Hyundais and Kias stolen nearly twice as often as other vehicles, national study finds
Fox News
A new report from the Highway Loss Data Institute found that Hyundais and Kias were stolen at nearly twice the rate of other models in 2021.
Gary Gastelu is Fox News Digital's Automotive Editor.
Criminals discovered that 2011 to 2021 Kias and 2015 to 2021 Hyundais equipped with ignitions that use a physical key, rather than a wireless key fob and push-button, could be started by using the tip of a USB cable, and the technique was posted online last year.
Tens of thousands of the cars have been stolen since, some of them by teens not even old enough to have a driver's license.
