Most stolen vehicles in Canada in 2025: Honda CR-V tops national list as Ontario remains auto theft hotspot

Posted November 11, 2026 11:05 am.

The Honda CR-V remains the most stolen vehicle in Canada, according to a new report that highlights how SUVs and pickup trucks continue to be prime targets for organized auto theft rings despite government and industry efforts to curb the crime.

New data released by Équité Association found the Honda CR-V ranked first among the country’s most frequently stolen vehicles in 2025, with 2,137 reported thefts among more than 550,000 insured vehicles nationwide.

While the latest figures suggest Canada’s vehicle theft crisis has begun to stabilize after reaching record levels in recent years, industry experts say thieves remain focused on high-demand models that can be quickly exported overseas, resold using fraudulent documentation or dismantled for parts.

SUVs dominate Canada’s most-stolen list

According to the report, six of the 10 most-stolen vehicles in Canada were SUVs, led by the Honda CR-V.

The top 10 most stolen vehicles nationally in 2025 were:

• Honda CR-V – 2,137 thefts
• Honda Civic – 1,813 thefts
• Toyota RAV4 – 1,147 thefts
• Ram 1500 Series – 1,072 thefts
• Ford F-150 Series – 1,057 thefts
• Lexus RX Series – 964 thefts
• Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra 1500 Series – 927 thefts
• Toyota Tundra – 787 thefts
• Jeep Wrangler – 603 thefts
• Hyundai Elantra – 484 thefts

The national rankings are reflected in Ontario, where the Honda CR-V once again topped the list of the province’s most frequently stolen vehicles in 2025.

According to Équité Association, 1,598 Honda CR-Vs were reported stolen in Ontario, accounting for nearly three-quarters of all CR-V thefts recorded across Canada.

The Honda Civic ranked second with 1,041 thefts, followed by the Lexus RX Series with 863 stolen vehicles. The Toyota Tundra and Toyota RAV4 rounded out the top five, with 593 and 591 thefts respectively.

Rounding out Ontario’s top 10 most-stolen vehicles were the Ford F-150 Series (532 thefts), Toyota Grand Highlander (459), Ram 1500 Series (457), Jeep Wrangler (365) and Toyota Highlander (314).

While the Honda CR-V recorded the highest number of thefts overall, several other vehicles were targeted at significantly higher rates relative to the number of insured vehicles on the road.

The Toyota Grand Highlander posted the province’s highest theft rate at 8.63 per cent, with 459 thefts among just 5,320 insured vehicles. The Toyota Tundra followed with a theft rate of 2.06 per cent, while the Lexus RX Series recorded a theft frequency of 1.45 per cent.

Federal, provincial and municipal governments have introduced a series of anti-theft measures over the past two years, including increased border inspections, enhanced law-enforcement coordination and investments in vehicle-tracking technologies.

Automakers have also begun implementing stronger security measures, including improved encryption systems and anti-theft software updates.

Despite those efforts, Équité says the continued concentration of thefts among a relatively small group of vehicles demonstrates that organized criminal networks remain highly active and adaptable.
