Jaguar Land Rover continued its success story in July as it sold a total of 46, 074 vehicles, a 3.6% increase on the sales made in the same period last year. Retail sales in July 2017, according to the U.K luxury carmaker, were up 34% year-on-year in China reflecting the introduction of the long wheel base Jaguar XFL as well as strong sales of the Jaguar F-PACE, Discovery Sport and Evoque. Retail sales were down in the UK (1%), Europe (6%), North America (3%) and Overseas markets (6%).
Jaguar Land Rover Group Sales Operations Director, Andy Goss, 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 sales reached 12,964 vehicles in July, down 2% on July 2016 while Land Rover retailed 33,110 vehicles in July, up 6% year on year, reflecting the sales of the new Discovery and Range Rover as well as the introduction of the new Range Rover Velar.
