About $1,934 a year for full coverage on a national average — 34% more than the $1,438 average car. Insurers rate the Chrysler 200 at an index of 134 where 100 is a typical vehicle, based on how often and how expensively these cars actually generate claims (latest data covers 2015-2017).
The premium isn't spread evenly across the Chrysler 200: Medical payments — medical bills for you and passengers — carries its highest loss index at 162, while Collision sits at 118. Those 44 points are the real reason behind the price, and they are the part a quote form never shows you. Against what the car is worth the bill looks different again: a 2016 200 sells for a median $6,999, so a year of cover costs 27.6% of the car's value. Over 10 generations of data the index has climbed from 81 (2009-2011) to 134 (2015-2017). Worth noting: this car earns 5 stars from NHTSA and still insures above average — crash protection and repair cost are separate things, and insurers price the second one. Calculated from 13 insurance-loss records and live US listing prices.
Why a 200 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 $1,934: Liability (BI + PD) $928 · Collision $542 · Comprehensive $232 · Other (UM / PIP) $232.
How it changed by generation
Insurance-loss index of the 200 across every generation in the data. Newer isn't automatically cheaper — driver-assist systems cut crash frequency, while sensors and aluminium panels push repair bills up:
Each point averages every recorded variant of that generation. The 200 has become more expensive to insure over time (+54 points).
What a 200 costs by state
Where you park matters as much as what you drive. The 200's index applied to each state's average premium — the same car, the same cover, different postcode:
| State | 200 est. / yr | vs national |
|---|---|---|
| Florida | +39% vs US | |
| Louisiana | +38% vs US | |
| New York | +32% vs US | |
| District of Columbia | +26% vs US | |
| Georgia | +21% vs US | |
| Texas | +20% vs US | |
| Wisconsin | -30% vs US | |
| Hawaii | -31% vs US | |
| Idaho | -32% vs US | |
| North Dakota | -33% vs US | |
| Vermont | -33% vs US | |
| Maine | -36% vs US |
Six priciest and six cheapest states shown. Figures are the state's average premium scaled by the Chrysler 200's loss index of 134 — your own quote also depends on age, record, deductible and ZIP.
Chrysler 200 insurance — frequently asked
How much is insurance for a Chrysler 200?
About $1,934 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 134 applied to the US average premium.
Why is the 200 expensive or cheap to insure?
For the Chrysler 200 the costliest area is Medical payments at an index of 162, covering medical bills for you and passengers — against 118 for its cheapest. Insurers set premiums from claim history like that, not from the sticker price — which is why the Chrysler 200 lands at 134, not at what it costs new.
Is that a lot relative to the car's value?
A year of cover is 27.6% of what a 2016 200 sells for — $1,934 against a median price of $6,999. Cheap cars often show a higher percentage even when the dollar premium is lower, and at 27.6% the 200 sits on the expensive side of that trade.
Does its safety rating lower the premium?
Not directly. The 200 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 200 can differ by hundreds between two drivers.
