AMI Insurance received more than nine-thousand vehicle theft and attempted theft claims in 2025 - with the Aqua making up 8 percent of claims.
The Toyota Corolla, Nissan Tiida , and Mazda Demio round out the top four.
Toyota Chief Strategic Officer Andrew Davis says a lot of the thefts come from older cars.
He says technology advances quickly and so do cars - the tech was the latest and greatest back when the cars were made, but the world moves on.
