Jaguar Land Rover, a UK-based car manufacturer that is a wholly owned subsidiary of India-based Tata Motors Group, has begun 2013 as it finished 2012, on a high.
In January the company sold 34,877 vehicles, a 32 percent increase on January 2012. The biggest improvement was in China, with an increase of 74 percent, but the company also managed a 10 percent year-on-year improvement in Europe, where it is traditionally strong. New records for January were set in a number of markets, including the UK, USA and Germany.
Jaguar Land Rover’s director of group sales operations, Phil Popham, said, ‘With one of the best month’s sales performances ever, both Jaguar and Land Rover brands have had a very strong start to the year. This reflects the introduction of the all-new Range Rover as well as the 2013 Model Year Jaguar XF and XJ models.’
