近年来，美国现代起亚汽车盗窃案呈现急剧上升趋势，据美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）报道，自2020年以来，现代和起亚汽车的被盗率增长了超过1000%。这一惊人数据背后，是社交媒体上疯传的“起亚挑战”挑战赛。
“起亚挑战”自2021年在社交媒体上掀起热潮以来，现代和起亚汽车在美国的盗窃案直线飙升。据IT之家报道，2020年上半年，每1000辆投保的现代和起亚汽车中约有1辆被盗，而到2023年上半年，这一数字飙升至11.2辆。其中，特拉华州、纽约州和华盛顿州的盗窃率大幅上升，马里兰州更是从每1000辆4辆飙升至14辆。
此现象的主要原因是部分现代和起亚汽车缺乏防盗装置，以及部分车型设计存在缺陷，使得盗窃相对容易。尽管现代和起亚已采取措施，如软件更新和新型防盗点火装置等，但仍无法完全解决问题。此外，现代和起亚汽车的破坏率也比其他汽车品牌高出三倍，这部分原因与盗窃未遂有关。
面对这一严峻形势，警方提醒广大车主提高警惕，加强防范。同时，汽车制造商也应不断改进防盗技术，降低被盗风险。
Title: Surge in thefts of Hyundai and Kia vehicles attributed to “Kia Challenge” on social media

In recent years, the rate of thefts of Hyundai and Kia vehicles in the United States has skyrocketed. According to CNN, the theft rate of Hyundai and Kia vehicles has increased by more than 1000% since 2020. Behind this astonishing data is the widely circulated “Kia Challenge” on social media.
The “Kia Challenge” has sparked a surge in thefts of Hyundai and Kia vehicles in the United States since it went viral on social media in 2021. According to IT Home, the theft rate of Hyundai and Kia vehicles increased from 1 in 1000 insured vehicles in the first half of 2020 to 11.2 in the first half of 2023. Among them, the theft rate in Delaware, New York, and Washington State rose significantly, and in Maryland, it jumped from 4 in 1000 vehicles to 14.
The main reason for this phenomenon is that some Hyundai and Kia vehicles lack anti-theft devices, and some models have design defects that make theft relatively easy. Despite measures taken by Hyundai and Kia, such as software updates and new anti-theft ignition devices, the problem cannot be completely solved. In addition, the destruction rate of Hyundai and Kia vehicles is three times higher than that of other car brands, which is related to attempted thefts.
Facing this severe situation, police warn owners to be on guard and enhance prevention. At the same time, automobile manufacturers should also continuously improve anti-theft technology to reduce the risk of theft.
