Land Rover Sales USA By Model: 2001-2015

A big country requires a big car

The USA is a key market for Land Rover. Not only in the last 15 years, over 627,000 units have been sold there, they are also larger models. While the Range Rover Sport (RRS), Range Rover and Discovery have all sold just over 160,000 each in this period, the Freelander only managed 69,000 units. It's replacement, the Discovery Sport (DS) is separated here but if added nearly 77,000 sales.

The RRS hit the ground running and has been the best selling model since 2006. 2015 was a record for the RRS as too the Range Rover. The Evoque has done well but cannot quite match those two biggest selling models. The DS will do better than the outgoing Freelander due to its larger size. The Discovery is a solid selling model, but didn't do so well for some years. It had a good 2015 however.

If you look at the 'Total' column, yellow is under 30,000, blue 30-49,000, pink 50-69,000 and green 70,000+. From that it is plain the last three years have been stellar for LR USA. A full year of DS sales should make 2016 another successful year.

Paraguay Sales By Brand : 2015


The Republic of Paraguay is a landlocked country in South America. Car sales fell 20% in 2015 according to the agency who disseminates such data, CADAM. Kia took the opportunity to cement its place at the top with just a 12% loss. Getting consistent, year to year statistics in depth is difficult so I have just kept it to one year's data.

Sales are spread across brands from many regions, with Chinese makes in abundance. The chart is coloured to highlight four origin categories.

Land Rover Sales Australia By Model: 1999-2012


LR sales peaked 'down under' in 1999. The Discovery was on a roll, accounting for 63% of LR sales. Then occurred a slide for six years, reaching a low point in 2005. The RR Sport help start a renaissance in '06 that has seen good growth until now.


Land Rover has been climbing quickly since 2009 with 2015 a record. The Discovery is a popular model in Australia and the 4,400 sales in 1999 was a huge figure, which will not be repeated for a single model. 2012 saw the Disco knocked off its perch as the best selling vehicle of the range. However, by 2014 it was back on top.

You can see in the chart below the effect the RR Sport had on its big brother from 2005, although between the two of them sales were much better. The RR has had a revival of late, as did the Defender. The latter nearly reached 1,000 sales in 2015.

I would imagine sales growth will continue with the Discovery Sport destined to be a winner. The big story of this 17 years is the Discovery, with over 40,000 registrations.
