Pessimism could have been the expected emotion as Honda (2021) and Opel/Vauxhall (2022) ceased passenger car manufacturing in the UK. However, an improved supply of semiconductors has more than compensated as the figures show. They are rounded with a few estimates.
Nissan: Production was up 36% and accounted for 36% of the total as well. The Qashqai made up 200,000 units, the Juke 100,000 and the Leaf 25,000.
Land Rover: The Range Rover and Range Rover Sport were the main contributors with about 130,000 made in total. The Evoque and Velar combined 60,000 and the balance was the Discovery Sport. All up, 23% of the total.
MINI: The hatch/cabrio and Clubman are made at Oxford with the former the main contributor but I don't have a mix breakdown. 1 in 5 of the total manufactured.
Toyota: It makes just one model, the Corolla. The Suzuki Swace is basically the same car and I estimated how many were made. They were then taken away from the Toyota figure. A 'could do better' 13% of all cars made in the UK.
Jaguar: About 75% of production is the F-Pace. The balance is F-Type, XF and XE in that order. Jaguar hasn't been handled well by JLR but its eventual move to luxury car territory is where the marque is being taken.
The rest: Bentley dropped a bit, Mclaren up a bit and Lotus went into warp mode with the Emira. Otherwise, it was steady as she goes.
