Suzuki

Suzuki’s performance is held back only by the Supercarry and Carry vans, which are older vans and the last of which (the Carry) was discontinued in 2005. Add to that older models like the Baleno and Vitara pushing up the average and a relatively compact range and the overall picture for Suzuki is a rather skewed.

It's a tale of two halves with the older models not doing very well and the modern cars - such as Splash and SX-4 - appearing in the least likely to be stolen list. Indeed if it wasn't for the Carry van, Suzuki wouldn't appear in our most likely to be stolen list at all.

However, it is possible some crimes that actually relate to the Grand Vitara are wrongly recorded by the police against plain ‘Vitara’ in databases, which can slightly inflate the crime rate for the Vitara and slightly reduce it for the Grand Vitara.
