All-New Jaguar Line Up Leads To 2010 Sales Success

GAYDON, UNITED KINGDOM – January 10, 2011: In the year Jaguar completed its revitalized product line-up with the new XJ, it has seen positive sales growth from all three of its current models the XK, XF and XJ.

Geoff Cousins, Managing Director, Jaguar UK said: "The all-new XJ has achieved segment leadership despite only going on sale in May 2010. Meanwhile, our volume model the XF, which was launched in 2008, has seen its best ever sales year and is up 25 per cent versus 2009. The XK is up 15 per cent in 2010 - double that of sector growth."

He added: "Desirable new models, competitive offers and a cut-through TV advertising campaign for XF and XJ are helping to drive retail sales.

"We have also undertaken some incredibly successful partnerships in 2010, most notably with the ECB and the Ashes-winning cricket team. Since we started our association with the team they have been on a winning streak and the response from dealers and customers has been incredibly positive. We look forward to welcoming them home."
