Jaguar Land Rover, the UK's leading manufacturer of premium luxury vehicles today reported July retail sales of 33,239 vehicles, down 3% year‑on‑year. During the first seven months of the year, Jaguar Land Rover has sold 272,451 vehicles, 1% down on the same period last year.

Jaguar Land Rover's regional performance year‑to‑date shows 19% growth in Europe, 16% in the UK and 14% in North America, with Overseas down 11%. Sales in the China Region were down 28% year‑to‑date, due to changing market conditions and production ramping up for the locally produced Range Rover Evoque and run‑out of other vehicles in advance of upcoming launches.

Commenting on the performance, Andy Goss, Jaguar Land Rover Group Sales Operations Director said:​"Despite a challenging macro‑economic environment, particularly in China, demand for our premium vehicles remains encouraging. Sales in our key regions, the UK, Europe and North America have shown impressive growth year‑to‑date.

"Sales of the all‑new Discovery Sport and the all‑new Jaguar XE sports saloon continued strong this month, retailing almost 8,000 vehicles in total. We now look forward to a period of new product impetus, which will see the introduction of new 16 model year Jaguar XF and XJ and Range Rover Evoque vehicles in the coming months."

Land Rover sales in the month of July retailed 26,322, down 7%. Calendar year‑to‑date sales reached 228,035 vehicles, up 1% year‑on‑year on the back of continued customer demand particularly for the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. Year‑to‑date Land Rover's sales performance has seen growth in the UK (up 17%), Europe (up 19%) and North America (up 20%).

Jaguar delivered a solid performance in the month, selling 6,917 vehicles, up 14%. This increase was due to sales of the all‑new Jaguar XE sports saloon, which has been available in Jaguar retailers since May. Calendar year‑to‑date sales were down 11% year‑on‑year, retailing 44,416 vehicles. The F‑TYPE continues to impress customers around the world, with sales up 7% in the first seven months of 2015.
