America's Most Stolen Cars Revealed

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The most stolen vehicles in the United States for model year 2022-4 have been revealed by new research published by the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI). Chevrolets featured heavily taking three of the top 10 positions, including first place which was occupied by the Camaro ZL1. Also in the top 10 were vehicles produced by Acura, GMC, Ram and Land Rover. By contrast the 10 least stolen vehicles were primarily electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. Newsweek contacted the Chevrolet, Acura, GMC, Ram and Land Rover press offices for comment on Thursday outside of regular office hours via email or online inquiry form. Why It Matters Some 850,708 vehicle thefts were reported in the U.S. in 2024, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, a 17 percent decrease on the previous year. FBI data showed nearly 70,000 people were arrested for motor vehicle theft in 2022, including 2,000 who were carrying a firearm when arrested. What To Know On Friday, the HLDI published its list of the most stolen vehicles from the 2022-24 model years. The figures were based on motor vehicle theft claims, with the HLDI using the value insurers pay when the same vehicle is totaled in a crash to determine if the whole vehicle was stolen. Only these cases were included in the data and not other motor vehicles thefts. The HLDI gave each car on its list a "relative frequency claim" (RFC) for theft, with the average across all vehicles included being 100.

Paul Sancya/AP The most stolen list was topped by the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, a powerful sports car, with an RFC of 3,949. This was stolen 39 times more often than the average vehicle according to the figures. It was followed by the Acura TLX 4WD and the Chevrolet Camaro with RFC's of 2,138 and 1,287 respectively. In fourth place was the Acura TLX 2WD with an RFC of 805, then the GMC Sierra 3500 crew cab 4WD with 742 and the Chevrolet Silverado 3500 crew cab 4WD on 662. The top 10 was completed by the Dodge Durango 4WD—on 592—the Land Rover Range Rover 4WD—with 540—and the Ram 1500 crew cab short-wheelbase 4WD on 524.

David Zalubowski/AP On the other side the least stolen HLDI list was primarily composed of electric and hybrid vehicles. This list was headed by the Tesla Model 3 4WD (RCF 1), the Tesla Model Y 4WD (RCF 2), the Tesla Model 3 2WD (RCF 3), the Toyota RAV4 Prime 4WD (RCF 5) and the Tesla Model S 4WD (also RCF 5). The HLDI noted modern vehicles can be stolen using cloned versions of the owner's key fob and noted media reports that Chevrolet vehicles have seemingly been impacted by a technical glitch that makes this easier. According to FBI crime data, during the 2019-2023 period, the highest proportion of motor vehicle thefts were reported in Colorado, with 66.43 monthly per 100,000 citizens. This was followed by New Mexico and Washington in second and third place, with 42.05 and 41.48 monthly motor vehicle thefts per 100,000 people, respectively.

The Tesla Model 3 4WD had the lowest relative frequency claim theft rate according to the data. More Allison Dinner/GETTY What People Are Saying HLDI Chief Insurance Operations Officer Matt Moore said: "Muscle cars have often topped this list, as thieves are attracted to vehicles with high horsepower. That also helps explain why the more expensive, more powerful ZL1 is stolen so much more often than the standard Camaro." Referring to Camaro's on the list, he added: "We expect powerful and high-value vehicles to be targeted, and these models check both those boxes. But it stood out to us that Camaros that were nearly 10 years old had such high claim frequencies."

Stellantis warns of $2.7 billion loss for 1st half of 2025 due to tariffs and some big charges

(AP Photo/David Zalubowski, File) By MICHELLE CHAPMAN Stellantis, the maker of Jeep and Ram vehicles, says its preliminary estimates show a 2.3 billion euros ($2.68 billion) net loss in the first half of the year due to U.S. tariffs and some hefty charges. The automaker anticipates an impact of about 300 million euros for net tariffs incurred, and also expects planned production losses related to implementing its response plan. The automaker provided preliminary financial figures on Monday after suspending financial guidance in April due to Trump's tariffs. It also halted production at plants in Canada and Mexico in response to a 25% tax on imported cars, and it temporarily laid off 900 workers at plants in Michigan and Indiana. Stellantis expects approximately 3.3 billion euros ($3.84 billion) of pretax net charges mostly related to program cancellation costs and platform impairments, restructuring and the net impact of costs related to emission standards. Automakers have been penalized if the average fuel economy of their annual fleet of vehicle production exceeds a certain level. Antonio Filosa took over as CEO two months ago after Carlos Tavares resigned under pressure last year. Stellantis, which was created from the 2021 merger of France's PSA Peugeot with Italian-U.S. carmaker Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, is the world's fourth-largest car manufacturer. It is based in the Netherlands. Stellantis will release its financial results for the first half of the year on July 29. President Donald Trump signed executive orders in April to relax some of his 25% tariffs on automobiles and auto parts, a significant reversal as the import taxes threatened to hurt domestic manufacturers. Automakers and independent analyses have indicated that the tariffs could raise prices, reduce sales and make U.S. production less competitive worldwide. Trump portrayed the changes as a bridge toward automakers moving more production into the United States. The tariffs ordered by Trump are hitting the entire auto sector, which sends vehicles and parts across the northern and southern borders of the U.S. repeatedly as they are assembled. The Center for Automative Research says that a uniform 25% tariff on all trading partners would have an increased cost of $107.7 billion to all U.S. automakers and an increased cost of $41.9 billion for the Big Three automakers in Detroit, Stellantis, General Motors and Ford. In May General Motors lowered its profit expectations for the year as the carmaker braced for a potential impact from auto tariffs as high as $5 billion in 2025. The Detroit automaker said at the time that it anticipated full-year adjusted earnings before interest and taxes in a range of $10 billion to $12.5 billion. The guidance includes a current tariff exposure of $4 billion to $5 billion. That same month, Ford Motor said that it expects to take a $1.5 billion hit to its operating profit from tariffs this year and was withdrawing its full-year financial guidance due to the uncertainty created by the Trump administration's evolving trade policy. Ford and Tesla are expected to see a smaller impact from tariffs than GM and other automakers because they assemble more of their cars in the U.S. Still, what impact they do see won't be insignificant. © Copyright 2025 The Associated Press.
