What Happened
JLR reported Q3 FY26 wholesale volumes of 59,200 units, down 43.3% year-on-year, and retail sales of 79,600 units, down 25.1%. Production was impacted by a cyber incident that halted output until mid-November, and the planned wind-down of legacy Jaguar models continued to reduce volumes. Incremental US tariffs also affected exports. The Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Defender models made up 74.3% of wholesale mix.

- Wind-down of legacy Jaguar models ahead of new launch
- Incremental US tariffs on exports
Why this matters
The sharp sales decline shows how vulnerable automakers are to cyberattacks and how planned model transitions can temporarily hurt performance.
