Jaguar Land Rover clocks best-ever January sales

Strong sales across North America and China helped Jaguar Land Rover achieve its strongest global January sales to date, selling 47,693 vehicles, up 4% year-on-year.

The month’s performance was driven by improved sales of the Land Rover Discovery Sport, the Range Rover Sport and the Jaguar F-Pace.

The Tata Motors-owned luxury carmaker delivered robust retail sales growth across many of its key regions year-on-year: North America (+29%), China (+14%) and the UK (+3%). However, sales in Europe and other overseas markets were down for the month.

Commenting on the month’s sales, Andy Goss, Jaguar Land Rover Group Sales Operations Director, said: “Impressive performances across North America and China have boosted our sales this month, helping us to achieve record January results. Collectively, these two key markets have achieved almost 23,000 sales.

Land Rover sales are set to strengthen in the coming months, as the all-new Discovery hits global dealerships.”

Jaguar recorded its best ever January, delivering 13,949 vehicles, up 76% on the previous year, reflecting continued success of the F-Pace and the XF.

Land Rover sold 33,744 vehicles in January, down 11% due to the run-out of the previous-generation Discovery. The best-seller for the month was the Discovery Sport, retailing 10,454 vehicles, up 10% year-on-year.
