About $2,668 a year for full coverage on a national average — 86% more than the $1,438 average car. Insurers rate the Jaguar XJ8 at an index of 186 where 100 is a typical vehicle, based on how often and how expensively these cars actually generate claims (latest data covers 2007-2009).
The premium isn't spread evenly. Comprehensive — theft, weather, vandalism, animals — carries this car's highest loss index at 292, while Collision sits at 150. That gap is the real reason behind the price, and it's the part a quote form never shows you. Calculated from 4 insurance-loss records.
Why a XJ8 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 $2,668: Liability (BI + PD) $1,281 · Collision $747 · Comprehensive $320 · Other (UM / PIP) $320.
