What the numbers say

The premium isn't spread evenly. Collision — damage to your own car in a crash — carries this car's highest loss index at 116, while Personal injury (PIP) sits at 70. That gap is the real reason behind the price, and it's the part a quote form never shows you. Among 78 luxury cars we hold data for, the S60 ranks #10 from cheapest, below the class median of 138. Over 17 generations of data the index has fallen from 106 (2004-2006) to 99 (2022-2024). Calculated from 44 insurance-loss records.

Why a S60 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.

More on the Volvo S60

Volvo S60 insurance — frequently asked

How much is insurance for a Volvo S60?

About $1,426 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 S60 expensive or cheap to insure?

Its costliest area is Collision (index 116), which covers damage to your own car in a crash. Insurers set premiums from claim history like this, not from the sticker price.

Is the S60 cheaper to insure than rivals?

It ranks #10 of 78 in the luxury cars class, where the median index is 138 against this car's 99. Cheaper rivals are listed in the chart above.

Does its safety rating lower the premium?

Not directly. The S60 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 S60 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 (44 records for the Volvo S60). 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. This is a baseline for the vehicle, not a personal quote. Last updated Jul 2026. Reviewed by , founder of ForCar.
