Tata Motors-owned Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) on Monday released its 2020 sales figures, which reflect a considerable hit as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic but the company highlighted signs of recovery as sales in China remained strong.
For the calendar year 2020, Jaguar Land Rover retail sales were 425,974 vehicles, down 23.6 per cent on 2019, reflecting the industry impact of COVID-19 particularly in the first half of the year when plants were shut down for more than two months.
