About $1,230 a year for full coverage on a national average — 14% less than the $1,438 average car. Insurers rate the Buick Envision at an index of 86 where 100 is a typical vehicle, based on how often and how expensively these cars actually generate claims (latest data covers 2022-2024).
The premium isn't spread evenly. Medical payments — medical bills for you and passengers — carries this car's highest loss index at 105, while Comprehensive sits at 68. That gap is the real reason behind the price, and it's the part a quote form never shows you. Among 80 luxury suvs we hold data for, the Envision ranks #12 from cheapest, below the class median of 109. Against what the car is worth the bill looks different again: a 2023 Envision sells for a median $26,124, so a year of cover costs 4.7% of the car's value. Over 8 generations of data the index has climbed from 80 (2015-2017) to 86 (2022-2024). Calculated from 16 insurance-loss records and live US listing prices.
Why a Envision costs what it does
Insurers don't price a car with one number — they track losses separately for each kind of cover. An index of 100 is the average vehicle, so anything above means this model generates costlier claims of that type:
Read it as «where the money goes». A high Collision figure means these cars are expensive to repair after a crash; a high Comprehensive figure points at theft, weather and vandalism instead. Estimated annual split at $1,230: Liability (BI + PD) $590 · Collision $344 · Comprehensive $148 · Other (UM / PIP) $148.

More on the Buick Envision
Buick Envision insurance — frequently asked
How much is insurance for a Buick Envision?
About $1,230 a year for full coverage at the national average, versus $1,438 for a typical car. That's the model's insurance-loss index of 86 applied to the US average premium.
Why is the Envision expensive or cheap to insure?
Its costliest area is Medical payments (index 105), which covers medical bills for you and passengers. Insurers set premiums from claim history like this, not from the sticker price.
Is the Envision cheaper to insure than rivals?
It ranks #12 of 80 in the luxury suvs class, where the median index is 109 against this car's 86. Cheaper rivals are listed in the chart above.
Is that a lot relative to the car's value?
A year of cover is 4.7% of what a 2023 Envision sells for (a median $26,124). Cheap cars often show a higher percentage even when the dollar premium is lower.
Does its safety rating lower the premium?
Not directly. The Envision holds 5 stars from NHTSA, but crash-test performance and repair cost are priced separately — a car can protect occupants well and still be costly to fix.
Where does this data come from?
Insurance-loss indices published for real vehicles, combined with NAIC state average premiums. It's claim history, not a quote engine — so it shows what these cars actually cost insurers rather than what one company would offer you.
Will my own quote match this?
Treat it as a baseline for the car itself. Your figure also moves with age, driving record, deductible, mileage and ZIP code — the same Envision can differ by hundreds between two drivers.
