AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/02 Report--

With the development of the times, cars have gradually become the daily needs of consumers, but vehicles are stolen from time to time. A few days ago, foreign media quoted data from the Moscow Procuratorate as saying that the most stolen car brands in Moscow are Asian brands.

According to data from the first October of this year, Toyota accounted for the highest proportion of all stolen vehicle brands with 221 times, followed by Korean brands Kia and Hyundai, with 156 and 140 respectively. Among the top ten brands, only one independent brand, VAZ, ranked fourth for 85 times. The rest were Mazda 75, Lexus 61, Ford 53, Nissan 45, BMW 39 and Renault 39 each. It can be seen that the proportion of Japanese models is the highest, and the top ten brands account for 4 brands.

If cars are easy to be stolen because of their low safety, it is worth mentioning that Mercedes-Benz became the "most popular" brand for car thieves in the region last year.

Not only in Russia, but also in China or the United States, Japanese brands are the main targets for car thieves, especially Honda and Toyota models.

According to the data of insurance theft in the United States, in addition to the local Ford, Dodge and Chevrolet brands are Honda, Toyota, Nissan and other Japanese brands, among which the local pickup truck is cheap and has a large quantity in North America, and it is also a model with a higher amount of theft. Wuling Hongguang ranks first in China, followed by Honda, Toyota and other brand models, of which Wuling Hongguang and American pickups are cheap and have a large quantity, which can be seen by occupying the position of domestic MVP sales for many years.

In fact, except for Wuling Hongguang because of its low configuration and easy to be stolen, other models are because they belong to local best-selling high value-protected models, while Honda, Toyota and other brands belong to global production and sales models. no matter which market in the world has ultra-high market holdings and value preservation rate, this is also the reason why thieves know to steal these models even if they are fully equipped with safety.

From the models on the list, we can see one thing in common, that is, "good reputation", or the best-selling local models. Keep value + easy to sell, which is also the main target of car thieves. So vehicles are easy to be stolen, and low security configuration is indeed the main reason, but it is by no means the only one. At the same time, car ownership, spare parts circulation and other factors may affect the risk of theft and robbery. As a consumer, it is more important to raise safety awareness as to whether the car has a high theft rate.
