Jaguar Land Rover has sued BYD in The Hague, claiming the BYD Ti7 resembles the Land Rover Defender. Dutch authorities have searched BYD's offices as part of the investigation. The lawsuit, set to begin on November 12, 2026, alleges that BYD infringed on JLR's intellectual property rights. JLR accuses BYD of dismantling a Defender to replicate its design and technical solutions. Both companies have not commented on the ongoing legal dispute, which follows JLR's previous lawsuit against another Chinese automaker in 2016.
