The Jaguar I-PACE Concept, Tuesday, made a dazzling appearance at the Geneva International Motor Show with its European motor show debut in a new colour – Photon Red. This came as strong growth in sales recorded in China (40.4%) contributed immensely to Jaguar Land Rover’s global retail sales performance for February with support from North America (16.2%) and the UK (14.2%), according to a statement issued by the luxury carmaker.
Sales were however slightly down in Europe (1.6%) and in other overseas markets (6.5%). Nonetheless, the group was able to record its best February sales ever with Jaguar retail sales of 12,203 vehicles, up 81.1%, compared to February 2016, driven by the ongoing success of the Jaguar F-PACE as well as solid sales of XE.
Land Rover, on its part, retailed 28,775 vehicles in February 2017, down 6.4% compared to February 2016, primarily reflecting the run-out of the Land Rover Defender and Discovery which was only partially offset by the introduction of the all-new Land Rover Discovery and continuing solid sales of the Discovery Sport, Range Rover and Range Rover Evoque.
