Shares in owner Tata Motors fall after carmaker confirms impact of devastating hack
Sales at Jaguar Land Rover slumped in the final quarter of last year as US tariffs hit and production was slow to recover after a devastating cyber-attack.
Wholesale volumes C sales via dealerships C fell by 43.3% to 59,200 vehicles in the quarter to December, while retail sales were down 25.1% at 79,600 cars after the hack in late August.
The attack forced JLR to suspend production at its factories in the UK, Slovakia, Brazil and India through September and pushed it into a quarterly loss of almost 05500m .
Production at Britains largest carmaker only returned to normal levels by mid62November and it took time to distribute vehicles globally, the carmaker said. It also cited incremental US tariffs impacting JLRs US exports, along with the planned wind-down of older models before the launch of the new Jaguar.
The much-hyped electric vehicle faced an online backlash over its teaser trailer that did not feature the car itself, prompting Elon Musk, the boss of the rival EV brand Tesla, to ask: Do you sell cars?
The JLR design boss, Gerry McGovern, insisted the car brand had shown fearless creativity but departed the business just four months after its new chief executive took charge. PB Balaji, previously the finance chief at JLRs Indian owner, Tata Motors, was appointed as the UK carmakers chief executive in August.
JLRs retail sales fell in all markets between October and December, including a 13.3% drop in the UK.
North America was down 37.7%, Europe fell by 26.9%, China was down 18.4%, Middle East and north Africa was down 18.7%, and the rest of the world dropped by 14.1%. Retail volumes for the financial year to date fell by 19.1% to 259,400.
Wholesale volumes fell most in North America, down 64.4%, while the UK slipped by 0.9% and the rest of Europe was 47.6% lower.
The Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Defender models made up nearly three-quarters of sales, up from 70.3% a year earlier. Wholesale volumes for the financial year so far dropped by 26.6% to 212,600.
Shares in Tata Motors fell by as much as 4% on the news before recovering some ground to be down 2%.
The figures came as a rise in the popularity of Chinese brands pushed total car sales in the UK above the 2m mark last year for the first time since 2019.
Chinese companies accounted for 9.7% of the 2m new car registrations in the UK in 2025, or 196,000 vehicles, according to preliminary figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, a lobby group.
塔塔汽车公司证实遭受严重网络攻击影响后，其股价应声下跌
受美国加征关税和网络攻击后生产恢复缓慢的影响，捷豹路虎去年第四季度销量大幅下滑。
截至12月的季度，经销商批发销量下降43.3%，至59,200辆；而8月下旬遭遇黑客攻击后，零售销量下降25.1%，至79,600辆。
此次网络攻击迫使捷豹路虎（JLR）暂停了其在英国、斯洛伐克、巴西和印度工厂的生产直至九月，并导致该季度亏损近5亿英镑。
这家英国最大汽车制造商表示，其生产直到11月中旬才恢复正常水平，且全球车辆配送需要时间。该公司还提到"美国加征关税影响捷豹路虎对美出口"，以及在新款捷豹发布前逐步淘汰旧车型的计划。
这款备受瞩目的电动汽车因其预告片未展示实车而引发网友不满，其竞争对手特斯拉的首席执行官埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）对此调侃道：“你们卖的是车吗？”
捷豹路虎（JLR）设计总监杰里·麦戈文（Gerry McGovern）坚称该汽车品牌展现了“无畏的创造力”，但在新任首席执行官上任仅四个月后便离职。此前担任捷豹路虎印度母公司塔塔汽车（Tata Motors）财务总监的PB·巴拉吉（PB Balaji）于8月被任命为这家英国汽车制造商的首席执行官。
捷豹路虎（JLR）10月至12月在全球所有市场的零售额均出现下滑，其中英国市场跌幅达13.3%。
北美地区下滑37.7%，欧洲下降26.9%，中国减少18.4%，中东与北非下跌18.7%，全球其他地区降幅为14.1%。本财年迄今零售量下降19.1%，降至25.94万。
批发量在北美地区降幅最大，同比下降64.4%；英国小幅下滑0.9%，欧洲其他地区则下降47.6%。
揽胜（Range Rover）、揽胜运动版（Range Rover Sport）和卫士（Defender）车型的销量占比接近四分之三，较上年同期的70.3%有所上升。本财年迄今的批发销量下降26.6%，至21.26万辆。
受此消息影响，塔塔汽车（Tata Motors）股价一度下跌4%，随后小幅回升，最终跌幅收窄至2%。
数据显示，随着中国品牌受欢迎程度上升，去年英国汽车总销量自2019年以来首次突破200万辆大关。
英国汽车制造商和贸易商协会（行业游说团体）的初步数据显示，2025年英国200万辆新车注册量中，中国企业占比达9.7%，即19.6万辆。
