Obviously thrilled to receive the vehicle, HE Treadell stated that the Discovery Sport would be perfect for her as Britain's most senior representative in Malaysia. Whilst being capable and versatile, it is also a British product (Made at the Jaguar Land Rover plant in Halewood, Liverpool). Hence an extension of the nation she represents.

The Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.2 SD4 Ground Effect Edition by Project Kahn

5:19 AM 0

The 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport has not been launched in Malaysia as yet but I think that the small SUV will be popular with people here. Supposedly due here at the end of 2015,  It is the entry level lifestyle Land Rover (not including the rugged Defender) and promotes practicality over style unlike the Range Rover Evoque which is vice versa. Both are entry level but different. The Disco Sport has more space at the rear too compared to the 5 door Evoque. Again, practicality over style.



This is something by UK based Kahn Design. Their modded Land Rover Discovery Sport shows you the potential of how it can look with bigger wheels and a bit of extra cosmetics here and there. Check out the leather seats in the photos below folks.

Press Release

The team at Project Kahn has taken the new Land Rover Discovery Sport to another level.

Afzal Kahn wanted to make the SUV stand out in the crowded marketplace and did so by focusing on creating a light upgrade programme entitled the Ground Effect Edition.

This Corris Grey Discovery was given a set of 8.5" X 20"RS600 wheels complete in Silver Platinum with 275X40X20" tyres, Brake Callipers finished in Liquid Red and Kahn bonnet and tailgate lettering.

Inside, the driver and passengers are treated to a beautifully crafted Red Herringbone Leather interior. Designed and made in the UK, the package comprises full upholstery of the front and rear seats, including the headrests and armrests, in high quality quilted and perforated soft leather, door card centre and steering wheel centre hub in Alcantara, door card tops, dashboard, centre glove box in leather, vented foot pedals in machined aluminium and door entry sill plates in machined aluminium.

As with all Project Kahn vehicles, customers can alternatively commission their own colour scheme– the creative possibilities are endless. 

Please note, this particular vehicle is available for £46,875. To view the entire specification, please click the link below:

Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia previews the Discovery Sport

10:01 PM 0

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.



The good thing about the Disco Sport is that it will be available as a 5+2 seating arrangement. This means that families can put the seats and the space to good use with the two rear seats for occasional usage, comfortable for kids and small adults.

The design of the exterior has all the usual Land Rover and Range Rover cues and has that distinctive forward angled C pillar. It is very recognisable as what it is supposed to be, which is a Land Rover. The interior is filled with plastics, fabric and leather that is close to the same standard as something in Range Rover's entry level Evoque.


Yes, there is some overlap in terms of purpose between this car and the Range Rover Evoque but it can be said that in the Evoque, its main criteria is luxury over practicality and all-road capability. In the Disco Sport, it is the opposite - practicality over luxury and all-roadcapability. The iconic Defender is basically all-road capability over practicality and luxury. This technically explains the difference between buying a Land Rover and a Range Rover. They may intertwine, but are actually quite separate in nature.

Expect it to be launched very very soon as if you remember I posted spy shots of the Disco Sport over in Ara Damansara recently. I asked one of the presenters at the event and he mentioned that the SUVs were being put through their paces for dealer and sales personnel training.
