Call it beginner luck or whatever, as soon as Ford offloaded the British marque Jaguar, the cat has leaped by posting its first sales increase in the last two years. Europe registered a 69.6% increase in sales in April mainly due to the hotselling XF sedan. The XF sedan has got rave review from the press and the enthusiasts alike. Jaguar already has around 18,000 customers in-line waiting for the new 4-door, which has given the sales a big lift. The ‘XF effect’ can be seen on other Jaguar models too, with the X type and the XJ selling reasonably.

The future looks reasonably good for Jaguar as the big cat has found a nice home in Tata’s. What remains to be seen is if this is a one off spike in sales or a sign of things changing for good, finally for Jaguar.
