   Maruti Suzuki is one of India’s most preferred car brands when it comes to first-time car buyers and average Indian buyers.

4. Mercedes C/S Class: The Luxury Jacking Victim 1

   

   Car-jacking is common across India both in cities and towns alike. And while jacking is typically limited to vehicles that have shiny and good-looking alloys, expensive cars like the Mercedes Benz C and S class are a common victim of car-jacking and theft since no matter how good the alloys are, even without it the wheels sell out for a lot. This is common for all models across the OEM.

5. Audi A4: The Luxury Jacking Victim 2
   

   

   Another expensive sedan that is a victim of the infamous car-jacking racket, the Audi A4 is one of Audi’s most sold vehicles in India. Owing to its premium appeal and demand, the Audi A4 is often jacked and stolen from even posh areas and localities.
