Retail sales for the Fourth Quarter (ended 31 March 2017) were 179,509 vehicles, up 13% on the same quarter a year ago, and March sales reached 90,838 units, up 21% on March 2016.Retail sales for the financial year were up year-on-year in China (32%), North America (24%), the UK (16%) and Europe (13%), whilst sales in Overseas markets were down 6%.
Retail sales for Jaguar were a record 172,848 vehicles in the financial year, up 83% compared to the prior year, primarily driven by the successful introduction of the F-PACE and solid sales of the XE and XF (including the long wheel base XFL from the China joint venture). Jaguar retails in the Fourth Quarter were 53,972 vehicles, up 81% on the same quarter last year, and were 27,820 units in the month of March, up 83% compared to March 2016.
Land Rover retailed 431,161 vehicles this financial year, up 1% compared to last year, as continuing strong sales of the Discovery Sport, Evoque and Range Rover Sport were offset by the run-out of Defender and Discovery. Sales of the all-new Discovery began in February with 4,862 units retailed since its launch. Retail sales for Land Rover for the Fourth Quarter were 125,537 units, down 2.7% from a year ago, and retails in March were 63,018 vehicles, up 4.8% compared to March 2016.
Last month Land Rover launched the Velar, a new addition to the Range Rover family, positioned between Evoque and Range Rover Sport, which will go on sale later this year.
