Andy Goss, Jaguar Land Rover Group Sales Operations Director, mentioned the company observed "record-breaking sales in both the UK and Europe" which was backed up by a strong performance in North America. He added, "Jaguar has seen unprecedented growth driven by the successful introduction of the Jaguar FPACE as well as continued strong sales of the XE. Land Rover has delivered a solid performance, particularly for the Discovery Sport, which is now the brand's best-selling vehicle."
This comes as an interesting announcement, considering the fears of business' prospects post Brexit. Jaguar Land Rover quelled any concerns about Britain's exit from the European Union, saying, "it was business as usual" for the company. It also added that the company remains committed to all its manufacturing sites and investment decisions.
