July 02, (THEWILL) – Coscharis Motors Plc, franchise of BMW, Jaguar, LandRover, Ford, Mini, Morris Garages and other brands in the country, has unveiled its all-new Range Rover into the Nigerian market.
The launch of the luxury Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) was held recently at Coscharis Head Office, Awoyaya area of Lagos.
Speaking during the media reveal of the all-new Range Rover, General Manager, Marketing & Corporate Communications of Coscharis, Mr Abiona Babarinde, said the Range Rover SV, is the latest and one of the most desirable Range Rover ever created by Land Rover.
Although the New Range had earlier been premiered globally, Babarinde noted that the launch has become necessary, because this is the first time it is arriving in the local market.
Analysing some of the special features of the new Range Rover, Marketing Manager, Coscharis Group, Mr Cletus Aregbeshola, said that the new Range Rover has a distinctive design detail resulting in a form which speaks to modernity, adding that the vehicle is the most desirable Range Rover which represents the pinnacle of progressive luxury.
Stating that the Range Rover is well defined by aesthetic grace, sophistication and refinement, Aregbeshola pointed out that the reductive nature of the design is free from superfluous Range Rover ever created.
Aregbeshola agreed that Range Rover wouldn’t have anticipated designing a Range Rover with 7 seats four years ago, but that milestone has been successfully achieved with the new Range Rover.
Even though the vehicle is equipped with 7 seats, the Marketing Manager said that such addition does not affect both the driver’s legroom and rear legroom.
“It has a choice of Standard or Long Wheelbase body designs provides elevated
luxury for five or seven adults, all delivered, while retaining the unmistakable Range Rover profile and Command Driving position.
“Range Rover’s imposing face communicates a character unparalleled. And, for the first time on Range Rover, 23″ wheels enhance the vehicle’s presence and supreme stature, contrasted by its reductive, modern detail”, he added.
Also explaining the driving dynamics, Jaguar LandRover Service Manager, Joseph Gwetsuro, said that the vehicle is provided with a new 530PS (390kW) 4.4-litre V8 that produces maximum torque of 750Nm.
Gwetsuro added that it takes the Range Rover from 0-100km/h (0-60mph) in 4,6 (4,4) seconds.
The new 530PS (390kW) 4.4-litre V8 produces maximum torque of 750Nm.
“With Dynamic Launch engaged, he declared that the vehicle has cleaner, more efficient mild hybrid technology available with a range of diesel and petrol engines.
“Range Rover features a modern and sophisticated interior, underpinned by its impeccable reductive nature, tactile materials and an intuitive approach to relevant technology. No detail has been overlooked. Nothing is for show.”
According to him, the new Range Rover is readily available in all Coscharis showrooms across the country with prices hovering between N70 million to N200 million.
