  • Retail sales in Q3 FY26 were 79,600* units, down 25.1% vs. Q3 FY25
  • Volumes in quarter initially impacted by production stoppages following cyber incident and time required to distribute vehicles globally after production restart
  • Planned wind down of legacy Jaguar models ahead of new Jaguar launch continued to impact volumes throughout the quarter, as expected

Gaydon, UK, 05 January 2026 – JLR today reports its wholesale and retail sales for the third quarter of FY26 (three‑months to 31 December 2025). Production returned to normal levels only by mid‑November post the cyber incident. Due to this and also the time required to distribute vehicles globally once produced, wholesale and retail volumes reduced on a quarter‑on‑quarter and year‑on‑year basis. In addition, the planned wind down of legacy Jaguar models ahead of the launch of new Jaguar, and incremental US tariffs impacting JLR’s US exports, continued to impact volumes. 

Wholesale volumes for the third quarter were 59,200 units (excluding the Chery Jaguar Land Rover China JV ('CJLR')), down 43.3% year‑on‑year and down 10.6% compared to Q2 FY26. Compared to the prior year, wholesale volumes for the third quarter were down in all markets comprising the UK which was down 0.9%, North America down 64.4%, Europe down 47.6%, China down 46.0%, MENA1 down 8.5% and Overseas down 50.4%. The overall mix of Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Defender models was 74.3% of total wholesale volumes in Q3 FY26, up from 70.3% in Q3 FY25 and down from 76.7% in the prior quarter. Wholesale volumes for the financial year to date were 212,600, down 26.6% YoY. 

Retail sales for the third quarter of 79,600 units (including CJLR ) were down 25.1% year‑on‑year and down 6.7% compared to Q2 FY26. Compared to the prior year, retail volumes for the third quarter were down in all markets, comprising the UK which was down 13.3%, North America down 37.7%, Europe down 26.9%, China down 18.4%, MENA1 down 18.7% and Overseas down 14.1%. Retail volumes for the financial year to date were 259,400, down 19.1% YoY. 

JLR will report its full financial results for Q3 FY26 in February 2026.
