Coscharis Motors has announced special offers for buyers of Jaguar products.

Its President, Dr Cosmas Maduka said the firm is  offering special prices, free insurance and a two-year service plan for Jaguar products for one month to guests at the launch.

Maduka spoke at the unveiling of the Jaguar’s first Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) – the F-PACE – at the Eko Hotel and Suites in Victoria Island, Lagos.

The F-PACE is a performance SUV designed to offer the agility, responsiveness and refinement that Jaguars are renowned for, together with unrivalled dynamics and versatility.

Developed using Jaguar’s Lightweight aluminium architecture, the F-PACE combines purity of line, surface and proportion with F-TYPE-inspired features, such as the powerful rear haunches, fender vents and distinctive tail light graphics.

The bold front grille and the muscular bonnet hint at the performance potential of its supercharged V6 petrol engines. Elements, such as slender full-LED headlights, forged 22-inch wheels and short front overhang carry the design vision of the C-X17 concept through to production.

The All-New F-PACE sits five occupants in comfort.The interior is a blend of premium materials and finishes, exquisite detailing, luxuries, such as heated, electrically reclining rear seats, and cutting-edge technologies including the InControl Touch Pro infotainment system and 12.3-inch HD virtual instrument cluster.

Coscharis Motors General Manager, Sales Ufuoma Umukoro,  quoting Ian Callum, Director of Design, Jaguar, said: “By remaining absolutely true to our design principles the F-PACE is immediately recognisable as a Jaguar. It offers all of the interior space you would expect – and more – but because of our disciplined approach to surfaces, proportions, and purity of line, we have designed what I consider to be the most balanced, most attractive vehicle in its class.”

The lightweight aluminium architecture gave the design and engineering teams the ideal starting point. It was created from the outset as a modular structure, so the wheels can be positioned  where they are needed to deliver the proportions, dynamics, and practicality essential for a performance SUV.

The wheelbase and track are not shared with any other Jaguar. At 4,731mm long and with a 2,874mm wheelbase, the F-PACE offers the sleek profile and short front overhang characteristic of Jaguar design together with an exceptionally spacious interior.

Rear knee-room is class-leading and the luggage compartment has up to 650 litres* of storage space.

The light, stiff body structure comprises 80 per cent aluminium, and is the only aluminium-intensive monocoque in the segment. Additional weight savings come from the composite tailgate and magnesium for parts such as the cross-car beam.

With the 280kW supercharged V6 petrol engine from the F-TYPE under its sculpted aluminium bonnet, the SUV can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 5.5 seconds before reaching an electronically-limited top speed of 250km/h.

Coscharis Motors, the leading automobile company and an accredited dealer of the Ford brand in Nigeria, has offered her Ford customers free diagnosis of the major parts of their vehicle that bothers on basic safety and comfort in her ongoing Real deals around the wheel promo.

The promo offers free check-up on all the vehicle parts around the wheel including, brake pads, shoes, calipers, shocks, struts, ball joints, wheel bearings, among others. If the result of the diagnosis discloses any defect, and the customer opts to repair the vehicle, he gets an automatic 20 per cent discount on the cost of repairs, which includes the cost of replacement parts and labour.

Explaining the rationale behind the promo, Mr. Josiah Samuel, Group Managing Director, Coscharis Group said: “We are encouraged by the level of patronage of our Ford brand of vehicles by our esteemed customers and therefore feel obliged to add value to the services we are rendering to them, as a way of saying thank you.” Explaining further Samuel said “Real deals around the wheel is an aftersales safety check campaign, which provides an opportunity for our existing Ford customers to ensure that their brakes, calipers, ball joints, wheel bearings are in top condition as they prepare to embark on business or leisure trips this season. We had ran this campaign earlier this year, but some of our customers requested that we re-run it this season as it will be very helpful for them, thus the re-run.”

When asked about the level of preparedness of Coscharis Service Centres for the anticipated influx of vehicles into their facilities, Mr Vasant Rele, the General Manager, Coscharis Ford After-Sales Services, said the service centres are all installed with modern diagnostic equipments and manned by factory trained, award-winning technicians who are willing and able to deliver all the promises offered in the ‘Real Deal Around The Wheel promo.’

He stated that customers have been thronging into their facilities nation-wide and leaving with testimonials of satisfaction concerning “our services.” He emphasised that Coscharis Service Centres are committed to a culture of continuous improvement in service delivery in order to delight customers and “fulfill our promise to render quality service at all times.”

Coscharis Motors is making it easier for non-customer who drives any of the company’s brand vehicles to enjoy free registration by dropping the registration fee to zero. This means anyone can bring his or her BMW, MINI, Jaguar, Land Rover, MG, Ford or Rolls – Royce vehicle for service without any registration fee.

According to the Group Managing Director, Josiah Samuel, “this is to give the opportunity to users of the various automobile brands we represent in Nigeria that did not purchase their vehicle from our dealership to experience our world class after sales offerings. As we had over the years invested in both our technicians and facilities to meet the manufacturer’s specifications, our after sales charges for this category of users that ordinarily would have attracted the registration fees is now waived to accommodate everyone till end of the year.”

However, these vehicles will have to be checked and evaluated prior to accepting them for repairs.

The essence of waiving the registration fee, Samuel said, is to equally help control the negative experiences of owners of the brands in the hands of quack technicians lacking the requisite skill and programming equipments needed for quality repairs which ultimately give negative perception about the brand image.

He reiterated Coscharis’ commitment to help ease customers and prospects vehicle ownership and maintenance over a reasonable period of time.

The free registration is complemented with free routine vehicle checks to diagnose the total state of the vehicle.

For new vehicle buyers, there is also consideration for free insurance and free registration across all our brands.
