Most popular budget cars among car thieves 15:43

Among the cars of the budget segment, the Korean Hyundai Solaris and Kia Rio are the most susceptible to theft, they are stolen in taxi companies for car repair using weak factory protection. Andrey Kondrashov, head of the anti-theft specialist Andrey Kondrashov’s Laboratory, told socialbites.ca about this.

“The most stolen economy cars today are those used in taxi fleets. These are Kia Rio and Hyundai Solaris. In modern conditions, they are most often used as spare parts. Taxi fleets cut costs and repair cars with used spare parts,” Kondrashov told socialbites.ca.

According to him, car sharing companies also outsource cars damaged in accidents to car workshops that use used parts. In addition, Solaris and Rio itself are also very popular in the secondary market.

The interlocutor initially noted that economy cars should be well protected, as they have weak barriers for car thieves.

An additional tagged immobilizer will help prevent rapid theft, which will allow the hijacker to start the engine but turn off the engine once movement begins. Kondrashov recommended that such a device should be installed in the engine compartment together with an additional electromechanical hood lock, which prevents hacking.
