JAGUAR LAND ROVER ACHIEVES STRONG GLOBAL SALES IN SEPTEMBER
Whitley, UK: Jaguar Land Rover, the UK’s leading manufacturer of premium luxury vehicles, today reported its best ever September retail sales of 61,047 vehicles, up 28% compared to September 2015. The month’s performance has been driven by strong sales of the Land Rover Discovery, Discovery Sport, the Range Rover Evoque and the Jaguar F-PACE, as well as solid sales in China.
Jaguar Land Rover delivered solid retail sales growth across all key regions year on year, with China up 50%, Europe up 32%, UK up 30%, North America up 23% and other overseas markets up 3%. Jaguar Land Rover sold 434,025 vehicles in the first nine months of 2016, 24% up on the same period in the prior year.
Commenting on the performance, Andy Goss, Jaguar Land Rover Group Sales Operations Director said: “September is always an important month for the automotive industry and we are proud of our results. Performance was strong in China and Europe, where collectively we sold almost 23,000 cars this month alone.
“With the new Discovery launched in Paris this month and sales starting for the first locally-built Jaguar in China – the XFL, our British line-up continues to expand and delight in markets across the world.”
Jaguar recorded its best September ever, with retail sales reaching 17,640 vehicles, up 70% on the previous year, reflecting the strong launch of the F-PACE as well as continued solid sales of the XE. Calendar year-to-date sales for Jaguar were 103,366 up 72% year-on-year.
