The 10 Most Stolen Cars Of 2023
The Unexpected Shift In Car Theft
In a turn of events, sedans actually became the most stolen vehicle type in the U.S. last year, as per the National Insurance Car Bureau's (NICB) annual report. Apparently, a majority of the entries are (partly) due to a social media challenge. Is your car on the list?
Hyundai Elantra
In 2023, the Hyundai Elantra emerged as the most stolen car in America, suddenly taking the lead with 48,445 thefts. The "Kia Challenge" gained attention on social media and revealed flaws in some Hyundai models, which is why criminals have taken an interest in this little vehicle.

The trend showed how little effort it took to steal some cars, meaning thieves could take as many of them as they liked. But the increase in thefts clearly reflected how fast trends can spread in the digital age.
