A total of 4,117 units of Honda CR-Vs were stolen in the North American country, as compared to 2,202 units of Lexus RXs and 1,182 Ford pickup trucks, reveals a study by the Insurance Bureau of Canada.

Interestingly, there are more details the study has revealed. While the Honda CR-V is the most stolen passenger vehicle in Canada, Lexus RX has a shocking theft rate of 6.4 per cent. This means one in every 16 cars stolen was a Lexus RX. The study reveals that there were 236,550 units of the Honda CR-Vs insured in the country. The theft rate for the crossover was 1.7 per cent based on the fact that 4,117 cars were stolen.

Ford F150, a highly popular car model in the North American markets, including the US and Canada, registered a 0.4 per cent theft rate, with 292,127 units insured and 1,182 units stolen.
