Sales of the redesigned Range Rover, launched at the beginning of the year, have passed 22,000 while Jaguar F-Type sales reached 3,000. The sportscar goes on sale in China this month.
Sales chief Phil Popham said: “It is very encouraging to see both our Jaguar and Land Rover brands delivering strong sales performances across our 178 markets. New model introductions have been incredibly well received with the all-new Range Rover retailing more than 22,000 units since launch.
“The F-Type is off to an excellent start with new customers.”
Jaguar’s half year sales reached 37,636, up 29%, with sales in the US in June climbing 59%, the best June performance there since 2006, helping to offset a 5% decline last month in Europe.
Land Rover’s half-year sales were up 11% at 172,554 with Asia Pacific leading the way posting growth of 28%, the UK 15% and North America 10%. June sales grew more modestly by 2% to 27,165 which Land Rover claimed was due partly to the run out of the old Range Rover Sport.
