The Honda CR-V was the most stolen vehicle in Canada and in Ontario in 2025. Type your vehicle below to see where it ranks, or browse all four of Équité Association's top 10 lists, then see what actually stops thieves.
Lists released November 10, 2026, covering thefts in 2025. We update this page when each new list comes out.
The full Canadian top 10 counted down, why the Honda CR-V is now number one, the Toyota Land Cruiser's one-in-four theft rate in Ontario, and what actually stops thieves.
Type a make or model. You'll see every 2025 list it's on, its rank, how many were stolen and the model year thieves took most.
Most stolen counts every theft, so popular vehicles rise to the top. Highest theft rate divides thefts by the number insured, which shows how likely one particular vehicle is to be taken.

Most of these vehicles aren't taken with a stolen key. Thieves relay the key fob's signal from outside your house, or get in and program a new key. An immobilizer stops both: the engine won't start until you prove it's you. Every system below is installed at our Markham shop and comes with a certificate of installation.
Our first choice
Hidden digital immobilizer with no box or light to find, and it arms itself every time you switch off. Vehicles equipped with CAN FD need the IGLA FD Dual CAN version instead. We'll tell you which yours needs before you book.
Installed from $1,349.99 CAD
GPS and app control
The same kind of engine protection, plus 4G GPS tracking and app control from anywhere with the SIM and data plan. Without the SIM, it's Bluetooth only and costs less.
Installed from $1,049.99 CAD
Lowest cost
A compact contactless immobilizer for push-button-start vehicles only. If its tag isn't in the vehicle, the engine won't start.
Installed $449.99 CAD
An immobilizer stops the drive-away. These cover what it doesn't: getting the vehicle back, and your key fob at home.
Get it back if it's taken
Wireless tags hidden through the vehicle, plus window etching that tells thieves it's tagged. If it's stolen, TAG's recovery team tracks it down and works with police. Many insurers name TAG in their letters.
Installed $399.99 CAD
Under $15
Drop your key fob in it at home and its signal can't be picked up and relayed. It doesn't stop a thief who's already inside programming a new key, so pair it with an immobilizer.
$12.99 CAD
Many insurers add a surcharge to high-theft models, or ask for a recognized anti-theft device before they'll renew. Your letter says what your insurer will accept. Send us a photo of it and we'll show you which systems match what it lists. Your insurer decides eligibility, so confirm with them or your broker before you book.
Every November, Équité Association, the insurance industry's crime and fraud prevention group, publishes Canada's top 10 most stolen vehicles. The 2025 lists came out on November 10, 2026. Here's what they show, what they mean for owners in Ontario and the GTA, and what actually stops these vehicles being taken.
Thieves took 2,137 Honda CR-Vs in Canada in 2025, more than any other vehicle. It also topped the list in 2021 and 2022, and the 2024 model year was the one stolen most often. The Honda Civic was second with 1,813, so two Hondas alone account for nearly 4,000 thefts. The Toyota RAV4, number one on the 2024 list, dropped to third with 1,147.
Pickups fill much of the rest of the list: the Ram 1500 (1,072), Ford F-150 (1,057), Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 (927) and Toyota Tundra (787). The Lexus RX, Jeep Wrangler and Hyundai Elantra round out the top 10.
The CR-V tops Ontario's list too, with 1,598 stolen. That's about three out of every four CR-V thefts in the country. The Honda Civic (1,041) and Lexus RX (863) follow, then the Toyota Tundra, Toyota RAV4, Ford F-150, Toyota Grand Highlander, Ram 1500, Jeep Wrangler and Toyota Highlander.
Ontario recorded 19,319 vehicle thefts in 2025, about 41% of Canada's total. Only 51% of the vehicles stolen in Ontario were recovered, compared with 59% nationally, so roughly half never came back.
The "most stolen" list counts every theft, so vehicles that sell in big numbers rise to the top. The theft rate list divides thefts by the number of each model insured, which is a better guide to the risk for one owner.
On that measure, newer luxury SUVs stand out. Nationally, 11.37% of insured Lexus TX and 11.32% of Toyota Land Cruisers were stolen in 2025. In Ontario it's worse: a quarter of insured Land Cruisers (199 of 791) and almost one in five Lexus TX were stolen. The Toyota Grand Highlander made Ontario's most stolen list with only 5,320 insured, a theft rate of 8.63%.
Thefts fell 18% across Canada in 2025, from 57,359 to 46,999, and 22% in Ontario. Équité credits national and industry initiatives for the drop. They still cost Canadians about $900 million a year in insurance claims.
Équité points out that Canada's vehicle anti-theft standards were last updated in 2007, and it's working with Transport Canada to bring them in line with global best practices. Its polling found 72% of Canadians think anti-theft technology should come built into vehicles, not sold as an add-on. Until that happens, the protection on your vehicle is the protection you add.
Équité says thieves are using key fob relay attacks and reprogramming. Most of the thefts we see don't involve a broken lock or a stolen key. They go through the vehicle's own electronics:
We describe these only in general terms. You can read more on our anti-theft systems page.
An immobilizer is the layer that matters most, because it stops the vehicle being driven away whatever the thief does to the key. IGLA is our first choice for most vehicles, the StarLine S9 adds GPS tracking and app control, and the KEETEC Rider is the lowest-cost option for push-button-start vehicles.
Then add what an immobilizer doesn't cover: TAG to help get the vehicle back if it's loaded onto a truck, and a Faraday bag for your key fob at home. No system makes a vehicle impossible to steal, but layers take away the shortcuts thieves rely on, and they move on to an easier target.
We've been installing vehicle security in the GTA since 2003, at our shop at 155 McIntosh Drive, Unit 6, in Markham. Every system comes with a certificate of installation and our lifetime installation warranty.
All figures come from Équité Association's Top 10 Most Stolen Vehicles of 2025, released November 10, 2026, and its 2025 Auto Theft Trend Report. Theft rate is the number of thefts of a make and model divided by the number insured, and the rate lists only include models with at least 50 thefts. Équité groups some models as a series, such as the Lexus RX Series. We'll update this page when the next list comes out.
The Honda CR-V. Équité Association counted 2,137 CR-Vs stolen in Canada in 2025, more than any other vehicle, and the 2024 model year was the one taken most often. The Honda Civic was second with 1,813 and the Toyota RAV4, 2024's number one, was third with 1,147.
Also the Honda CR-V, with 1,598 stolen in Ontario in 2025. The Honda Civic (1,041) and Lexus RX (863) were next. Measured by theft rate instead, the Toyota Land Cruiser tops Ontario's list: 199 of the 791 insured in the province were stolen, about 1 in 4.
By theft rate, the Lexus TX in Canada overall: 11.37% of those insured were stolen in 2025, with the Toyota Land Cruiser close behind at 11.32%. In Ontario the rates are higher still: 25.16% for the Land Cruiser and 19.40% for the Lexus TX.
Not necessarily. These are only the top 10s, and almost 47,000 vehicles were stolen in Canada in 2025. Most newer keyless vehicles share the same weak spots. Text us your year, make and model and we'll tell you how it's being targeted.
Yes. Thefts fell 18% nationally in 2025, from 57,359 to 46,999, and 22% in Ontario, to 19,319. They still cost about $900 million a year in insurance claims, and in Ontario only about half of stolen vehicles were recovered.
It stops one method: a relay attack on your key fob while it's at home. It doesn't stop a thief who gets into the vehicle and programs a new key, which is why we pair it with an immobilizer.
Some do. Many insurers add a surcharge to high-theft models or ask for a recognized anti-theft device at renewal. Your letter says what your insurer will accept. Send it to us and we'll show you which systems match what it lists. Your insurer decides eligibility, so confirm with them or your broker before you book.
About four hours for an immobilizer on most vehicles, done the same day by appointment at our Markham shop. TAG takes about an hour. You can wait in our waiting area or drop the vehicle off.
Équité Association publishes its top 10 lists once a year, usually in November. We update this page when each new list comes out.
