These were Canada’s top 10 stolen vehicles in 2023
As car theft finally decelerates in Canada after a surge in recent years, the country’s top 10 stolen vehicles for 2023 have been revealed – and they’re mostly SUVs.The Toyota Highlander topped the list, with 3,413 thefts reported, according to the non-profit Équité Association. The Highlanders most commonly stolen were 2021 models.“The Toyota Highlander is a popular model in Canada, which is globally serviceable and has a high resale value both domestically and internationally,” Équité said in news release Tuesday.“It also shares similarities with nearly all of the vehicles on the national list, where the vehicles are 2019 or newer models, and have vulnerabilities that come with keyless ignitions, particularly as these vehicles do not come equipped with anti-theft devices aligned to the ULC 338 Anti-theft Standards.”The Dodge Ram 1500 Series truck came in second place with 3,078 thefts across the country last year, followed by the Lexus RX Series, which was stolen 3,037 times.The Honda CR-V, which was ranked Canada’s top stolen vehicle for two consecutive years, was bumped down to the fourth spot with 2,988 thefts.
