The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) said that certain Hyundai and Kia models were the most reported stolen vehicles in the United States last year.
Hyundai and Kia models were the most frequently stolen vehicles in 2023, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau . In 2023, the Hyundai Elantra was reported stolen 48,445 times and the Hyundai Sonata was reported stolen 42,813 times throughout the year, per NICB data. The third most stolen car last year was the Kia Optima with just over 30,00 thefts. Notably, Kia models made six of the top 10 spots on the list.
Hyundai and Kia began offering more anti-theft software upgrades to drivers in order to try and prevent the trend spread on social media. Hyundai said in a statement to FOX Business that the company is committed to taking comprehensive actions to assist customers who have been affected by the persistent thefts of certain vehicles manufactured between 2011 and 2022 that do not have push-button ignitions and engine immobilizers.
