Retail sales for Jaguar Land Rover totalled 38,519 vehicles in August, up 4% on August 2016, following strong sales of Jaguar F‑PACE and the new Range Rover Velar.

Retail sales in August were up 30% year‑on‑year in China and 2% in North America. Due to difficult market conditions, retail sales were down in the UK (12%), Europe (9%) and Overseas markets (5%).

A promising performance in North America has led to another month of global growth for Jaguar Land Rover, driven by continuing strong sales of the Jaguar F‑PACE and the new Range Rover Velar.

China sales were also buoyant in August, thanks to the long wheel base Jaguar XFL and the Jaguar F‑PACE, as well as strong sales of the Discovery Sport and Evoque.
