About $1,395 a year for full coverage on a national average — within a few percent of the $1,438 average car. Insurers rate the Lincoln Navigator at an index of 97 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 Lincoln Navigator: Comprehensive — theft, weather, vandalism, animals — carries its highest loss index at 135, while Personal injury (PIP) sits at 55. Those 80 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 Navigator ranks #23 from cheapest, below the class median of 109. Against what the car is worth the bill looks different again: a 2022 Navigator sells for a median $44,950, so a year of cover costs 3.1% of the car's value. Calculated from 36 insurance-loss records and live US listing prices.
Why a Navigator 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 $1,395: Liability (BI + PD) $670 · Collision $391 · Comprehensive $167 · Other (UM / PIP) $167.

| 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 |

For the Lincoln Navigator the costliest area is Comprehensive at an index of 135, covering theft, weather, vandalism, animals — against 55 for its cheapest.

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