Jaguar sales rose by 54% year-on-year this April, following the stellar success of the F-PACE, recently voted World Car of the Year.
Overall retail sales for Jaguar Land Rover reached 40,385 this month, down 2% on April 2016. The company sold 219,894 vehicles in the first four months of 2017, 10% up compared to the same period last year.
Retail sales for the month of April were up in North America (33%), China (10%) and Europe (3%), but down in the UK (35%) and in other Overseas markets (20%) year-on-year.
This was a solid sales month with a strong performance from Jaguar led by the award-winning F-PACE.
A small decrease in overall sales was seen due to two factors. In the UK, customers purchased vehicles before the increase in vehicle tax on 1 April. In addition, the run-out of the previous Discovery model accounted for a year-on-year decrease in Land Rover sales. Sales will increase from this month as the new Discovery continues to go on sale across the world, particularly in China and North America, two of Jaguar Land Rover’s biggest markets.
