At the Malaysian Leg of 'The Art of Performance' Jaguar Driving Experience - Driving the Jaguar F-Pace 2.0

I had the opportunity to attend and participate in the Malaysian leg of Jaguar's The Art of Performance driving experience roadshow. This is part of the marque's Southeast Asian tour where it showcases how a Jaguar car performs. Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia took the opportunity to display the upcoming Jaguar F-Pace 2.0 SUV. It should be launched in Malaysia very soon and brings a more road tax affordable sporting SUV to the plate.

Malaysian Teams Do Well in the 2017 Land Rover 4x4 In Schools Technology Challenge World Final

Recently, over 150 talented students from 16 countries from all over the world attended the Land Rover 4x4 in Schools Technology Challenge World Final at Yas  Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi to participate in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) education competition.

JAGUAR LAND ROVER MALAYSIA Set To Launch The Range Rover Velar By the Second Quarter of 2018

There are two SUVs from Jaguar Land Rover that I am eagerly awaiting their arrival to our Malaysian shores. They are the recently previewed Land Rover Discovery (at the recent Malaysia Autoshow 2017) and the recently launched Range Rover Velar, which would be launched early in the second quarter of 2018. The Velar is the latest Range Rover which sits between the entry level Range Rover Evoque and the Range Rover Sport.

The Land Rover Experience 2017 Malaysian Qualification Rounds - 8th to the 10th September 2017 at Desa Parkcity - Head over to view and maybe try out for Peru, South America

I was at the opening of the Malaysian qualification round of the Land Rover Experience Tour 2017 to Peru, South America. It was quite an interesting little event that showcases the capabilities of the Land Rover vehicles. Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia (JLRM) had provided the Range Rover Evoque and the Land Rover Discovery Sport to use in the try outs as well as go through man made mobile terrains that simulate off-road terrain.

Jaguar Land Rover and Gorillaz Seek New Engineering Talent - Participate in the Goril 1 az App Challenge and you may get to work in Jaguar Land Rover

Jaguar Land Rover has teamed up with the 'virtual' (when they first appeared) band Gorillaz ! Definitely that young vibe going on instead of ye olde fuddy duddy image of Jaguars of old. What they've done is use a new Gorillaz mixed reality app as an innovative recruitment tool to find fresh new talent in the field of programming. Why so? It's because cars from this day and age use a lot of computers to make sure everything runs well. There are over a million lines of code inside each Jaguar.

LAND ROVER DEFENDER LIMITED EDITION LAUNCHED IN MALAYSIA

Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia (JLRM) has launched a Land Rover Defencer Limited Edition here today. This is essentially a tribute to the truly iconic 4x4 that will no longer be in production by the end of this year. A truly bittersweet moment, as it is sad to see an icon leave us but it also leaves us in anticipation of its successor. 

Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia previews the Discovery Sport

Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia has finally previewed the 2015 Land  Rover Discovery Sport here in Malaysia. The preview was part of a four day customer and media experience event held at the Sepang F1 Circuit 4x4 track area. The Discovery Sport represents the third generation of compact SUV produced by Land Rover and effectively replaces the Freelander as Land Rover's entry level SUV.

We Malaysians will most probably be getting the 240hp 2.0liter turbocharged engine based on the Ford Ecoboost and the 2.2liter DuraTorq TDCI engine with about 190ps and a whole lot more torque than the petrol powered engine. Both will be sold with ZF's nine speed automatic transmission on a haldex type all-wheel drive setup (although there is a more efficient Active Driveline system on option but I doubt will be offered here). There is no low range transfer box with either all wheel drive system, to counter this limitation, the ZF 9-HP features a special very low ratio first gear which is only used when the vehicle is off-road or otherwise needed, for on-road use, the vehicle will normally start in second gear.
