Jaguar / Land Rover JLR INVESTS IN VEHICLE SECURITY TO REDUCE THEFTS

• New Range Rover and new Range Rover Sport consistently exceed standards set by Thatcham, the UK’s leading automotive risk intelligence company
• Reflected in low theft rates - only 0.07% of new Range Rover and new Range Rover Sports and 0.3% of new Defenders being stolen
• Vehicles built from 2018 have benefitted from investment of more than £10 million, including a series of enhanced security updates
• Updates have already been rolled out in the UK to more than 65,000 vehicles, reducing thefts of Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models built from 2018 to 2022 by more than 40%
• Eligible clients who have already been contacted by JLR are being urged to take up their complimentary security upgrade

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) UK has reaffirmed its commitment to vehicle security, ensuring vehicles are protected and updated with the latest technology to prevent thefts.

Vehicles manufactured from 2022 onwards are built on JLR’s most advanced electrical architecture, meaning they have the latest security features and are proving resilient to theft: since January 2022, only 0.07% of new Range Rover and new Range Rover Sports on the road have been stolen, while only 0.3% of new Defenders have been affected since 2020.

The latest security and technology can also be deployed to previous generation vehicles, including those out of warranty, ensuring they are updated with the same levels of protection as current models: since 2022, more than 65,000 eligible vehicles from 2018 models onwards have so far received security updates via their retailer. JLR has carried out this extensive rollout out by contacting clients directly and remaining owners are being urged to take up these updates.
