For the first time in its 59-year history, Land Rover has reached the 200,000 milestone with vehicles 205,717 being sold from January to November. For the month of November, the global sales increased by 27% over the same period last year and several markets like China, France, Russia and Spain recorded their best ever November.
This puts the company on course for its third successive record sales year. In 2006, the 4×4 manufacturer sold 192,500 vehicles and 184,000 vehicles in 2005.
Land Rover didn’t mention the forecasts for the next year but its Managing Director, Phil Popham, said “Confidence is high – we’re firmly in the black with innovative new products that will continue Land Rover’s sustainable development.“
The British offroad manufacturer will likely reveal a concept car at the Detroit Motor Show in order to show its green credentials and where the brand is going over the coming years.
