Jaguar Land Rover’s nearly wiped-out profit paints a harsh picture for the British luxury automaker. For the 12 months through March, pretax profit fell to just £14 million from £2.5 billion a year earlier, hit by new US tariffs, weaker luxury demand in China, and a cyberattack that halted production for weeks starting last September. While it returned to profit in the latest quarter, JLR is now rebooting with a fully electric lineup, including a new electric Jaguar and Range Rover deliveries later this year.
