Honda CR-V Theft Statistics in Canada: How It Compares With Other Vehicles (Updated November 10, 2026)

Verified and updated November 10, 2026, 8:03 p.m. UTC.

The Honda CR-V ranked third among Canada’s most stolen vehicle models in Équité Association’s 2024 model-by-model list, with 1,911 thefts. The Toyota RAV4 led that list with 2,080 thefts, followed by the Ram 1500 Series with 2,018. The latest annual trend report, covering 2025, shows overall private passenger vehicle thefts fell 18% year over year to 46,999. That national decline does not establish whether CR-V thefts rose or fell in 2025: the annual trend report and the model ranking measure different things.

Destaques

• The CR-V recorded 1,911 thefts in Équité’s 2024 model ranking, placing third nationally.
• The Toyota RAV4 and Ram 1500 recorded more thefts that year; the Honda Civic recorded 1,797.
• Équité’s 2025 report counts 46,999 private passenger vehicle thefts, down 18% from 2024.
• A model’s theft count is not the same as its theft frequency or an individual owner’s risk.

How many Honda CR-Vs were stolen in Canada?

Équité Association’s 2024 top-10 list counted 1,911 stolen Honda CR-Vs. Its table identifies the listed CR-V generation as model years 2016–2021, with 517,293 insured vehicles and a reported theft frequency of 0.37%. The ranking is based on the number of thefts, and the list groups model generations where Équité considers their characteristics similar.

That figure is a count of reported thefts among insured vehicles in the dataset. It is not a count of every CR-V on Canadian roads, and it does not mean that 0.37% of every CR-V owner’s personal risk is identical. Équité compiles information from law enforcement and insurance claims, so readers should treat the statistic as a useful comparison within that dataset, not as a prediction for a particular vehicle or location.

How does the Honda CR-V compare with other stolen vehicles?

The 2024 ranking puts the CR-V among the leading models, but popular vehicles can rank high by total thefts partly because many are insured. Theft frequency adds context by comparing thefts with the insured vehicle count. In Équité’s table, the CR-V’s 0.37% frequency was lower than the Lexus RX Series at 1.14% and the Toyota Highlander at 0.90%, despite the CR-V having more thefts than either model.

Figures are from Équité Association’s 2024 model ranking, reproduced in its 2024 annual list reporting. The listed insured counts and percentages help explain why rankings by theft totals and theft frequency can tell different stories. For example, the Civic had 1,797 thefts—close to the CR-V’s count—but a lower reported frequency because the insured fleet was larger.

What do the latest Canadian auto theft statistics show?

Équité’s February 2026 annual trend report says 46,999 private passenger vehicles were stolen in Canada in 2025, an 18% decrease from 57,359 in 2024. It also reports a 59% national recovery rate in 2025, compared with 58% in 2024. These are overall figures for cars, trucks, SUVs and vans; they do not provide a new CR-V-specific ranking.

The distinction matters when interpreting searches for current CR-V theft statistics. The latest verified model-by-model comparison used here is the 2024 list, while the newer 2025 report describes the overall trend. Until Équité publishes a comparable model-specific table, it would be misleading to apply the national 18% decrease to CR-V thefts or to claim a new CR-V rank from the total alone.

Why are theft counts and theft rates different?

A theft count answers how many vehicles in a model group were reported stolen. A theft frequency relates that count to the number of insured vehicles in the same group. Neither measure, on its own, adjusts for where vehicles are parked, local theft patterns, differences in coverage, or an individual vehicle’s security equipment. Rankings are also tied to the reporting period and model-year groups, so they can change from one annual list to another.

For owners, the figures are most useful as a signal to check local conditions and insurance terms. Theft risk and claim costs vary by postal code, vehicle year and insurer. If you are comparing vehicles or reviewing coverage, ask your insurer for the current rating and claims information for your exact model year and location. Équité’s list is informational and should not be read as individualized insurance or purchase advice.

What could happen next?

The verified national trend is downward for 2025, while Équité says organized criminal tactics continue to evolve and calls for updated vehicle anti-theft standards. That does not guarantee further declines or establish what will happen to the CR-V’s position. The next useful comparison will be Équité’s next model-specific list, which can show whether the CR-V’s theft count and frequency changed relative to other vehicles.

Frequently asked questions

Was the Honda CR-V Canada’s most stolen vehicle in 2024?

No. It ranked third by theft count, behind the Toyota RAV4 and Ram 1500 Series.

Does the 2025 national decline mean CR-V thefts also fell?

Not necessarily. The 18% decrease covers all private passenger vehicles; it does not specify a CR-V change.

Is the CR-V’s theft count the same as its theft risk?

No. The count is the number of thefts; frequency compares thefts with insured vehicles in that model group.
