Jaguar-Land Rover is on a roll with its sales having increased by 25 per cent versus the same period last year. Commenting on the November performance, Andy Goss, JLR Group Sales Operations Director said, "November has been another solid month in what has so far, been a great year for JLR. Our continued sales success is a testament to our sustained investment in new and exciting products which are driving growth internationally and attracting new customers to our brands.”

In November, Jaguar sold 6,244 vehicles up 55 per cent reflecting particularly strong demand for the XJ and all XF derivatives, up 62 per cent and 39 per cent respectively. In the period January 2013 to November 2013, Jaguar sold 69,655 vehicles up 42 per cent with increases in each major region.

On the other hand, Land Rover sold 31,159 vehicles, up 20 per cent with strong performances from all models in the range: Defender went up 27 per cent and Range Rover Evoque went up 10 per cent. Range Rover and Range Rover Sport continue to sell well across all markets.
