The most stolen cars in each Victorian Local Government Area: MAPPED

New data shows the most stolen cars in each Victorian LGA. Holden Commodore tops the most areas, with Toyota models ranking high in others.

Holden Commodore

Of the 79 LGAs in Victoria, the Holden Commodore was the most stolen vehicle in 26 of them. The Corolla and HiLux were each the most stolen in nine other LGAs, and the Toyota LandCruiser in seven.

Other most stolen vehicles in a smaller number of LGAs included the Ford Falcon and Toyota RAV4.

The Holden Commodore and many Toyota models are some of the most common vehicles on Victoria’s roads, based on registration data described as ‘Whole Fleet Vehicle Registration Snapshot by Model Q3 2025’.

The most common vehicles on Victorian roads by registration count are the Toyota Corolla (167,413), Toyota HiLux (163,497), Ford Ranger (146,858), Toyota Camry (120,020), and Holden Commodore (107,051).

The most stolen vehicles in Victoria in the first nine months of 2025 were the Holden Commodore (1035), Toyota Corolla (829), Toyota HiLux (775), Toyota LandCruiser (693), and Toyota RAV4 (541), latest data from Victoria’s Crime Statistics Agency (CSA) shows.

Some vehicles were stolen at disproportionately higher rates than similar vehicles in 2025. There are 11 per cent more HiLuxs on Victoria’s roads than Ford Rangers, however 326 per cent more HiLuxs were stolen than Rangers in the first nine months of 2025.

This equates to approximately 1 in every 211 HiLuxs compared to 1 in every 807 Rangers stolen in the first 9 months of 2025.

Toyota recently announced that it has introduced additional security measures in some new vehicles aimed at thwarting thieves from stealing Toyota vehicles.

Other common vehicles on Victoria’s roads have even lower ratios. There are 100,056 Mazda 3s registered in Victoria, and 73 thefts of the vehicle were recorded in the first 9 months of 2025, equating to 1 in every 1371 Mazda 3s being stolen.

However, registration data does not provide a complete representation of the vehicles in Victoria at any given time, as cars from any state may be outside their state of origin.

Additionally, the Victorian Government and Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) state that the data may have errors and state in regards to the data that: “No claim is made as to the accuracy or currency of the content on this site at any time”.

A full list of the top 50 registered vehicles in Victoria and top 50 stolen vehicles in Victoria is included at the bottom of this article. 

The stolen vehicle data in this article is reflective of the data provided to Drive by Victoria’s Crime Statistics Agency. This data is collected by Victoria Police.

However, Drive has identified some inconsistencies in the stolen vehicle data collected by Victoria Police, such as incorrectly named vehicles. These incorrect vehicles include multiple instances of a ‘Toyota Lantra’ and a ‘Mazda Elite’ being stolen. Neither Toyota nor Mazda has ever sold a car under these names in Australia. Drive has contacted Victoria Police for clarification regarding these inconsistencies.

BYD Dolphin electric-car arrival pushed back, due later this year alongside Seal sedan

Gambar
Chinese electric-car giant BYD’s next two models for Australia – the city-sized Dolphin and larger Seal – are due closer to the end of this year than previously forecast. The Australian arrival of the BYD Dolphin electric hatchback has been delayed to the second half of this year, ahead of the BYD Seal electric sedan due before year’s end. BYD’s Australian distributor EVDirect has advised the  Dolphin  hatch is now due to open for orders in July 2023, and commence deliveries soon after – a delay compared to the first half of 2023 timing previously announced. The Tesla Model 3-sized Seal  sedan – previously confirmed for the “second half of 2023” – is now scheduled to open for orders and begin deliveries in the fourth quarter of 2023 (October to December), pending any further delays. The latest round of delays places the opening of order books nine to 12 months behind the “late 2022” timing indicated in mid-2022, at which time deliveries were scheduled to com...

The small SUVs with the biggest boots in 2023

Gambar
Got a tiny driveway but lots of baggage? These small SUVs offer properly big boots. With driveways, garages and streets shrinking or disappearing altogether, inner-city dwellers increasingly want the maximum amount of interior space within the smallest possible footprint. The popularity of SUVs, particularly among family buyers, has meant hatchbacks have fallen out of favour as shoppers prioritise cargo space, head room, flexible seating options and improved visibility. RELATED: What year of Toyota RAV4 is best to buy used? RELATED: What are some reliable used cars under $5000? So what happens if you need the compact footprint of a hatchback with the boot space of an SUV? Here, we’ve collated the small SUVs with the biggest boot spaces. What constitutes ‘big’, you ask? Well, the top-selling Toyota RAV4 medium SUV boasts 542 litres of cargo space and is 4600mm long and 1855mm wide. With that in mind, any small SUV able to offer over 400L of boot space – while still measur...

2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport imagined with this artist impression

Gambar
The new flagship of the Toyota HiLux range was caught on camera in Thailand late last year wearing little disguise. Now we have created an artist impression of what it could look like. Last month we got our first look at a camouflaged version of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport , the flagship ute set to replace the range-topping Toyota HiLux Rugged X in Australian showrooms later this year. Now we have an artist impression of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport (pictured above) that aims to remove some of the camouflage of the test vehicle caught on camera in Thailand mid-December 2022. As previously reported, although other versions of the Toyota HiLux GR Sport have been launched in Europe, South Africa and Japan over the past year or so, the 2023 edition appears to be the most aggressive yet. The latest Toyota HiLux GR Sport is set to come to Australia for the first time, though timing of the international unveiling and showroom arrivals are yet to be announced. A series ...
