The company points to their efforts of meeting the specific wishes of the Chinese market for the success of the brand. This is practically the move of most car manufacturers in the world today in an attempt to get a chunk ofthe sales from the seconds biggest car market in the world today.

According to Jaguar Land Rover, it is the roll out of the 6 cylinder 3.0 Jaguar XJ aimed at the elites of the business sector of the market which played a major factor for the success of the bran. Jaguar was able to deliver 5,976 units in 2011 in China while Land Rover improved its sales figures by 54% and delivered 36,087 vehicles.

Jaguar Land Rover established 100 dealerships all over China before 2011 ended but the company claims that some customers still has to wait for about a year for their vehicles to be delivered because of the very high demand for some of their units like the recently released Evoque.

The British car manufacturer, owned by Tata Motors of India since 2008 has forecasted to double their sales in Hong Kong by 2017. Last year, they were able to deliver 385 units in Hong Kong and opened a show room which will specifically address the needs of Land Rover fans.

Jaguar is also working on a compact sedan but this one will not be hitting the markets until after a few years. The earliest possible date for this new Jaguar vehicle is 2014.

One unadvantage to Jaguar’s game is its V8 5.0L engine that are currently under the hood of the XF, XK, and the XJ. There are new powerplants on the work but are not expected to be done for several years.

The current owner of Jaguar, Tata Motors, will be injecting around $2.45 billion per year on the brand and its sibling Land Rover in the next 60 months in order to improve the production facilities, the line of engines, and come up with new products.

The new sports car following the lines of the C-X16 concept will most likely have a two seat configuration. This new ride is expected to go on sale as early as next year. The 2-door coupe will test the grounds with competitors like the Porsche Boxster. Jaguar sees this new sports car as the successor to the timeless E-Type that was produced half a century ago. The concept vehicle has a V-6 under its long hood. The performance numbers have not yet revealed by Jaguar.

Jaguar is also planning to have a production version of the hybrid C-X75 concept that went to the Paris show last year. The production run for this supercar will start by 2013 thru 2015. This limited run will only roll out 250 units with a price tag of $1.2 to $1.5 million each.

The move will make Land Rover and Jaguar units a lot lighter and will enjoy fuel efficiency and mileage because of the change. Tata Motors which owns the two brands confirmed the move in the annual report of the company.

Tata makes the move following the negative performance of the tag team brands in 2008 which translates to a $1.1 billion loss. The lack of profit is blamed on the high cost of developing new models amid the global economic crisis. The other factors cited were the high expenses during production and the low demand of the market for luxury vehicles.

The use of aluminum for the panels of the new vehicle will actually mean higher cost of production. The company though is hoping that the efficiency gains will overshadow the cost. They are hoping to convince the buying public which has been clinging for greener rides.

The XK and XJ models of the Jaguar already use aluminum with its design – but it is new to the Land Rover Cars. The use of the material will allow designers to improve on the aerodynamics, performance, and safety of the future cars. Aluminum will also allow for the construction of a car body will lesser joints and parts which ultimately leads to a stiffer design.
