In fact, 2015-2019 Hyundai and Kia models are roughly twice as likely to be stolen as other vehicles of similar age. 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. Some videos posted on TikTok showed allegedly stolen Hyundai and Kia vehicles being driven recklessly and even crashing. HLDI’s estimates of theft frequency are based on the number of a given model on the road and the frequency of vehicle theft claims. Kia pointed out the majority of Kia vehicles in the United States have push-button start systems that make theft more difficult.
