The premium luxury vehicles manufacturer’s sales during the month under review rose across all major markets such as China (74 per cent), Asia Pacific (46 per cent), the U.K. (33 per cent), North America (24 per cent) and Europe (10 per cent).
“With one of the best month’s sales performances ever, both Jaguar and Land Rover brands have had a very strong start to the year.
