The city centre apartments that come with their own Jaguar SUV

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Residents in a luxury city centre apartment block can now enjoy access to an electric Jaguar car included with their rent. People calling Moda, Angel Gardens home will be able to book a Jaguar I-Pace SUV for up to 48 hours.

It will be paid for by residents’ rents, which will cover insurance, charging costs, valeting and maintenance. Jaguar says it will ‘closely monitor the success of this initiative’, and if it’s successful, will ‘consider expanding across major cities around the world’.

The car company’s Managing Director, Rawdon Glover, added the firm is ‘exploring alternatives to direct car ownership’. READ MORE: Get the latest on Manchester city centre here.

In 2019, the first 50 residents to move into the 26-storey tower on Angel Square were given an annual Metrolink pass, if they had to commute out of zone one regularly.
