A rebound in the economy after 2020 saw an increase in all aspects of consumer spending, including the automotive industry where the demand for luxury vehicles is at an all-time high. While sales of automobiles priced under forty thousand dollars saw a decline, sales of those priced at seventy thousand dollars or more saw a significant growth1.
“For some drivers, owning a vehicle is a passion and not just a necessity,” said Chong Gao, Mercury Insurance Director of Product Management R&D. “Luxury vehicles offer greater performance and top-notch engineering, which can result in higher insurance costs.”
Not only do luxury cars provide high-end comfort and performance capabilities, they are also equipped with lavish interiors and top of the line technology and safety features.
