Are Range Rovers now uninsurable in London?

I was speaking to a friend who lives near me in North London and wanted to change his car from a BMW to a Land or Range Rover and was quoted £8000 for insurance. He decided to buy an Audi Q5 instead.

My question is what are Jaguar Land Rover doing to address this issue if their cars are still so easy to steal? On my local social media network not a week goes by without a report of the theft of a Range Rover though Jaguar thefts don't seem to come up very often.

Hasn't this already damaged the reputation of the manufacturer to the point where they won't sell any cars?

The proliferation of high-value vehicles such as Range Rovers in London and the fact that thieves are exploiting particular security workarounds means that they are considered a high risk, and therefore attracting high insurance premiums.

Manufacturers are constantly working on improving security systems, but it is effectively a game of cat and mouse as criminals are always working to defeat the latest updates.
