Sonic Automotive Elevates its Luxury Portfolio as Owners of the Authorized Jaguar Land Rover Retailer Serving Beverly Hills
Under recent new ownership, the Los Angeles-area luxury dealership is rechristened Jaguar Beverly Hills and Land Rover Beverly Hills to reflect its role as the JLR-authorized retailer serving one of the world’s most iconic luxury destinations
CHARLOTTE, N.C., August 25, 2026 – Sonic Automotive, Inc. (NYSE: SAH), one of the nation’s largest automotive and powersports retailers and a recipient of Newsweek’s 2026 “Most Trustworthy Companies in America” award, today announced the renaming of two premier dealerships to Jaguar Beverly Hills and Land Rover Beverly Hills. Jaguar Beverly Hills and Land Rover Beverly Hills are among Sonic Automotive’s 11 Jaguar Land Rover dealerships nationwide and 14 automotive and powersports dealerships serving the Southern California area.
Formerly known as Jaguar Los Angeles and Land Rover Los Angeles, the new names represent more than a change in identity. This transition reinforces their position as the only Jaguar and Land Rover retailer serving Beverly Hills, solidifying the company’s commitment to delivering a client experience worthy of the Beverly Hills name, an internationally recognized destination for luxury, design, culture, and exceptional hospitality.
The transition arrives at a pivotal moment for the Jaguar and Land Rover brands. Jaguar is preparing for a bold new era of all-electric luxury, previewed by the dramatic Type 00 design vision and brought closer to production through the forthcoming Type 01 four-door electric GT. Range Rover continues to define modern luxury with the all-new Range Rover Electric and Range Rover SV Ultra. Defender is building on its legendary capability with Defender OCTA, the most powerful and capable Defender ever produced, while Discovery continues to deliver versatile, family-focused vehicles.
Featuring this array of highly desirable brands, Jaguar Beverly Hills and Land Rover Beverly Hills will provide a world-class home in one of the globe's most influential luxury markets.
"Beverly Hills is one of the most iconic destinations in the world, and these new dealership names more accurately reflect the world-class experience our teammates deliver," said David B. Smith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sonic Automotive. "The transition to Jaguar Beverly Hills and Land Rover Beverly Hills is a statement about our position as the official Jaguar and Land Rover retailer serving Beverly Hills, the brand standards we uphold, and our commitment to creating exceptional automotive retail experiences worthy of this extraordinary market."
Building upon their established foundations, Land Rover Beverly Hills will continue to offer clients the iconic Range Rover, Defender, and Discovery portfolios, while Jaguar Beverly Hills showcases the brand’s distinctive approach to modern luxury, design, and performance. Across both brands, the focus remains on delivering highly personalized service, elevated hospitality, and effortless convenience.
Clients will continue to be served by the same dedicated dealership teammates, with access to factory-trained service technicians, genuine parts, and personalized support throughout the ownership journey. Clients can experience the luxury experience at Jaguar Beverly Hills and Land Rover Beverly Hills in person at 400 S. La Brea Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90036, or online at jaguarbeverlyhills.com and landroverbeverlyhills.com.
In addition to Jaguar Beverly Hills and Land Rover Beverly Hills, Sonic Automotive serves luxury automotive clients in Southern California through a portfolio of premier dealerships, including Beverly Hills BMW, BMW and MINI of Monrovia, Crown Lexus, Jaguar Land Rover Newport Beach, Land Rover Pasadena, Land Rover Santa Monica, Long Beach BMW, Mercedes-Benz of Calabasas, and W.I.
