Tata Motors owned Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has posted retail sales of 40,385 units for April which is down 2.3 percent from the same month of last year.
Andy Goss, JLR Group Sales Operations Director has said in a statement that “A small decrease in sales was seen due to two factors. In the UK, customers purchased vehicles before the increase in vehicle tax on April 1.”
He further said that the run out of the previous Discovery model has also accounted for a year-on-year decline in Land Rover sales.
According to him the sales will increase from this month as the all-new Discovery model continues to go on sale across the world, particularly in China and North America, two of JLR’s biggest markets.”
