Jaguar Land Rover posts record breaking sales in September

Jaguar Land Rover UK posted record September sales with retail figures up 13% as compared to last year over the same period.

Land Rover had its best ever September month of sales with 10,769 vehicles registered; up 11% on the same month last year and 13 per cent up year-to-date. Sales for the Land Rover Defender were up 30% and the sales figures of the new Range Rover too raked in a growth of 24%.

The Range Rover Evoque continues to be successful and the new Range Rover Sport has made a strong start with sales of 1,309 vehicles during what is only the second month of customer deliveries.

Jaguar too showed a growth of 19% car sales year-to-date, with a year on year increase across its model range of seven per cent. The F-TYPE convertible sports car, of which more than 1,000 are now with UK customers, is one highlight in a year which has seen a surge in sales of the Jaguar XF executive car and XJ luxury.

Jeremy Hicks, Jaguar Land Rover UK Managing Director, said “With the recent introduction of the all-new Range Rover Sport and F-TYPE coupled with the continued success of our well established models, we have seen more new customers than ever purchasing Jaguar Land Rover award-winning products. Indeed, our new 2014 model year offerings across both brands will be hitting showrooms shortly and will see us build on the successes of the 2013 range."
