海角视频 car brand Jaguar Land Rover has maintained its year-on-year sales volume in the 海角视频 by selling more than 118,000 vehicles during 2017.
The West Midlands manufacturer said it had sold 118,213 cars during 2017 which it called "a strong result" against the backdrop of a 海角视频 car market which saw a fall of 5.6 per cent last year.
The figure for 2017 is down slightly on 2016's results when it sold 118,290 vehicles in the 海角视频.
Jaguar Land Rover is headquartered in Coventry and has major manufacturing operations in Birmingham, Solihull and near Wolverhampton.
It said more Jaguars had been sold in the 海角视频 in 2017 than ever before at 35,541 and this figure was more than the number sold in 2011 and 2012 combined.
Land Rover enjoyed a strong year, the manufacturer said, with the new Discovery and Range Rover Velar helping the brand to 82,672 sales in the 海角视频.
Globally, the company sold 621,109 vehicles, up by 6.5 per cent on 2016, comprising 178,601 Jaguars and 442,508 Land Rovers.
The company claimed momentum would continue in 2018 following recent launch of the Jaguar E-Pace, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport PHEVs and arrival of the all-electric Jaguar I-Pace next year.

"We are delighted with this performance amid what has undoubtedly been a tough marketplace with ongoing Brexit negotiations and continued misconceptions around clean, modern diesel technology causing consumer uncertainty during 2017."
Andy Goss, group sales operations director, added: "We have once again delivered year-on-year sales increases thanks to a world-class product range and new models such as the E-Pace and Velar, as well as China-specific models such as the XFL.
