British auto-maker Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), owned by India's Tata Motors, sold 29,893 vehicles in November, a 14 per cent rise compared with the same month a year ago.

The luxury car manufacturer sold 3,24,184 vehicles during year (11 months ending November), a 32-per cent rise from the same period a year ago.

JLR's November sales rose in almost every major market with sales up in China (43 per cent), Asia Pacific (26 per cent), the U.K. (15 per cent) and Europe (12 per cent). In North America, sales were down 7 per cent, reflecting model year changeover effects and increased competitive conditions, the British firm said in a statement.

Since the start of the year, JLR has seen strong sales performance across all of its major markets, with increases in China (73 per cent), Asia Pacific (37 per cent), the U.K. (20 per cent), Europe (37 per cent) and North America (12 per cent).

''Jaguar XF is starting to gain traction in the market place, while the continued success of the Range Rover Sport and Evoque is encouraging as we are launching our new Range Rover,'' Phil Popham, director of Group Sales Operations at JLR said in a statement.

In November, Land Rover sold 25,862 vehicles, up 17 per cent compared with the previous year, with increased sales of Range Rover Evoque (39 per cent), Range Rover Sport (3 per cent), Land Rover Discovery (2 per cent) and Freelander (53 per cent). Since the start of the year, Land Rover has sold more than 2,75,000 units, up 38 per cent, compared with the same period last year.

Jaguar sold 4,031 vehicles in November (down 5 per cent) in anticipation of the introduction of the 2013 Model Year XF and XJ model ranges, including all-wheel drive and new engine options, across most markets at the end of the year. In the first 11 months of the year, Jaguar sold 48,908 vehicles (up by 7 per cent), which reflects the strong performance of Jaguar XF.
