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.
