year.”
Here is how Kia fared:
Base MSRP: $17,495
NHTSA Crash Safety Ratings: 5-star frontal and side
Changes for 2010: N/A
Potential reasons for low premium: Low price, excellent crash safety
Base MSRP: $16,695
NHTSA Crash Safety Ratings: 5-star frontal and side
Changes for 2010: N/A
Potential reasons for low premium: Excellent crash safety and low price
At Summit Place Kia we sell safety and affordability
As you can see from the list, you can add safety (5-star frontal and side crash test ratings) and affordable insurance rates to the long list of why you should put Kia on your list the next time you go vehicle shopping.
