Sales of the all-new, all-wheel drive X-TYPE sedan (2,763) paced Jaguar's record results. Land Rover dealers also reported record January sales of 3,502, up 133 percent. January was the third month in a row of record sales at Land Rover. Sales of the all-new Freelander, which debuted in late November, were 1,190. Volvo's January sales were equal to a year ago.
