These are the 10 most-stolen cars in America -- and Dodge owners should be alarmed.
Or so says the new Highway Loss Data Institute list of vehicles that are most and least likely to be stolen, drawn from analyzing whole-vehicle theft claim rates for 2016-2018 model cars.
So Tesla TSLA, -3.08% drivers can breathe a sigh of relief, as Model S and Model X were the second and third least-stolen models with only 11 and 12 claims, respectively, behind the BMW BMWYY, -0.20% BMW, +0.99% 3-series 4-door luxury sedan, which had only four claims. The HDLI has previously reported that electric vehicles have lower theft claim rates than comparable cars. The authors noted this may be because electric vehicles tend to be parked in garages or close to a house in order to be near a power supply, leaving them less exposed to theft.
Powerful cars and pickup trucks running on gasoline were among the most stolen vehicles, with two Dodge cars topping the list. The Dodge Charger HEMI and the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, both large cars packing powerful engines, had theft claim rates five times the average for all other 2016-2018 car models, as did the Nissan-owned NSANY, +0.85% 7201, -0.20% Infiniti Q50, a midsize luxury sedan.
“The models most likely to be stolen tend to be powerful, pricey or pickups, but vehicle theft is also a crime of opportunity,” Matt Moore, HLDI’s senior vice president, said in the report. “Better security features on all vehicles would be the best way to address the problem.”These are the 10 models with the least whole-vehicle theft claims:
