Jaguar Land Rover has once again been named the largest automotive manufacturer in the U.K., accounting for more than 30 percent of all domestic car production last year. The news follows an announcement from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) that U.K. car manufacturers set a new record in 2016, producing 1,727,471 vehicles.
Jaguar Land Rover's three vehicle manufacturing plants in Liverpool and the West Midlands increased the company's U.K. production output by eight percent over the previous year to 544,401. Jaguar Land Rover vehicles account for five of the top 10 British best-sellers globally. The latest figures further demonstrate the dramatic transformation undergone by Jaguar Land Rover, which has increased production from its British plants by more than 240 percent since 2009, when total annual production stood at 158,000 units.
The company's record year was driven by its unrelenting investment plan, with 15 all new and significantly enhanced models hitting the market. The Jaguar F-PACE - the brand's highest-volume model - propelled Jaguar production forward by 67 percent, while the Range Rover Evoque, regained the position of Land Rover's highest-volume car following the introduction of the Convertible.
