The Tata Motors-owned Jaguar Land Rover, the UK's leading manufacturer of premium luxury vehicles, sold a total of 62,314 vehicles in the first six months of 2016, up 21% on the same period last year. This translates into one Jaguar Land Rover vehicle leaving a UK showroom every 4 minutes in 2016 so far.
Commenting on the performance, Jeremy Hicks, Jaguar Land Rover UK Managing Director said: “This is a fantastic result and sends out a signal of intent in the current uncertain climate: Jaguar Land Rover is very much open for business. It has been a fantastic performance so far in 2016, with both brands contributing to our success. The award-winning Jaguar XE continues to appeal to customers with its class-leading offering, selling 1,023 vehicles in June and the F-Pace enjoyed another impressive month. For Land Rover, the Discovery Sport’s versatile package sees it retail 1,597 vehicles in June, up 31% on June 2015 while the Range Rover Sport continues to set the benchmark in its sector, retailing 975 in June up 62% on June 2015.”
