JLR has reported its wholesale and retail sales for the second quarter of FY27, the three months ended 30 September 2026. Volumes reflect improvements in the UK and Overseas markets, while conditions remain challenging in China.
In the Middle East, ongoing disruption affected wholesale volumes quarter-on-quarter (QoQ), but retail volumes indicate that underlying demand remains strong. Volumes in the US remain steady and continue to represent about a third of total wholesales.
The highly anticipated launch of Jaguar Type 01 in New York on 6 October followed a planned wind-down of outgoing Jaguar models over the past year.
Wholesale volumes improved significantly year-on-year (YoY), reflecting the recovery from last year’s cyber incident. The impact of this incident on retail volumes was felt later in FY26, as retailer inventories became depleted in subsequent months.
Retail volumes in China were largely affected by the cessation, in June 2026, of vehicles produced locally by the CJLR joint venture.
The combined Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Defender model mix in Q2 FY27 accounted for 77.6% of total wholesale volumes, up from 76.7% in Q2 FY26.
