Jaguar Land Rover posted a 14 per cent rise in vehicle sales at 29,893 units in November, versus the same month a year ago.
The British automaker, owned by India’s Tata Motors, sold 3,24,184 vehicles during the first 11 months of the year, a 32 per cent rise from the same period a year ago, the company said in a statement.
The company’s November sales rose in almost every major market — China (43 per cent), Asia Pacific (26 per cent), the U.K. (15 per cent) and Europe (12 per cent).
In North America, sales were down 7 per cent, reflecting model year changeover effects and increased competitive conditions.
Jan-Nov performance
Since the start of the year, Jaguar Land Rover has seen strong sales performance across all of its major markets, with increases in China (73 per cent), Asia Pacific (37 per cent), the UK (20 per cent), Europe (37 per cent) and North America (12 per cent).
“Both Jaguar and Land Rover brands continue to deliver strong sales globally. The record breaking performance in our home market, the UK, is great news. The Jaguar XF is starting to gain traction in the marketplace, while the continued success of the Range Rover Sport and Evoque is encouraging as we are launching our new Range Rover,” Phil Popham, Director of Group Sales Operations at JLR, said.
Land Rover Nov sales
In November, Land Rover sold 25,862 vehicles, up 17 per cent compared with the previous year, with increased sales of Range Rover Evoque (39 per cent), Range Rover Sport (3 per cent), Land Rover Discovery (2 per cent) and Freelander (53 per cent).
Since the start of the year, Land Rover has sold more than 2,75,000 units, up 38 per cent.
Jaguar performance
Jaguar sold 4,031 vehicles in November (down by 5 per cent) in anticipation of the introduction of the 2013 Model Year XF and XJ model ranges, including all-wheel drive and new engine options, across most markets at the end of the year. In the first 11 months of the year, Jaguar sold 48,908 vehicles (up by 7 per cent), which reflects the strong performance of Jaguar XF.
