Tata Motors-owned Jaguar Land Rover has reported a 28 per cent increase in its global sales in August this year at 27,852 units.

The auto major's sales jumped 43 per cent in the China Region, 40 per cent in North America, 36 per cent in the UK, 35 per cent in Asia Pacific and 18 per cent in other overseas markets.

Commenting on the performance, JLR Group Sales Operations Director Phil Popham said: "August has proven to be another incredibly strong month for Jaguar Land Rover with sales growth from both our established and new model lines."

However, sales in Europe were down by 1 per cent due in large part to the run out of Range Rover Sport, it added without disclosing the absolute sales break-up of each region.

In August, Jaguar sold 5,405 units, up 92 per cent reflecting strong demand for all XF derivatives, JLR said, adding Land Rover sold 22,447 units, up 18 per cent.

"The Jaguar XJ and XF, the Range Rover Evoque and the Land Rover Freelander are up significantly whilst the new Range Rover and F-TYPE continue to attract new buyers," Popham added.
