Retail sales for Jaguar Land Rover totalled 46,074 vehicles in July, up 3.6% on July 2016 with higher sales of the Jaguar XF, continuing solid sales of F-Pace, Discovery Sport and Range Rover as well as the sales ramp up of the new Discovery, now on sale in North America and China, and the introduction of the new Range Rover Velar.
Retail sales in July were up 34.4% year-on-year in China reflecting the introduction of the long wheel base Jaguar XFL as well as strong sales of F-Pace, Discovery Sport, Range Rover Sport and Evoque. Retail sales were down in the UK (-1.0%), North America (-2.7%), Europe (-5.7%), and Overseas markets (-6.1%).
Andy Goss, Jaguar Land Rover Group Sales Operations director, said: “July has been another successful month for Jaguar Land Rover, particularly in China, where we reinforced our commitment to the market by opening our new engine plant in Changshu on 21 July.
“Year on year, we have seen an increase in sales for Land Rover, led by continuing strong sales of the Discovery Sport and Range Rover. The new Range Rover Velar has already reached customers in the UK and Europe and we anticipate continued strength of sales as Velar continues to go on sale around the world.”
Jaguar retail sales reached 12,964 vehicles in July, down 1.8% on July 2016 as the introduction of the Jaguar XFL and solid sales of F-Pace were offset by lower sales of XE. Land Rover retailed 33,110 vehicles in July, up 5.8% year on year, reflecting the sales ramp up of the all-new Discovery and continuing strong sales of Discovery Sport and Range Rover as well as the introduction of the new Range Rover Velar.
