Tata Motors owned Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has witnessed 11 per cent growth with 46,325 units being sold in October in comparison to the same period last year. The company attributes it success to strong sales driven by Land Rover Discovery Sport, Range Rover Evoque, Jaguar XF and the recently introduced Jaguar F-PACE. Additionally, strong year-on-year sales growth in China and Europe has also been a contributor to its positive growth.
Speaking about October performance, Andi Goss, Jaguar Land Rover Group Sales Operations Director, said, "With our most engaging product line up to date we are continuing to see positive sales momentum. Impressive performances across Europe and China have boosted our year-to-date sales to over 480,000 vehicles." JLR reportedly sold 30 per cent more cars in China, 25 per cent more in Europe and sales in UK and North America witnessed a growth by 8 per cent. However, sales in rest of the overseas market have collaboratively dropped by around 22 per cent.
In the first ten months of 2016, JLR sold 4,80,349 vehicles, 23 per cent up on the same period in the prior year. The Jaguar brand recorded retail sales of 14,402 units in October, up 93 per cent on the previous year, which clearly reflects the strong debut of the F-PACE and the introduction of the long- wheel base XFL in China.
