Retail sales for the third quarter were 109,140 units (including the Chery Jaguar Land Rover China JV), up 29% compared to the same quarter a year ago and up 2% compared to the quarter ended 30 September 2023. Retail volumes were higher in all regions year-on-year: UK up 55%, Overseas up 49%, China up 28%, Europe up 27% and North America up 6%.

The order book continues to reflect strong demand for JLR products with 148k client orders at the end of the third quarter. This has reduced from 168k at the end of the second quarter, reflecting increased order fulfilment to clients and resulting in improved client waiting times for our highly desirable vehicles. Demand for Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Defender remains particularly strong, representing 76% of the order book.

JLR will report full financial results for Q3 FY24 at the beginning of February.
