Jaguar Land Rover South Africa now offers its clients the convenience and flexibility of more than one retail model.
Through a frictionless, modern luxury journey, clients now have the option of buying new vehicles online, face-to-face at a retailer or a combination of both.
Together with the selection of the latest vehicles available in stock at their most convenient retailer, clients can now also access a much wider variety of immediately available and upcoming Range Rover, Discovery, Defender and Jaguar vehicles from any Jaguar Land Rover retailer in the country. All vehicles in stock are visible through new, dedicated websites for the Jaguar and Land Rover brands respectively.
These sites offer the ability to reserve vehicles, apply for finance pre-approvals, request trade-in value estimates and complete purchase transactions all at a time and place convenient to them. This wider choice and flexibility still return to clients’ preferred retailer of choice to facilitate delivery of their new Jaguar or Land Rover.
It is also possible to view and order vehicles set for future manufacturing dates. Upon approved reservation, Jaguar Land Rover will keep clients updated with step-by-step information on the build commencement, production progress, shipping schedules, expected arrival in market and final delivery dates.
Total costs are broken down with full transparency and easy to understand listings for base vehicle prices, options and delivery fees. Any payable CO2 taxes are built into base prices (with average CO2 emission figures visible separately), and delivery fees are now standardised per vehicle nameplate.
The new Jaguar and Land Rover e-commerce platforms will exist alongside the traditional brand websites in South Africa. While the current jaguar.co.za and landrover.co.za sites are the best places to explore various model lines, features, technologies, vehicle configurators and news, the new e-commerce sites at buy.landrover.co.za and buy.jaguar.co.za offer listings for every new vehicle in the market together with those scheduled for future production.
The sites also display technical specifications, standard features and options lists for each of the vehicles listed and provide links to schedule test drives of similar models, apply for finance pre-approvals, input trade-in details and contact retailers for enquiries.
