Jaguar Land Rover has sold 210,190 vehicles during the first six months of 2013, an increase of 14 per cent versus the same period last year. This result was supported by a positive performance in June with sales up 7 per cent globally.

"It is very encouraging to see both our Jaguar and Land Rover brands delivering strong sales performances across our 178 markets.

Jaguar sold 37,636 vehicles in the first six months of 2013, up 29 per cent. This reflects the impact of the all-new Jaguar F-Type which has sold almost 3,000 units since launch and sales of XF which, at 24,099 units reflects the positive impact of the 3.0 V6 and 2.0 4-cylinder petrol engines, AWD and Sportbrake derivatives.
