How your car’s trim affects insurance rates in New Jersey

Insurance rates often vary based on your car’s trim. Companies consider the vehicle’s value, cost of repairs, safety equipment and theft risk. Premium trims with upgraded technology or more powerful engines usually mean higher premiums due to their higher replacement and repair costs.

For example, in New Jersey, full coverage car insurance for a 2023 Honda Accord LX costs $4,156 a year, while the higher-end Accord EX-L trim costs $3,546 annually – a difference of $610 per year.
