J
aguar Land Rover has reported a 22 per cent growth in new car registrations for
2015 – a record for the UK market. The luxury car maker sold a total
of 100,787 vehicles (compared with 82,845 in 2014), making the UK the number one market for the company. Land Rover UK registrations
reached a new all-time high of 76,837 vehicles, an increase of 19 per cent and surpassing last year’s figure of 64,544 vehicles. Jaguar was up 30 per cent with 23,950 registrations in 2015, versus 18,401 vehicles in 2014. Major new model introductions,
the launch of the new Ingenium engine and a commitment to grow fleet and business operations are key catalysts for this growth. Jeremy Hicks, managing director,
Jaguar Land Rover UK, said: “Selling over 100,000 cars in a year is a remarkable achievement. We have our strongest, most exciting product line-up to date and a single minded focus to get these amazing cars to more customers than ever.
“2015 saw Jaguar Land Rover
reaffirm its position as the UK’s largest premium automotive manufacturer with further investment, growth and job creation. This year we will bring more new products, open more retailers and continue to grow our Fleet and Business operation, we are all very excited about 2016.”
‘Our strongest, most exciting product line-up to date’
Land Rover’s record sales saw three models – the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Evoque – all establish new UK annual registration records growing by 11 per cent, 19 per cent and 11 per cent respectively. Of these, the Range Rover
Evoque became the fastest selling Land Rover ever, with 20,802 vehicles registered. In January 2015 the Land Rover Discovery Sport went on sale and quickly achieved strong sales momentum with 16,484 UK registrations in 2015.
Fore!: Belfry director of golf Ian Knox on the new course
The Ryder Cup has returned to the Belfry – in the shape of a new Mini golf course. The 12-hole ‘Ryder Legends’ layout features nine famous holes from
Ryder Cup history, along with three bonus holes, to bring even more fun to the experience. The course even includes a replica of the legendary risk-and-reward 10th hole from The Brabazon at The Belfry, challenging players to go for glory. David Edwards, resort director at The Belfry, said: “The Ryder
Legends Mini Golf Course is a great addition for the resort. As the world’s only four-time host, we wanted to honour our Ryder Cup heritage, but do so in a way that would be enjoyable and inclusive for everyone. Whether you are a golfing purist, or a beginner just looking for a bit of fun, the new course provides another activity that we can offer to guests when they visit the resort, and as always, we wanted to ensure that it was completed to the highest of standards.”
