In January, the U.S. replaced China as the largest single market for Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), which makes the popular Range Rover and Defender models. In fact, the company's North American sales were up 23% last year . (Range Rovers start around $42,000 and go up to about $180,000.) But it might be more difficult to buy a JLR vehicle soon.
After a short pause in shipments over trade wars and tariffs , the U.K.-based automaker has issued another pause — but this time, it's affecting production, and you can blame hackers instead. According to a statement on the company's website, a cyberattack has caused JLR to shut down production, which will continue until at least September 24. So far, the breach has cost the automaker more than $1.36 billion in revenue, per Auto News.
