The Toyota Aqua has held onto its title for the third year in a row.
The hatchback is New Zealand’s most stolen car, making up 8% of all stolen vehicle claims in 2024.
New figures released by AMI today show the company received almost 12,000 vehicle claims last year, including those related to attempted vehicle theft.
Driven Deputy Editor David Linklater told Ryan Bridge that it’s likely down to numbers.
He says that they’re a hugely popular used import, so there’s tens of thousands of them on the road.
Linklater says they’re quite anonymous, very familiar cars that aren’t really noticed on the street.
