Jaguar: Luxury Car Sharing
At the launch of the pilot project, residents of luxury apartments in Manchester and Leeds can take advantage of the extraordinary service. According to Jaguar Management Director Rawdon Glower, the all-electric I-Pace is the stylish variant of car-sharing for the urban environment and specifically appeals to the generation of customers who do not value vehicle ownership but still want to lead a luxurious, all-electric lifestyle.
"As we evolve into a company for fully electric luxury vehicles by 2025, at Jaguar we are carefully considering every aspect of our customer journey," said Glower. "In doing so, we are exploring alternatives to direct car ownership and offering a customer-centric mobility solution with on-demand concierge access to the all-electric I-Pace through this program. Future Jaguar customers are constantly seeking alternatives to the traditional vehicle purchase. We will closely monitor the success of this project and consider expanding it to larger cities around the world."
Sharing with Comprehensive Service
As part of the partnership with luxury apartment group Moda Living, Jaguar has selected two apartment complexes: Angel Gardens in Manchester and New York Square in Leeds. Residents who use the new service can book an I-Pace for up to 48 hours through the associated Jaguar booking platform. The key handover and support are provided by the respective location's 24-hour concierge team. The booking includes insurance, charging costs, valet parking service, and maintenance.
What does it mean?
Jaguar sees the offer for wealthy customers as part of its transformation process towards becoming a leading provider of luxury experiences. It's a pity that average people will never get to enjoy the worry-free package for electric car sharing.
