Solid demand in China has given Jaguar Land Rover a positive start to the year with an increase in sales of 16%. Globally sales were up by 3% to 49,066 units in January.

Challenging market conditions meant sales were down in the UK by 4% and in Europe by 9%. Overseas markets, such as Mexico, India and Brazil, saw more positive results, with sales up by 9% to 6,551.

The continued demand in China is encouraging however we are still facing challenges because of tough trading conditions in our key UK and Europe markets. We are also encouraged by the fact that all‑new models including the Jaguar E‑PACE and 2018 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport are just entering the market.

Jaguar sales were up by 1% year‑on‑year with 14,066 units sold amid strong demand for the Jaguar XF Sedan, including the long‑wheelbase XFL in China.   

Global Land Rover sales rose by 4% with 35,000 units sold, primarily reflecting continuing strong demand for the Range Rover Velar and Land Rover Discovery.
