Jaguar Land Rover global sales up 17 pc in Sept

Tata Motors-owned Jaguar Land Rover on Thursday reported 17 per cent increase in its global sales in September this year at 43,181 units.

September sales were strong for Jaguar Land Rover in the China Region, up 46 per cent, North America up 6 per cent, the UK up 11 per cent, Asia Pacific up 29 per cent and other overseas markets, higher 15 per cent, the company said in a statement.

In September, Jaguar sold 8,462 units, up 35 per cent reflecting strong demand for all XF derivatives, JLR said, adding Land Rover sold 34,719 units, up 13 per cent.

Commenting on the performance, Jaguar Land Rover Group Sales Operations Director Andy Goss said: "This has been another record month for Jaguar and Land Rover with significant sales growth across all major regions".

The XF has delivered a September sales record thanks to an enhanced engine line-up and the introduction of the Sportbrake and the XJ continues to do well, particularly in China and North America, he added.
