Turning Point

JAGUAR LAND ROVER IS ON A ROLL. THE PATIENCE of parent company Tata Motors—and its willingness to invest in new product—means the two British luxury brands are healthier than ever.

Jaguar, a latecomer to the SUV party with its new F-Pace, is playing catch-up as it moves away from relying on increasingly unfashionable sedans and niche-market sports cars. But both face near-term challenges.

When he ran out of floor space, 48-year-old Rey (last name withheld on request) started stacking the surplus stock on hoists.
