***From Crown Jaguar:  The Pascarella family has bought a total of 7 luxury vehicles, 4 of them Jaguars, which includes the all-new 2019 Jaguar I-Pace, not 6 Jaguars as Mr. Pascarella previously stated during his interview with Jaguar North America.***

The Crown Automotive Group dealership has sold the very first Jaguar I-Pace in the US to its loyal customers Mark and Holly Pascarella of Lakewood Ranch, Fla. The family, which consists of the couple and their three daughters, took delivery of the luxury electric SUV on Monday, October 15, 2018; the all-new 2019 I-Pace is not yet available for purchase anywhere in the US.

St. Petersburg, Fla. (October 24, 2018) - Crown Jaguar has officially sold Jaguar North America's first I-Pace to Mark and Holly Pascarella of Lakewood Ranch, Florida. Although it’s not yet available for purchase, Crown Jaguar will be among the select group of dealerships in the nation to carry the all-new 2019 I-Pace as part of the manufacturer’s prestigious group of SV (special vehicle) dealers.

In a recent release announcing Jaguar North America's First Jaguar I-Pace Customer, Mr. Pascarella is asked a series of questions on his history with Jaguar vehicles, expectations of the I-Pace, experience with EV technology, and his experience with the Jaguar SV retailer that sold him the brand new 2019 I-Pace: Crown Jaguar.

"Crown Jaguar, in St. Petersburg has been phenomenal for us. The service I get from them is fantastic, and that made a big difference, too. They’re 35 miles from my house but I’ve bought six Jaguar vehicles from them including this I-PACE just because of the service level I get from those guys. I trust them and feel good about what they do. I know they’re going to take care of me," said Pascarella.

The 2019 I-Pace breaks from tradition by being the first completely electric-driven vehicle available from the British automotive manufacturer. Its development has been delayed to fully implement key EV aspects, but it is now finally ready for sale to the general public and will be available in the near future at Crown Jaguar.

 “We are deeply honored to we have customers like Mr. and Mrs. Pascarella and their daughters, whom we’ve gotten to know over the years. The fact that they continue to trust us with their luxury buying experience is not, and will never be taken for granted. It is also very humbling to have been given the opportunity to sell Jaguar’s very first I-Pace in the US,” said Michal Niezbecki, general manager of Crown Jaguar.

According to Jaguar, the all-new 2019 I-Pace establishes a new mid-size premium battery electric vehicle (BEV) segment.
