Experts analyzed the statistics of car thefts in Russia for the first nine months of 2022. According to AlfaStrakhovanie, the Hyundai Santa Fe crossover became the most stolen model in Russia: 12% of the total number of stolen cars in the country is this model. In second place is Mitsubishi Outlander, its share is 7%. Further down the list are four models at once, equally popular with privateers: two Kia crossovers and two Hyundai.
The share of thefts in Russia (% of the total number of thefts)
- Hyundai Santa Fe 12%
- Mitsubishi Outlander 7%
- Hyundai Crete 4%
- Hyundai Tucson 4%
- Kia Sorento 4%
- Kia Sportage 4%
- Hyundai Palisade 3%
- Hyundai Sonata 3%
- Lexus RX 3%
Hyundai Palisade, Hyundai Sonata and Lexus RX also made the top ten dangerous cars in terms of theft.
If we take the data only for Moscow, Hyundai Santa Fe was also in first place and Hyundai Tucson and Sonata in second and third place. And if we compare the statistics with last year, the number of cases has decreased, experts say.
- However, for definitive conclusions, it is worth waiting until the end of the year, because against the background of rising prices for spare parts and their shortage, a jump in the number of hijacking attempts was registered.
