4.00 (1.21%) Tata Motors’ subsidiary -- Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has achieved its best ever February sales performance in 2017, with total retail sales of 40,978 vehicles, up 9.3% on the prior year, primarily driven by continuing strong sales of the Jaguar F-PACE, XE, Land Rover Discovery Sport, Range Rover and Evoque. By region, Jaguar Land Rover’s global retail sales performance for February showed growth in China (40.4%), North America (16.2%) and the UK (14.2%) but down slightly in Europe (1.6%) and in other overseas markets (6.5%)
Jaguar retail sales were 12,203 vehicles, up 81.1%, compared to February 2016, driven by the ongoing success of the Jaguar F-PACE as well as solid sales of XE. Furthermore, Land Rover retailed 28,775 vehicles in February 2017, down 6.4% compared to February 2016, primarily reflecting the run-out of the Land Rover Defender and Discovery, which was only partially offset by the introduction of the all-new Land Rover Discovery and continuing solid sales of the Discovery Sport, Range Rover and Range Rover Evoque.
