We’ve been hearing a lot about Hyundai and Kia car thefts, as some older models lack electronic immobilizers, but as it turns out, they’re nowhere near the most frequently stolen cars in America. The Insurance Insititute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) division recently released its list of the most stolen vehicles from Model years 2020-2022, and the top models wear Dodge badges.

The Dodge Charger Hellcat models saw 25 whole-vehicle Theft Claims per 1,000 insured vehicles, which HLDI said is up from 18 for 2019-2021 models. The previously most-stolen vehicle, the Infiniti Q60, had only two thefts per 1,000 vehicles when it topped the 2017-2019 list.

The top 10 most stolen vehicles from 2020-2022 include:

·      Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat: 6,128 claims

·      Dodge Charger Hemi: 2,197

·      Infiniti Q50: 878

·      Dodge Challenger: 766

·      Land Rover Range Rover: 611

·      Kia Sportage: 479

·      Land Rover Range Rover Sport: 460

·      Kia Sportage AWD: 415

·      Honda CR-V AWD: 409

·      BMW X6: 361

In contrast, the list of least-stolen cars has models with as few as three theft claims, which was the case for the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, with three theft claims during the period. The Volvo XC90, GMC Acadia AWD, and Tesla Model X rounded out the five least-stolen models, with six, seven, and eight claims, respectively.
