It is revealed that car thefts have shot up last month over at the UK and most of the vehicles stolen are either the Range Rover Sport or the Range Rover Evoque.
Both SUVs from Land Rover were released earlier this year and local authorities have identified on why they are favourites to go missing. It appears that thieves simply went online to purchase a mobile device that can easily hack into the Sport and Evoque’s keyless entry and push button.
It is further identified that the digitalization of vehicles has made it far easier for thieves to hijack a car. This is surprising as many felt that features like keyless entry and push button are meant to make it impossible for the cars to get stolen.
The rising theft cases of the Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Evoque have led to insurance company, to avoid covering the vehicles at all cost. Of course, both Jaguar and insurance providers are having a long discussion to overcome this madness.
At the moment, Jaguar Group and Land Rover has yet to offer a solution for this matter but we can expect one coming in the near future.
