It's supposed to operate alongside the Panhard CRAB and the Griffon VBMR in French Army service.

French defense contractor Nexter has unveiled a prototype of its new Jaguar armored car. Designed to act as both a reconnaissance vehicle and tank killer, the Jaguar is even more heavily armed than the U.S. Army’s Bradley Fighting Vehicle. The vehicle was unveiled before the start of the June Eurosatory 2018 defense trade show.

The ERBC Jaguar (Engin Blindé de Reconnaissance et de Combat) is a 6x6 armored car designed for both French Army reconnaissance and anti-tank units. The Jaguar is designed to replace three different vehicles in French service: the AMX-10RC reconnaissance vehicle armed with a 105-millimeter gun, ERC 90 Sagaie reconnaissance vehicles , and the VAB 'Mephisto' tank destroyer armed with HOT anti-tank guided missiles.

French forces to get new batch of Jaguar, Griffon armored vehicles

So far the Army has received 105 Griffons and earlier this month took two of them to Djibouti, in the Horn of Africa, for hot-weather testing ahead of a deployment to Mali.

The mention of the Serval is interesting. A little more detail on it here.

Here's a (somewhat incomplete) overview of the Scorpion, or Synergie du Contact Renforcé par la Polyvalence et l’Infovalorisation, program in general: https://www.army-technology.com/features/scorpion-new-vehicles-for-a-new-era/

Une première tranche de véhicules SCORPION pour l'armée luxembourgeoise - FOB - Forces Operations Blog

Annoncé depuis plus d'un an, l'achat par le Grand-Duché de Luxembourg d'un premier lot de véhicules SCORPION est désormais sur les rails. Une manoeuvre réalisée par l'entremise de la Belgique, qui dispose déjà de liens étroits avec l'industrie française grâce au partenariat CaMo.

An update from the French La Tribune

Des Jaguar et des Serval bientôt dans la campagne irlandaise

Petit client de l'armement français depuis de nombreuses années, l'Irlande devrait prochainement renouveler sa flotte armée vieillissante et acheter des blindés à KNDS France (Jaguar, Serval, Griffon) et des canons Caesar pour un montant colossal.

Ireland is mainly interested in Jaguars (armoured reconnaissance and combat) and Servals (light multi-role armored), but also in some Griffon (multi-roll troop transport) and Caesar artillery systems. That is an order divided into several tranches and estimated in total at more than 1 billion euros.
These vehicles are already in service in the army, all from the famous French program Scorpion, launched in the years 2010 to transform the ground forces into a digitized, interconnected force capable of collaborative combat.

Intergovernmental agreement​

The contract could be formalized during a visit to Dublin, in preparation, of the Minister of the Armed Forces, Catherine Vautrin. A window of fire is emerging at the end of March, early April, according to concordant sources. Dublin wishes to sign this contract under a G to G (government-to-government) agreement while drawing on the CaMo contractualization model set up between France and Belgium (same vehicles, same employment doctrine, same unit organization, same digital architecture).

That would be a good choice for Ireland. Low maintenance vehicles, low impact on the infrastructure.
 
Latest from Irish coverage is that the department briefings are disputing the price tag that the French media is reporting, but confirming the deal is close to being signed off, “around half a dozen” Caesars being directly mentioned along with name checking of the other vehicles without giving any numbers for any of them.
