Equité Association’s 2025 list of Canada’s most stolen vehicles ranks the Honda CR-V, Civic and Toyota RAV4 among the top models by number of thefts.
The Story
Auto theft may be declining, but vehicle theft remains a problem across Canada, with Équité Association reporting that the crime costs Canadians more than $1 billion in insurance claims each year.
In Canada in 2024, motor vehicle theft dropped 16% compared with previous measures cited by Équité Association. In B.C., theft-from-auto reporting was described as having fallen by 11,112 thefts when comparing 2019 and 2025, after reports were around 7,000 each year from 2021 to 2023 until the dip in 2024.
Équité Association’s 2025 ranking lists the 10 vehicles most sought after by thieves by number of thefts: Honda CR-V (2,137); Honda Civic (1,813); Toyota RAV4 (1,147); Ram 1500 Series (1,072); Ford F150 Series (1,057); Lexus RX Series (964); Chevrolet/GMC/Silverado/Sierra 1500 Series (927); Toyota Tundra (787); Jeep Wrangler (603); and Hyundai Elantra (484).
Équité Association said the list “highlight[s] that organized crime continues to capitalize on gaps in vehicle anti-theft technology,” adding that “globally serviceable vehicles, like the Honda CR-V top the list by Number of Thefts.”
The Vancouver Police Department also recommends practical steps to reduce risk, including locking the vehicle and closing the windows, removing items that could be taken from sight, and parking in well-lit and well-travelled areas.
