Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Limited subsidiary Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) reported 82,400 wholesale units for Q2FY27, marking a 25% year-on-year increase. This growth reflects a recovery from the prior year's cyber incident, with significant volume gains in the UK and North America offsetting declines in China.
Wholesale volumes rose from 66,165 units in Q2FY26 to 82,400 in Q2FY27, a 24.5% expansion. The UK market led the recovery with 21,000 units, up 70% YoY from 12,327. North America contributed 27,100 units, up 52% YoY from 17,879. In contrast, China region wholesales fell to 6,100 from 11,370, impacted by the cessation of local CJLR production in June 2026.
Retail volumes presented a mixed picture, totaling 79,000 units, down 7% YoY from 85,371. While UK retail sales grew 23% to 18,500 and North America rose 8% to 24,800, China retail volumes dropped sharply to 6,300 from 10,604. The Middle East saw retail demand remain strong at 5,300 units despite supply disruptions affecting wholesales.

What the numbers show
A divergence exists between wholesale and retail trends. Wholesales increased 25% YoY as JLR replenished retailer inventories depleted by the previous year's cyber attack. However, total retail volumes declined 7% YoY, indicating that end-customer demand has not yet fully matched the inventory restocking pace. Notably, Jaguar retail volumes fell to 800 units from 6,910 in Q2FY26, reflecting the planned wind-down of outgoing models ahead of the new electric lineup launch.
Model mix and strategic updates
High-margin models continued to dominate the portfolio. Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Defender accounted for 77.6% of total wholesale volumes in Q2FY27, up from 76.7% in Q2FY26. Defender wholesales nearly doubled to 29,500 units from 21,300. The launch of the Jaguar Type 01 is scheduled for October 6, 2026, in New York. JLR will report its full financial results for the quarter in November 2026.
