Evoque and Discovery Sport Are the Star Performers in Land Rover’s Stellar March Sales

Jaguar Land Rover achieved better retail sales numbers for March compared to the same month last year. The company sold 25,127 vehicles last month, up by 16% from last year. According to their report, a Land Rover vehicle was sold in the UK every 2 minutes last month. The Range Rover Evoque and the Land Rover Discover Sport became the top-selling models.

The company has sold 35,444 vehicles in the first three months of 2016, which is a 23% increase compared to the same period of the previous year.

UK managing director Jeremy Hicks said “This has been a fantastic March for Jaguar Land Rover, with very strong performance from both brands, cementing our position as Britain’s largest automotive manufacturer.

“Yet again, our success has been spearheaded by continued customer demand for the all-conquering Range Rover Evoque and Land Rover Discovery Sport.”

“In the UK alone, Jaguar sold almost 6,000 vehicles in March and increased sales by 76% in the first quarter, with the XE and the all-new XF appealing to more and more drivers.”

Aside from stellar sales performance, Hicks also cited other achievements in terms of recognition.

“Our cars have performed terrifically with customers, but we’ve also been recognised by a series of major awards,” he said.

“Most recently the Jaguar XF was crowned BBC Top Gear’s Saloon Car of the Year, having been named Best Executive Car at the Fleet News Awards and Best Director’s Car at the SME Company Car Awards in the last month alone.

“Meanwhile, the Discovery Sport was named BBC Top Gear’s Family Car of the Year and it was praised for its versatility, practicality and deep-rooted capability.

“The rest of ​2016 promises ​to be equally exciting, with the start of sales of the Range Rover Evoque Convertible and the Jaguar F-PACE, along with further all-new and refreshed vehicles from both brands coming to market.

“For us, a large part of our continued growth will come in fleet and we are already reaching a turning point with a range of affordable and class-leading fuel economy cars appealing to the widest group of customers.”
