Jaguar Land Rover posts Q1 2026 dealer sales up 61%
Business
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) just pulled off a major comeback after last year's cyberattack, with dealer sales jumping 61% to 95,300 vehicles in the first quarter of 2026.
Retail sales also rose by more than 16%.
Most factories are back up and running, but their Solihull plant was temporarily paused in production due to a parts issue involving a supplier.
JLR overall sales down about 14%
Even with this recent boost, JLR's overall sales are still lower than last year: retail and dealer numbers dropped about 14%, and UK dealer sales fell by more than 23%.
The situation in China is especially tough, with nearly 30% drop in sales there thanks to tariffs and shifting market trends.
Discontinued Jaguar models have not helped either.
