Jaguar Land Rover launches electric Range Rover

Business Recorder reported that Jaguar Land Rover began accepting orders on Wednesday for a fully electric Range Rover, a year after a cyberattack disrupted the British carmaker's output and finances. Speaking to AFP, chief operating officer Nigel Blenkinsop described the launch timing as a coincidence and said the company had recovered strongly. He also said output had returned to normal levels swiftly after the incident.

JLR, which is owned by India's Tata Motors, disclosed in early September 2025 that hackers had targeted it, forcing a production halt of more than a month. The episode cost the company £196 million ($264 million).

US tariffs also weighed on the carmaker. It went from a £1.8 billion net profit in 2024/5 to a £244 million loss in the year to March.
