Jaguar Land Rover's retail sales climb 6.1% in May

Jaguar Land Rover Ltd., a subsidiary of Indian automotive company Tata Motors Ltd., posted a 6.1% gain year over year in May car sales to a total of 48,281 units during the month.

The increase was driven by new models, including the Range Rover Velar, Land Rover Discovery and Jaguar E-PACE, the company said in a statement.

Retail sales for the month grew 24.0% in overseas markets, 20.9% in the U.K. and 16.7% in North America. Sales in China and Europe decreased by 8.1% and 8.7%, respectively.

Jaguar's retail sales in May were up by 6.6% to 14,507 units while Land Rover sold a total of 33,774 units, a 6.0% gain from the prior-year period.

Chief Commercial Officer Felix Brautigam said the sales decline in China was temporary and that with import tariff cuts announced in May, the company expects a sales increase in the medium term.
