Jaguar Land Rover posts strong June sales, driven by robust China market

Ahead of the Range Rover Velar arriving in showrooms worldwide, retail sales for the Tata Motors-owned Jaguar Land Rover reached 51,591 vehicles last month, up 11.0% on June 2016. Retail sales for the quarter totalled 137,463 vehicles, up 3.5% compared to the same quarter last year.

Retail sales for June were up year-on-year in China (65.3%), the UK (3.8%), Europe (3.7%) and North America (3.2%) whilst sales in overseas markets were down 8.5%, due to challenging conditions in emerging markets such as Brazil, the Middle East and Russia.

According to Andy Goss, Jaguar Land Rover Group Sales Operations Director, “Jaguar Land Rover saw another positive performance in June, led by strong sales in China, both from imported vehicles and our Chinese joint venture. Jaguar sales were up 16.4%, thanks to another strong month for the F-Pace and XF. Last month has also seen solid sales of our flagship Range Rover and the Discovery Sport. July will mark the start of sales for the new Range Rover Velar, which was revealed in March.”

Jaguar sales reached 15,343 vehicles in June, up 16.4% on June last year, with strong continued sales from the F-Pace and XF. Land Rover retailed 36,248 vehicles in June, up 8.9% on the same month last year, led by continuing strong demand for the new Discovery and solid Range Rover sales.
