Two large cars known for their powerful engines the Dodge Charger HEMI and the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat top the Highway Loss Data Institutes list of vehicles most likely to be stolen.
Both vehicles have claim rates for whole-vehicle theft that are more than 5 times the average for 2016-18 models, as does the Infiniti Q50, a midsize luxury sedan.
Nearly all 20 models with the highest theft rates are either vehicles with big engines, luxury vehicles or pickups.
Somewhat puzzlingly, the car that tops the list of least stolen vehicles is also a midsize luxury sedan, the two-wheel-drive BMW 3 series. It had just one claim for whole-vehicle theft in 104,901 insured vehicle years.
An insured vehicle year is one vehicle insured for one year.
