In all, six of the top 10 most-stolen vehicles in America last year were Hyundai and Kia models.
The list included the Kia Soul, Kia Forte, and Kia Sportage.
Certain older Hyundai and Kia models made before 2023 are particularly vulnerable to car thieves.
Hyundai and Kia operate as separate companies in the United States, but Hyundai Motor Group owns a large stake in Kia, and various Hyundai and Kia models share much of their engineering.
More than 1.1 million Kia vehicles nationwide have had anti-theft software installed, according to Kia.
