Setting the pace for the day was the opening remarks by the General Manager, Marketing and Corporate Communications, Coscharis Group in person of Abiona Babarinde who officially welcomed all the media partners to the official unveil of the new Jaguar F-PACE.

You can choose between full dynamic performance and maximizing fuel economy. JaguarDrive 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. At the same time, F-PACE is 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”.

RENAULT KWID

 

The Renault Kwid is a compact car with the robustness and look of an SUV. It brings together the practicality of a compact car with the specifications of a genuine SUV: a sturdy and striking design, as well as economy and technological advances. Besides, its front grille, 14” wheel rims and door mirror shells give it a distinctive look when compared to other cars in its class.

Renault KWID’s interior space is a masterful blend of modernity and ergonomics. The car is roomy and comfortable for driver and passengers alike. And, for added convenience, Renault KWID is equipped with numerous storage spaces and a spacious boot (290 litres), making day-to-day life easier.

 

RENAULT KOLEOS

 

Renault Koleos is an SUV specially designed to broaden your outlook. An unprecedented combination of power and refinement, its assertive design pushes the boundaries of what is expected and expresses itself with bold style. Its confident stature commands respect. An SUV with broad shoulders and muscular side panels, its robust front end, broad tyres and large wheelbase give it the look of a partner that can rise to any challenge. The Renault Koleos takes you further, whichever path you take, whatever your quest.

 

The Renault Koleos can be described as the art of drawing attention. It embodies new aspirations. Charismatic, with a sense of detail and personality enhanced by its sleek appearance and athletic curves. Everything in the Koleos is designed for your driving pleasure. The ergonomics of the centre console, which puts the main controls at your fingertips, the technologies controlled by the R-LINK 2 multimedia system with its 8.7-inch touchscreen, the personalisation of the TFT instrument panel and the innovative driver assistance tools all help create an unprecedented experience combining pleasure and ease on board.

The design of the Koleos and the choice of materials will meet all of your expectations. The finish of the overstitched leather, the satin finish of the chrome inserts and the immaculate trim of the doors provide a level of comfort that is worthy of a large saloon. The grab handles on either side of the centre console and the raised driving position let you know that you are in a real SUV.

 

The Koleos allows you to immerse yourself in a rich acoustic experience, as intense as a live concert, with the Bose® audio system. Configure the features of the large, connected R-LINK 2 touch screen, taking full control of the vehicle, multimedia, navigation, telephone and driving assistance functions. The generous amount of space has been dedicated to your comfort and that of your passengers. Your seat hugs you whilst the sunroof opens up new perspectives. You experience the spirit of adventure that comes with SUVs from the comfort of your “cocoon”, both in front and in the rear. To make your life easier, Renault has fitted the New Koleos with Remote Engine Start. Programme it with the time that you want your vehicle to start and by the time you step into your car, the temperature inside will be perfect. Welcome to a new kind of comfort with programmable settings.

 

 

Drive the New Koleos and experience the e­ffect of its all-terrain ALL MODE 4×4-i technology; its engine, connected to its new X-Tronic gearbox; and its numerous driver assistance technologies—not to mention the unique quality of its Bose® sound system. It’s the kind of performance that will always take you further, be it on an urban adventure or o­ the beaten track.

 

There are two variants of the Renault Koleos available in the Nigerian market to select from, ZEN which is the 2WD CVT, 5 speed automatic transmission and INTENSE, which is the 4WD CVT, 5 speed automatic transmission.

Coscharis Motors Plc, a foremost automobile dealer and sole distributor of Ford vehicles in Nigeria is offering free service to her customers who purchase a brand new Ford car. Although, itself still reeling from the effect of the global economic doldrums caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, Coscharis Motors Plc still finds it expedient to support her Ford customers in their drive towards navigating out of the economic recession. This, the auto dealer hopes to achieve through her Free Service Pack offer. Announcing the offer, Felix Mahan who is the Brand Manager, Ford, at Coscharis Motors said, “This is our token to support our teaming Ford customers by minimizing

 

 

 the cost of vehicle ownership for those who have refused to buckle under the weight of the global economic recession, occasioned by the Covid-19 pandemic, but have resolved to go further and vie for opportunities to help pull their businesses and by extension our nation, out of the proverbial economic woods.”

The free service offer is available at all Coscharis Motors Plc showrooms and offices spread throughout the country and all Quick Lane centers alike. The promo which started on September 1st is valid till December 31st 2020. Any customer who purchases a brand new Ford car from Coscharis Motors during the promo period gets a free service pack which covers vehicle service parts and labour, for 12 months or 16,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.

Mahan further said, “At Coscharis Motors, we don’t just sell the car, we back it up with world class after-sales service. All our service centers are manned by certified professional technicians equipped with latest tools and using only genuine OEM parts and lubricants. These are the people who will administer this free service offer and other services as required by our valued customers, to keep their vehicle working optimally throughout its life span. 

This is not the first time that Coscharis is supporting her new car customers with free after-sales services. Recall that in the recent past, Coscharis offered her customers a free service pack called Extended Service Plan (ESP) which offered free service for four years or 120,000km. The ESP helped many Ford owners to drastically minimize the cost of ownership of their Ford cars in those days.

Coscharis Group recently upgraded its Corporate and Brand Portfolio’s digital platforms in order to reposition its mode of doing business now and in the nearest future especially given business trends in the post COVID 19 era in Nigeria. Subsequently, the company has broadened its social media channels and interactivity of its respective websites to be more customer-centric.

The Group’s objective is to bridge the gap that is being created by the expectation that a chunk of our business relationship management will be transacted through digital strategies going forward.

According to Abiona Babarinde, General Manager, Marketing & Corporate Communications, Coscharis Group, it is imperative that any business planning to remain relevant must key into the digital divide especially to be able to reach the growing aspiration generation on the one hand and the now teeming target market traversing into the digital platform given the COVID-19 saga.

Furthermore, the General Manager stated that these channels are geared toward enabling customers, prospects, and aspirers to engage with our brands from the comfort of their homes. 

To ensure engagement, the self-help feature has been upgraded on the corporate website to enable visitors remotely reach out to us and receive immediate feedback. In addition, each brand now has its bespoke website aside the Coscharis group website. This makes tailored searches easier especially since you can link back and forth from the website to the social media page. 

Customers, prospects and aspirers are encouraged to follow these handles as we intend to push a lot of sales, service and lifestyle offers via these platforms. “It is an opportunity for followers to get fresh updates and rewards from our respective brands as well as useful management insights from the President of Coscharis Group, Dr Cosmas Maduka.”

Given the market positioning of our brands, we have also discovered that there are so many misleading and fraudulent social media handles related to these brands, hence the organization has decided to update all its official accounts on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook for now.

Sequel to Dr Cosmas Maduka’s emergence as the winner of Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2020 award for the West Africa region, he officially joined the “EY World Entrepreneur of the Year” Class of 2020 along with 46 other exceptional entrepreneurs from 41 countries across the globe.

The global event, originally scheduled to hold as a live audience participatory event in Carlo, Monaco, held as a first ever live virtual EY award ceremony in partnership with CNBC due to the travel restrictions occasioned by the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic across the world.

The award is not only designed to celebrate and honour the contributions and achievements of successful entrepreneurs but also serves to inspire today’s successful entrepreneurs, so they can share their incredible entrepreneurial stories stated Ashish Bakhshi, Leader at EY (West Africa).

While Dr. Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw from India, emerged the global stage award winner, Dr Maduka was acclaimed to have made the top list of the highest ranked award winners in EY’s People’s Choice with viewers reaching 1.7m across 124 countries and still growing as at the award day. According to Stasia Mitchell, Entrepreneurship Leader at EY (Global Growth Markets), “this was the first time we asked the people to vote on the award winner who most inspired them. The voting was meant to be a fun, engaging way to get to know the class of 2020 better”.

He stated further it was no surprise that Dr Maduka and the Coscharis brand stood out so clearly. “This continues to show how inspiring you and your story are to so many around the world and it says a lot about how valuable your mission is. I can’t wait to meet you in person.”

An obviously elated Dr. Cosmas Maduka, President/CEO Coscharis Group, says, “I have utmost respect for all the finalists from different countries because each of us has a unique story to tell that resonates with the audience. It must have been a very difficult journey for the judges to arrive at their decision and we have to respect it because they have their criteria set. At the end of the day, if I had a choice, I would have given the global award to Dr. Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw still like the judges did.  It is really not easy to contend among men and she must have done something much better than the rest of us that stood her out in the mind of the judges.  I therefore congratulate her and all the finalists this year.”
