Insure.com commissioned Quadrant Information Services to calculate average auto insurance rates for vehicles from 2006 to 2023.

Our hypothetical driver is a 40-year-old male who commutes 12 miles to work each day, with policy limits of 100/300/50 ($100,000 for injury liability for one person, $300,000 for all injuries and $50,000 for property damage in an accident) and a $500 deductible on collision and comprehensive coverage.

Rates for vehicles up until 2023 includes uninsured motorist coverage (since some states require it, we do it for all) and PIP or Medical Payments, if it is required by state law. This hypothetical driver has a clean record and good credit.

For liability 100/300 is rates the same hypothetical driver but with liability limits of 100/300/50, uninsured/underinsured motorist in matching amounts and PIP or MedPay, if required by state. We recommend limits this high, even if you have only liability coverage. A state-minimum policy includes only the basic state liability limits and any other state-required coverages, such as uninsured motorist or PIP.

Averages were calculated using data from six large carriers, such as Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, Nationwide, Progressive and State Farm. Rates were averaged across multiple ZIP codes and insurance companies. Average rates are for comparative purposes; your rate will depend on your personal factors.

How much does your vehicle model affect car insurance rates in New Mexico?

Car insurance rates in New Mexico vary widely based on your vehicle’s make and model. Insurance companies consider multiple factors, including the make and model of your car, to determine premiums.

A full coverage car insurance policy in New Mexico for a Honda Accord LX costs $2,438 annually, whereas a Honda CR-V costs $1,994 to insure in New Mexico – a difference of $444.

Does your car’s model year affect insurance rates in New Mexico?

In New Mexico, as in most states, your car’s model year can impact your insurance rate. For example, the average annual premium for a 2023 Honda Accord LX is $3,363, compared to $2,419 for the 2024 model.

Quick tip: Know your state’s minimum insurance requirements before you buy

Car insurance requirements vary by state. In New Mexico, you must have at least the minimum liability coverage to drive legally. This typically includes:

  • Bodily injury liability per person and per accident
  • Property damage liability

These limits are just the minimum required by law-many drivers opt for higher coverage to ensure better financial protection after an accident. Driving without the required coverage in New Mexico can result in fines, license suspension or vehicle impoundment.

Auto insurance premiums vary significantly from city to city, so drivers need to be sure they’re getting the best deal. Insure.com has done the research for you. Get more information on auto insurance rates by city below.

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

Your car’s trim is one of the factors insurers use to calculate premiums in New Mexico. Insurance companies take into account the car’s value, safety features, repair expenses and theft rates. As a result, trims with luxury features or powerful engines tend to be more costly to insure.

Full coverage car insurance for a 2023 Honda Accord LX in New Mexico is about $3,363 per year. On the other hand, the 2023 Honda Accord EX-L trim costs $3,057, which is $306 annually.

Higher-end trims often come with expensive features like luxury interiors or advanced infotainment systems, which make the vehicle more costly to replace. Performance trims with bigger engines may also carry higher premiums due to the added risk associated with faster driving.
