About $1,287 a year for full coverage on a national average — 11% less than the $1,438 average car. Insurers rate the Toyota Grand Highlander at an index of 89 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. Personal injury (PIP) — no-fault injury cover in some states — carries this car's highest loss index at 110, while Property damage sits at 63. That gap is the real reason behind the price, and it's the part a quote form never shows you. Among 78 suvs we hold data for, the Grand Highlander ranks #30 from cheapest, below the class median of 94. Against what the car is worth the bill looks different again: a 2025 Grand Highlander sells for a median $42,998, so a year of cover costs 3% of the car's value. Calculated from 3 insurance-loss records and live US listing prices.
Why a Grand Highlander 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 $1,287: Liability (BI + PD) $618 · Collision $360 · Comprehensive $154 · Other (UM / PIP) $154.

Why is the Grand Highlander expensive or cheap to insure?

Not directly. The Grand Highlander 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 Grand Highlander can differ by hundreds between two drivers.
