Volvo Car Insurance Rates by Model & Year Make

When insuring your Volvo, the model you choose significantly impacts the insurance rates. Our detailed analysis below provides a comprehensive view of the insurance costs for various Volvo models from different years.

A Brief History of Volvo

The Sweden-based Volvo company finished the production of its first car on April 14th, 1927. The founders, Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larsson, made quality and safety their trademarks from the beginning, a principle that still sets Volvo apart today. 

By May 1932, Volvo had already produced 10,000 cars, and there was a high demand for a more affordable “people’s vehicle.” Thus the smaller, less expensive PV 51 model was born in 1936. 

Volvo’s production boomed after World War II with the PV444 and PV544 stylish and compact models, which helped Volvo break into the US market over the following decade. 

In 1959, Volvo pioneered a vital step in car safety when the Amazon and PV544 models began to feature three-point safety belts. Safety continued to be the leading principle of Volvo in the following years, with innovations that became universal such as rear-facing child seats, crumple zones, collapsible steering columns, and side collision protection.
