October 6, 2017, Whitley, UK: Retail sales for Jaguar Land Rover totalled were 65,097 vehicles in September, up 6.6% compared to September 2016, primarily reflecting continued solid sales of the F-PACE as well as the introduction of the Range Rover Velar, Jaguar XF Sportbrake and long wheel base Jaguar XFL in China.
Retail sales in September were up year-on-year in China (20.1%), North America (17.1%), Overseas markets (10.2%) and Europe (1.0%) but down 3.7% in the UK reflecting general market conditions.
Andy Goss, Jaguar Land Rover Group Sales Operations Director, said: “September saw a solid performance this month across both of our brands, thanks in large part to continued customer demand for the Jaguar F-PACE and Discovery Sport, as well as an impressive consumer response to the new Range Rover Velar.”
Jaguar retail sales were 18,336 vehicles in September, up 3.9% on September 2016, primarily driven by continued solid sales of F-PACE and the introduction of the long wheel base XFL in China.
Land Rover retailed 46,761 vehicles in September, up 7.7% compared to September of last year, primarily reflecting the introduction of the new Range Rover Velar.
