Eventhough these cars are the most stolen in India still many other cars also face same kind of threats especially Tata, Maruti and Mahindra manufactured cars.According to me,other cars mostly stolen are Maruti Swift and Swift Dzire, also Indigo CS, Hyundai i10 and many other.Still dont think only these cars face the threat of being stolen even luxury cars are also mostly stolen in India. So, kindly be careful.
