Jaguar Land Rover, the UK's leading manufacturer of premium luxury vehicles retailed 37,137 vehicles in the month of January, compared to 39,106 vehicles sold in January 2014. The reduction is more than explained by the sales run out of the Land Rover Freelander model while retails of the new Land Rover Discovery Sport will start this month in some markets.
Land Rover delivered 31,632 vehicles in January, down 474 units or 1%. Excluding Freelander, Land Rover retail sales were up 10% with sales up for Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Evoque and Land Rover Discovery models. Jaguar retailed 5,505 vehicles, down 1,495 units in advance of the launch of the new Jaguar XE and other new forthcoming Jaguar products.

There is great customer anticipation as we gear up for the introduction of the Jaguar XE and the Land Rover Discovery Sport in the spring."
