Jaguar Production (Nation & Model) : 2016-18


The data below is not from Jaguar but is the closest that I can get to the true amount. It would be fair to say it is close to the official figures. The vehicle range is assembled in three countries, the UK (53%), Austria  (31%) and China (16%). Global sales are added for comparison.

The F-Pace sales have held up well. The E-Pace has had little impact and being a completely new model it can have a burst and slump scenario, which hasn't happened in this case. Cars are on a downward plunge but that is a trend that sees no end.


TOTAL PRODUCTION

Year/Model 18 17 16

Grand Total 178,376 158,976 177,379

F-Pace 56,957 72,759 66,532

E-Pace 48,766 261

XE 25,793 31,004 48,915

XF 25,509 38,236 38,345

XJ 5,081 8,309 11,269



Global Sales 180,833 178,601 148,730



China now makes about the same number of XE/XF as the UK does, which shows that the traditional car is still quite popular in that nation. The F-Type is doing well enough and the XJ is in run out mode. It will be interesting to see what replaces it.

Land Rover Production (Nation & Model) : 2016-18


The data below is not from LR so is the closest that I can get to the true amount. It would be fair to say it isn't that far off the mark. The vehicle range is assembled in three countries, the UK (89%), China (10%) and Brazil (1%). Global sales are added for comparison.

The two largest models in terms of volume for 2018 dropped by some margin as they were both in need of a new model/make over, which they both got during 2019. 2020 should reveal the benefit in full. The RR Sport and Range Rover have a consistency of sales that any company would love to have. The Discovery is a fine vehicle but the latest model is under performing.

All of the models were made in the UK but that will change with the plant in Slovakia coming on line. The Discovery and new Defender will be assembled at that facility, but not the UK. The Discovery Sport and Evoque are made in all three countries.
