How much is Land Rover Discovery Sport insurance?

About $1,427 a year for full coverage on a national average — within a few percent of the $1,438 average car. Insurers rate the Land Rover Discovery Sport 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 Land Rover Discovery Sport: Collision — damage to your own car in a crash — carries its highest loss index at 113, while Personal injury (PIP) sits at 79. Those 34 points are the real reason behind the price, and they are the part a quote form never shows you. Among 80 luxury suvs we hold data for, the Discovery Sport ranks #30 from cheapest, below the class median of 109. Against what the car is worth the bill looks different again: a 2025 Discovery Sport sells for a median $53,893, so a year of cover costs 2.6% of the car's value. Over 9 generations of data the index has climbed from 91 (2014-2016) to 99 (2022-2024). Calculated from 9 insurance-loss records and live US listing prices.

Why a Discovery Sport 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 $1,427: Liability (BI + PD) $685 · Collision $400 · Comprehensive $171 · Other (UM / PIP) $171.

How it changed by generation

How much is insurance for a Land Rover Discovery Sport?

About $1,427 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 Discovery Sport expensive or cheap to insure?

For the Land Rover Discovery Sport the costliest area is Collision at an index of 113, covering damage to your own car in a crash — against 79 for its cheapest. Insurers set premiums from claim history like that, not from the sticker price — which is why the Land Rover Discovery Sport lands at 99, not at what it costs new.

Is the Discovery Sport cheaper to insure than rivals?

It ranks #30 of 80 in the luxury suvs class, where the median index is 109 against this car's 99. Cheaper rivals are listed in the chart above.

Is that a lot relative to the car's value?

A year of cover is 2.6% of what a 2025 Discovery Sport sells for — $1,427 against a median price of $53,893. Cheap cars often show a higher percentage even when the dollar premium is lower, and at 2.6% the Discovery Sport sits on the cheap side of it.

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 Discovery Sport can differ by hundreds between two drivers.

How we work this out

Insurance-loss indices come from published claim data for real vehicles, where 100 is the average car; we average every recorded variant of the model's latest generation (9 records for the Land Rover Discovery Sport). The dollar figure applies that index to the NAIC US average premium of $1,438 (2023); state figures use each state's own average. Prices for the value comparison are ForCar's medians of live US listings, here a 2025 Discovery Sport at $53,893. This is a baseline for the Land Rover Discovery Sport, not a personal quote.
