Jaguar Land Rover, owned by Tata Motors, today, finished third in the luxury car segment of the Indian automobile industry in the year 2019. The British marque was able to sell more cars than Audi, thereby breaking into the top 3 slots for the first time in its sales history in the country. According to the statistics, JLR sold a total of 5,000 cars in India in 2019 while VW group company Audi was able to dispatch only 4,594 units in the same year.

What is even more heartening is the fact that JLR emerged as the only luxury car maker which has recorded an increase in sales in 2019. This is despite the fact that the luxury car segment has witnessed a decline of 13% as total sales of the segment fell from 40,430 units in 2018 to 35,274 units in 2019. In such a bleak scenario, JLR registered a growth of 9% and has been able to sell 5,000 units in 2019 compared to 4,596 units that it dispatched in 2018.

The year 2019 wasn’t proved eventful for the Audi as the company struggled with the declining demand and customers’ apathy. The company registered a decline of 29% in demand which is quite substantial and a bit alarming too. It remains to be seen how Audi will wrest this downfall and again get back on the growth track in the future.
