1) Introduction (Lead): background, technical/design highlights
JLR, the manufacturer of Jaguar and Land Rover, halted global production from September 1, 2025, due to a cyberattack, and shut down its internal systems on September 2 to conduct a forensic investigation and restore operations. The expected date for resuming operations has been adjusted to October 1, 2025. According to Autocar, the attack group is believed to be the same organization that targeted retailer Marks & Spencer earlier this year. Autocar also estimated that the damage could be up to $6.8 million/day, while according to Reuters, the three factories in the UK usually reach about 1,000 cars/day.
Speaking to Car and Driver, a JLR spokesperson said the production suspension extension was “to provide clarity for next week as we develop a phased restart roadmap and continue our investigation.” The company confirmed that its teams are “working around the clock with cybersecurity experts, the NCSC and law enforcement to ensure a safe and secure restart.”
2) Exterior: design language, size, competitor comparison
The article focuses on the company’s operations in the face of the cyber-security incident, not on the design or size of a specific vehicle model. In terms of operational scale, JLR has halted production globally; in the UK alone, the three factories typically have a combined capacity of around 1,000 vehicles per day (Reuters). This scale shows a significant impact when the recovery process needs to be carried out in stages to ensure system safety.
3) Interior & comfort: materials, screens, connections, space
Not specific to a specific vehicle. Regarding internal infrastructure, JLR said it shut down its systems on September 2 and is rebuilding. Details of the affected IT platforms, the recovery time for each subsystem, or the impact on connected services have not been released.
4) Engine & performance: specifications, driving experience, 0–100, consumption
Not applicable for test drives or performance evaluation of a vehicle. In the context of the incident, “operation” is understood as the roadmap to restart production. According to the update on September 23, 2025, JLR adjusted the plan, expected to resume operations until October 1, 2025 and will be implemented in stages after completing the system safety verification steps. Vehicle specifications such as power (hp/kW), torque (Nm), transmission (8-speed AT/CVT/DCT), drive (FWD/RWD/AWD), 0-100 km/h time, fuel consumption: unknown within the scope of current incident information.
5) Safety: active/passive, ADAS, NCAP standard
No data on the active/passive safety systems or ADAS of individual models is available at this stage. At the corporate level, JLR says it is working with cybersecurity experts, the NCSC and law enforcement agencies; and conducting forensic investigations to ensure a safe and secure relaunch. No relevant NCAP rating information is available.
6) Price & Version: Compared to Competitors, Value for Money
There is no information yet on the selling price or the product versions directly affected. According to Autocar, the loss due to the shutdown could be up to 6.8 million USD/day. According to Reuters, JLR's three factories in the UK usually produce about 1,000 cars/day. The company said it had informed colleagues, suppliers and partners about the extension of the suspension (before updating the new milestone of 1/10/2025), showing the level of coordination of the supply chain in the recovery process.
7) Conclusion: Concise pros/cons
- Highlights: Phased restart roadmap to 1 October 2025; ongoing forensic investigation; coordination with NCSC and authorities.
- Impact: Global production halted from September 1; internal systems halted from September 2; estimated loss of up to $6.8 million/day; daily capacity in the UK is about 1,000 vehicles/day.
- Unknown: Detailed impact to each vehicle line, timing of full system and service restoration, and any price/version adjustments.
