The Toyota Aqua was New Zealand’s most stolen car in 2025 due to its high theft rate, low anti-theft features, and value, despite being a hybrid.
In 2025, the Toyota Aqua was New Zealand’s most stolen car for the fourth straight year, accounting for 8% of over 9,000 theft claims, with a theft rate nearly four times higher than the Toyota Corolla.
Most stolen vehicles were over 10 years old and lacked modern anti-theft systems, though hybrids like the Aqua were frequently targeted despite making up only 5% of thefts.
Theft hotspots included Auckland, Canterbury, Waikato, Wellington, and the Bay of Plenty.
About 64% of stolen cars were recovered, 40% repairable.
Insurance costs for the Aqua nearly doubled, prompting some owners to sell.
Experts recommend anti-theft devices, secure parking, and comparing policies to reduce risk and premiums.
