Jaguar Land Rover roaring into 2013

Jaguar F-type has only been shown in public twice but there has been considerable interest with deposits already put down by excited buyers keen to get their hands on it once launched in 2013.

Jaguar Land Rover is going into 2013 with even more vigour than it did in 2012. After a year of highest ever global sales, the company is promising eight new or refreshed models in 2013.

The new F-type Jaguar and hybrid Range Rover are already common knowledge but others are not with global sales chief Phil Popham revealing the tantalising snippet that there will be a “significant” US launch of another new model.

Most likely is a new updated Range Rover Sport at the New York Show in late March.

Meanwhile, Popham promises: "These are very exciting times and we have eight new product actions to look forward to this year. We are talking about new body styles and the introduction of new lightweight materials and other innovations.

"We have already seen that customers react well to innovation and there have been 25,000 people in the US alone expressing an interest in the new F-type. Some 85 per cent of these are new to the brand and the age demographic is 10 years younger than our current customers."
