JLR records sales boost as it prioritises most popular models
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has reported a strong boost in sales after increasing production of its most profitable models. Wholesale volumes for the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport rose by 22% and 46% respectively — a clear sign that demand for the brand’s luxury SUVs remains incredibly strong.
This growth has been supported by the opening of a new body shop at the Solihull plant, helping JLR ramp up production and focus on its value‑over‑volume strategy. Alongside the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, the Land Rover Defender continues to be a major contributor to the brand’s success.
Strong Demand for the Range Rover Electric
Interest in the upcoming Range Rover Electric is also soaring, with tens of thousands of customers already on the waiting list. This early demand suggests the model could become one of the most sought‑after luxury EVs when it launches.

- £661 million profit before tax and exceptional items in the latest quarter
- A 9.2% EBIT margin
- £4.2 billion in global cash reserves
These figures highlight the strength of JLR’s product lineup and the success of its strategy to focus on high‑demand, high‑margin models.
Looking Ahead: The Next Phase of JLR’s Strategy
JLR says it is now entering the next phase of its Reimagine strategy, which will bring a new generation of modern luxury electric vehicles to market. The brand aims to deliver a premium ownership experience while continuing to address challenges such as supply constraints and shifting market conditions.
