Each year, Insure.com ranks vehicles by the cost of insuring them. This
year, in what it terms a ''remarkable upset,'' the Web-based insurance
services provider said minivans are no longer the best choice in terms of
the lowest insurance rates. For 2013 models, crossovers and SUVs have taken
over. ? "The SUV is the new minivan," says Russ Rader, spokesperson for the
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which performs crash tests on
vehicles. "These are vehicles used largely by families. . They're not
getting into a lot of crashes." ? Their lack of crashes and their low repair
costs keep insurance rates down. ? On the other end of the scale,
Mercedes-Benz models accounted for eight of the 10 "most expensive vehicles
to insure." ? The $160,000 Mercedes-Benz CL600 coupe had the worst annual
insurance bill, at $3,357. That compares to $1,128 for the top ranked Ford
Edge SE.
