Coscharis Motors Plc has unveiled an all-new Jaguar F-Pace, a luxury performance sport utility vehicle that brings together special design, efficiency and intuitive technologies.

The vehicle is coming with unique features that will make its driving comfortable and enjoyable at a relaxed pace, without compromising its high-speed dynamics.

The media launch of the glamorous 2021 edition of the Jaguar model took place on Wednesday at the Lagos head office of the company on Lekki-Epe Expressway.

Speaking on the new car, General Manager, Marketing and Corporate Communications, Coscharis Group, Abiona Babarinde, said, “We are delighted as the exclusive representative of the Jaguar Land Rover brand in Nigeria over the years to once again introduce the all-new Jaguar F-Pace into the Nigeria market at this point in time.

“The luxury performance SUV brings together award-winning design, Jaguar performance and intuitive technologies to make every journey feel extraordinary.

“Riding on the acceptance of the SUV variant of the Jaguar brand by Nigerians gives us lots of confidence that this new Jaguar F Pace will equally do well like the previous models.

“More importantly for Jaguar enthusiasts, Coscharis Motors aside from the unique aftersales deliverables that come with our sales offerings, this time around has come up with series of vehicle finance schemes in partnership with reputable finance institutions including our sister firm, Coscharis Mobility, to ease the purchase of this luxury item without much of financial stress. This scheme guarantees ownership with as low as 10 per cent to 30 per cent down payment of the principal amount of the vehicle and you are god to go with your dream vehicle.”

Deputy General Manager, Sales for the Jaguar Land Rover, Ufuoma Umukoro, showcasing the unique selling points of the new F-Pace to the media team present, said, “The new Jaguar F-Pace which comes in two modes S and R- Dynamic, delivers a tranquil sanctuary for you and your passengers. Premium materials, new colourways and improved seat comfort are found throughout the all-new interior.”

The new F-Pace features an eight speed automatic transmission with an improved torque and acceleration; CO2 emissions are reduced to 170g/km with fuel economy now down to 7.3/100km.

Its transmission and dynamics systems have also benefitted from incremental tweaks. You can choose between full dynamic performance and maximizing fuel economy.

Jaguar Drive Control performs gearshifts more quickly in Dynamic Mode and earlier up-shifts in Eco Mode. Rain, mud Mode switches to more gentle progress in low-grip conditions. The new F-Pace is said to be now more comfortable and enjoyable to drive at a relaxed pace, without compromising its high-speed dynamics, further underlining the new model’s duality of purpose.

He stated further that “for hassle-free repairs and replacements, customers can enjoy the reassurance of our standard five-year manufacturer’s warranty and five-year complimentary service, which is a first in the luxury segment”.

The event was rounded up with a facility tour of the Jaguar Land Rover workshop where the aftersales team delivers the ‘peace of mind’ for customers in maintaining their favorite luxury automobile.

Driving performance

A statement by Jaguar Land Rover’s Marketing Manager, Cletus Aregbesola, says the vehicle’s steering system is enhanced with a new electronic power-assistance system delivering greater immediacy, providing a heightened connection between the vehicle and driver.

“Jaguar All-Wheel Drive with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics is a predictive all-wheel drive system. While others become active only after the car loses traction, our system pre-emptively shifts torque to the front wheels to maintain control and composure before grip is lost,” the statement says.

Exterior

The seamless bonnet, deeper grille, new double ‘J’ blade signature headlights and wider vents all add to Jaguar F‑PACE’s dynamic stance and on-road presence. The new integrated exhaust finishers compliment the redesigned rear bumper, further highlighting the purposeful stance.

Interior

It comes with Active road noise cancellation, thanks to the innovative technology from audio experts Meridian Audio⁷; as well as reduced levels of vibration.

The F‑Pace newly redesigned interior features Luxtec or leather‑wrapped surfaces, offering an improved ride comfort.

Wireless charging

Optional wireless device charging with phone signal booster is said to let one charge compatible smartphones without the need for wires or a charging dock. While in the car, one’s phone will use the vehicle’s antenna for improved signal and clearer calls.

Driver assistance

Jaguar F-Pace has been built with driver assistance features that help make getting around town and parking easier and driving on motorways more enjoyable.
