The data covers until May of this year, and splits the losses into a total of six categories: collision, property damage, comprehensive, personal injury, medical payments and bodily injury. With each category, vehicles are then separated according to their size.<br />
<br />
Surprisingly enough, the top three vehicles with the lowest insurance losses during this reference period are all sports cars. The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/corvette">Chevrolet Corvette</a> convertible took top honors as having the lowest instance of loss, followed by the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/mx-5">Mazda Miata</a> and hardtop Chevrolet Corvette. And what about the highest losses? The top three in that category over all are the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/lancer">Mitsubishi Lancer</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/escalade">Cadillac Escalade EXT</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/tc">Scion tC</a>.<br />
<br />
The IIHS and HLDI rate vehicles on a scale where 100 points is considered average. A higher score is equated to a higher insurance loss and vice versa. Hit the gallery to see models with the highest and lowest average losses in each category.<br />
