New Jaguar XJ - in demand!
In its first full month on sale the new Jaguar XJ has taken the market lead, outselling the Mercedes S Class by 38 percent and the BMW 7-Series by 70 percent.
The figures headline a strong sales story for Jaguar, which also boasts a sales increase of 50 percent for the XF.
"Like the XF, 60 per cent of people that have ordered an XJ are new to the Jaguar brand, with owners of premium German brands proving to be the keenest to buy an XJ. This highlights just how well the XJ has been received among Britain's leading businessmen," says Geoff Cousins, Jaguar's MD.
"The modern Jaguar showroom is now complete, with the new XJ joining the XF and XK in UK showrooms during May. We have got off to a great start, with more than 600 new XJs already on the road in the UK and customer deliveries now starting in earnest."
In June 2010 the XF outsold all models of the Audi A6 and BMW 5-series here in the UK, says the company as 995 XFs were sold compared to 968 Audi A6s and 937 BMW 5s.
In the first half of this year 6741 XFs have been sold in the UK, up 47.6 per cent from 2009's half year figure.
