Jaguar Land Rover
Jaguar Land Rover Canada reported June sales for both brands of 681 units, a 25 percent increase from June 2013 and the third best sales month in history. Jaguar sales were 163 units, down 2 units from June, 2013 and up 27 percent in year-to-date sales. Land Rover sales were 518 units, up 36 percent from June 2013 for its best June ever.

Volvo Cars
Volvo Cars of North America, LLC, (VCNA) reported U.S. sales of 5,983 units for the month of June. Year-to-date sales are down 10 percent versus the first six months of 2013.

The top seller for June was the S60 sports sedan with 2,337 units sold, and the XC60 crossover finished the month right behind with 2,180 units sold. New this year, the V60 sportswagon is in dealerships now and combines the driving dynamics of a luxury sports sedan with the space and utility to support an active lifestyle. Thanks to Volvo’s new Drive-E engine family, the V60 features best-in-class fuel economy, with the T5 Drive-E FWD achieving 37 highway / 25 city / 29 combined mpg. The V60 is also offered with two of Volvo’s existing engines, the V60 T5 AWD and the V60 T6 R-Design AWD.
