The previous-generation Honda CR-V is practical, stylish, and provides a good amount of performance relative to its price. Apparently, it’s also a pretty enticing target for car thieves in Canada.
According to data released by the Insurance Bureau of Canada, the Honda CR-V was the most stolen vehicle in the country in 2021 by far. A total of 4,117 thefts of the model were reported last year—beating out the second-place Lexus RX (2,202 cases) by a wide margin.
The Ford F-150 found itself in third with 1,182 reported thefts. And another Honda, this time the Civic, landed in fourth place with 768 cases. Capping off the top-five most stolen cars in the country last year is the Toyota Highlander with 748 cases.
