Jaguar XF and F-PACE spearhead may sales increase
| % increase YOY | Jan – May | % increase YOY | |
Jaguar Land Rover | 45,487 | 1% | 265,381 | 8% |
Jaguar | 13,613 | 28% | 79,895 | 65% |
Land Rover | 31,874 | (7)% | 185,486 | (6)% |
Jaguar sales rose by 28% year-on-year in May, on the back of strong demand for the #jaguar #xf and #jaguar #fpace, the World Car of the Year.
Overall retail sales for #jaguar Land Rover reached 45,487 this month, up 1% on May 2016. The company sold 265,381 vehicles in the first five months of 2017, 8% up on the same period in the previous year.
Retail sales for May were up year-on-year in China, by 23%, and North America by 15.5%. Sales were down by 6% in Europe, and 15% in the Overseas region as economic conditions remained challenging in emerging markets including Brazil, The Middle East and North Africa, and Russia. UK sales were down 11% as customers purchased new vehicles ahead of the increase in Vehicle Excise Duty rates effective from 1 April 2017.
May brought yet another strong performance from the #jaguar brand, led by further encouraging sales growth in North America and China. The World Car of the Year, the #jaguar #fpace, has become the brand’s best-seller and is up 89% on last May, while #jaguar #xf sales continue to rise. Land Rover sales are expected to grow as the new Discovery continues to go on sale across the world. Meanwhile, the stunning new Range Rover Velar is scheduled to go on sale later this year and is already building a strong order bank.
ANDY GOSSJAGUAR LAND ROVER GROUP SALES OPERATIONS DIRECTORJaguar hit record May sales with 13,613 vehicles sold, up 28% on the previous year with continued solid demand for the #fpace and #xf. Land Rover retailed 31,874 vehicles in May, down 7% on the same month last year, as the sales of the new Discovery (now on sale in the UK, Europe and China) and solid sales of the Range Rover were more than offset by the impact of Vehicle Excise Duty rates in the UK from 1 April 2017 and challenging conditions in Overseas markets.
