Today, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) announced a noteworthy increase in sales for the first quarter of FY24, reporting the positive impact of improvements and other supply constraints on the automotive sector. JLR’s wholesale volumes, excluding Chery Jaguar Land Rover China JV, reached 93,253 units in the first quarter, marking a 30% surge compared to the same period a year ago.
Notwithstanding a slight 1% drop from the previous quarter ending March 2023, mainly due to shipping schedules, JLR’s production showcased a promising quarter-on-quarter increase. The retail sales also presented a robust picture, with 101,994 units sold in the first quarter, representing a significant 29% growth from Q1 FY23 with marginal changes compared to the previous quarter. The figures indicate a substantial rise in retail volumes across multiple regions: Overseas (up 83%), North America (up 42%), China (up 40%), and the UK (up 6%). However, Europe maintained a steady pace.
