About $1,420 a year for full coverage on a national average — within a few percent of the $1,438 average car. Insurers rate the Cadillac CT5 at an index of 99 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 across the Cadillac CT5: Collision — damage to your own car in a crash — carries its highest loss index at 119, while Property damage sits at 74. Those 45 points are the real reason behind the price, and they are the part a quote form never shows you. Among 78 luxury cars we hold data for, the CT5 ranks #9 from cheapest, below the class median of 138. Against what the car is worth the bill looks different again: a 2024 CT5 sells for a median $40,318, so a year of cover costs 3.5% of the car's value. Over 5 generations of data the index has fallen from 116 (2018-2020) to 99 (2022-2024). Calculated from 16 insurance-loss records and live US listing prices.
Why a CT5 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 $1,420: Liability (BI + PD) $682 · Collision $398 · Comprehensive $170 · Other (UM / PIP) $170.

How much is insurance for a Cadillac CT5?
About $1,420 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 99 applied to the US average premium.
Why is the CT5 expensive or cheap to insure?
For the Cadillac CT5 the costliest area is Collision at an index of 119, covering damage to your own car in a crash — against 74 for its cheapest. Insurers set premiums from claim history like that, not from the sticker price — which is why the Cadillac CT5 lands at 99, not at what it costs new.
Is the CT5 cheaper to insure than rivals?
It ranks #9 of 78 in the luxury cars class, where the median index is 138 against this car's 99. Cheaper rivals are listed in the chart above.
Is that a lot relative to the car's value?

Not directly. The CT5 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 CT5 can differ by hundreds between two drivers.
