Believe it or not, last year, Canadian drivers enjoyed a bit of a reprieve at the pumps. The average price of regular fuel in Canada in 2019 was lower than it was in 2018. Who knows what 2020 will hold? You could find you’re paying even more, as these estimates are based on last year’s average prices.

Let’s Talk About Auto Insurance for Your New SUV

While gas prices are usually uniform between stations in your neighbourhood, the same is not true for your insurance. Insurance rates vary considerably between providers.

If a particular SUV checks off all the right boxes on your list and no other vehicle will do, compare quotes at Kanetix.ca to ensure you are getting the best price for your coverage.

On the other hand, if you’ve narrowed down your choices but are still undecided, it’s simple to see which SUV will cost you less in insurance. You can easily compare quotes for each vehicle on your shortlist. All you have to do is enter your information in once, view the quotes, and modify your vehicle selection for a new quote. In a matter of minutes, you’ll be able to see how rates differ based on the vehicle you choose.

* Annual estimated fuel cost is based on driving 20,000 km per year—a realistic distance for the vast majority of Canadians—at fuel prices that are estimated to be $1.21/L for regular, $1.41/L for premium, and $1.23/L for diesel. This information comes from Natural Resources Canada's Fuel Ratings Tool. It does not include the costs associated with driving a plug-in hybrid electric model or battery electric vehicle or vehicles that run on an ethanol-gasoline blend (E85). Keep in mind that consumption varies within a model due to options chosen when the car is purchased, as well as how you drive, traffic, and road conditions.
