Numbers Show Which Are the Most Stolen Cars in Brazil. Currently, an average of a thousand cars are taken per day by criminals in the country. Read the article and see the list.

Thefts and robberies in Brazil are something that, unfortunately, are present in the current reality. One of the criminals’ targets is cars, which are stolen and cause, in addition to huge losses, a great headache for the victim.

A survey released by the National Confederation of General Insurance, Private Pension and Life, Supplemental Health and Capitalization Companies (CNseg) showed which cars are the most stolen in Brazil.

Most Stolen Cars in Brazil

According to the survey, which takes into account the thefts and robberies recorded in Brazil during the year 2023, the criminals’ preferred car was the Volkswagen Gol. According to the report, 8,941 vehicles of the mentioned model were stolen or robbed during the year 2023. In second place is the Fiat Uno, with 6,865 recorded incidents.

According to the study, other famous cars appear on the list, such as the Chevrolet Onix, Hyundai HB20 and Toyota Hilux. See the list:

  • Volkswagen Gol: 8,941;
  • Fiat Uno: 6,865;
  • Chevrolet Onix: 4,736;
  • Chevrolet Corsa: 4,399;
  • Ford Ka: 3,413;
  • Hyundai HB20: 3,084;
  • Fiat Siena: 3,554;
  • Fiat Strada: 2,30;
  • Toyota Hilux: 2,191.

Reason Why Models Are Among the Most Targeted

The survey indicates that the predominant position of Volkswagen in the ranking of the most stolen vehicles is due to a basic reason: the strength of the brand, which today is a reference when it comes to powerful engines and a wide variety of models in circulation.

“This large number of units creates a parallel market for replacement parts. But of course: the best-selling cars are among the most stolen and robbed,” says the survey. In this sense, the leadership position of the Volkswagen Gol is due to the fact that the model is one of the most popular in the national market.

This ends up making life easier for criminals, who often steal vehicles to sell items and parts from these cars. Since the Gol is popular, there is a significant ease in commercialization. Other models on the list, such as the Chevrolet Onix, stand out for their resale ease, and utility vehicles are targeted for their durability and higher value.

Still according to the study, models like the Fiat Strada are of interest to criminals because of their transport capacity. Today, these vehicles are frequently used for transporting stolen goods and merchandise, such as agricultural products. On the other hand, the Toyota Hilux is considered a “magnet” for thieves because it is a large and expensive truck.
