The next table shows average yearly and 6-month Chevrolet Equinox car insurance rates, including a monthly budget amount, for each 2022 model year trim level.

As you should be able to tell by the table above, as the MSRP of an Equinox increases with higher-end trim levels and options, the cost of car insurance also increases.

Vehicles that cost more also have higher “actual cash value” or ACV, which simply means that if the vehicle is totaled in an accident or other event (fire, hail, flood, etc.), your car insurance company will have to pay more to replace it. And more money out of the car insurance company’s pocket means more money out of your pocket in the form of more expensive car insurance rates.
