However, more valuable cars are stolen more often relative to the number of them on the road.
For example, while the most stolen car in France is the ubiquitous Renault Clio 5, worth €18,500, the car most frequently stolen relative to the number in circulation is the Toyota Rav4, worth €41,500.
“The Clio is the most common car in France, and as such is obviously the most stolen. However, their owners are ten times less likely to fall victim to theft as people who have a Toyota Rav4,” reports Auto Plus.
In 2023, a total of 2,378 Clio 5s were stolen, compared to 274 Toyota Rav4s.
