The table above does a good job illustrating the fact that the more expensive Grand Cherokee models have more expensive car insurance rates. In general, anytime the cost of a vehicle increases with added options or packages, it’s going to bump up the cost of insurance.
The insurance cost range of $304 from the cheapest to most expensive Grand Cherokee model is a pretty large range for a single vehicle model. But that variation should reinforce the importance of getting actual insurance quotes for your vehicle before making a purchasing decision.
How much is insurance on a used Grand Cherokee?
In most cases, insurance cost on a used model will cost less than buying new. For example, when comparing insurance rates for a new 2022 model to a used 2017 model, the 2017 Grand Cherokee will cost around $274 less per year. A 2013 model will cost around $570 less per year than insuring new.

Car insurance tends to be more expensive when the value of the vehicle is higher. As a Grand Cherokee ages, it has a lower Actual Cash Value (ACV), which simply means your insurance company will pay less if the vehicle is totaled in an accident or weather-related incident. This lower ACV results in cheaper insurance rates for you.
The table below demonstrates how insurance rates are generally cheaper for older Grand Cherokee models, and also how rates drop for more mature drivers.
Model Year | Driver Age 20 | Age 30 | Age 40 | Age 50 | Age 60 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
2022 | $3,346 | $1,774 | $1,680 | $1,530 | $1,502 |
2021 | $3,322 | $1,758 | $1,664 | $1,516 | $1,488 |
2020 | $3,262 | $1,722 | $1,632 | $1,488 | $1,462 |
2019 | $3,036 | $1,592 | $1,514 | $1,382 | $1,358 |
2018 | $2,908 | $1,524 | $1,450 | $1,324 | $1,300 |
2017 | $2,820 | $1,474 | $1,406 | $1,284 | $1,262 |
2016 | $2,562 | $1,346 | $1,284 | $1,172 | $1,152 |
2015 | $2,666 | $1,394 | $1,334 | $1,218 | $1,194 |
2014 | $2,574 | $1,344 | $1,288 | $1,176 | $1,154 |
2013 | $2,204 | $1,156 | $1,110 | $1,014 | $996 |
The exception to the generality that car insurance rates increase with each new model year would be if a new model arrives at the dealership with enough new safety features that the liability rates drop enough to offset the higher physical damage rates due to the higher ACV for the newer model year.
It often takes a year or two to collect enough real-world data to make rate adjustments for improvements or detriments to vehicle safety. Simulations and crash test dummies cannot predict or take the place of personal injury data extracted from actual claims and accidents.
