Selected Jaguar Land Rover cars are now one million baht (RM126,513) cheaper in Thailand. Authorised importer for the two British brands, Inchcape Thailand, has slashed prices on the Jaguar F-Type Coupe, Land Rover Discovery, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar in the kingdom.
The JLR distributor said that the move was to make its offerings more affordable, but the Bangkok Post sees it as a counter-attack on Porsche, which has recently reduced prices of its SUVs in Thailand.
After the price revision, the Range Rover Sport plug-in hybrid costs 6.3 million baht (RM796,877) – that’s exactly what rich Thais currently shell out for the Cayenne E-Hybrid, which commanded 7.5 million baht (RM948,664) last month.
The newer Range Rover Velar now starts from 4.9 million baht (RM619,765). Up north, the Velar is only available with the base Ingenium 2.0 litre diesel engine (180 PS, 430 Nm). With the new sticker, the stylish SUV is 100,000 baht more expensive than the smaller Porsche Macan with a 2.0L petrol engine. Meanwhile, the 3.0L V6 diesel-powered Land Rover Discovery can now be had for 5.5 million baht (RM695,589).
The only car in the Jaguar camp to see its price cut is the F-Type Coupe 2.0L, which is now tagged at six million baht (RM758,802). The Post speculates that the BMW M2 Competition – with 410 hp/550 Nm from a turbo inline-six – will be launched later this month for between 6-6.5 million baht.
Before you sigh away, we’re still getting a better deal here in Malaysia (surprise, surprise!), where the F-Type 2.0L goes for RM575,800. Also, the Velar is cheaper here and comes with the more desirable petrol engine. While it’s against common perception, “Malaysia cheaper” has been the case for some time now in the premium segment, compared to our neighbour.

Wow! These luxury brands can reduce by Rm 100,000 and still make profits. That is consumer power reducing prices instead of just yapping to demand price reduction but towards no benefit at all, just tin kosong making noise.
Rm100K down yet no 30% reduction in car prices as promised
I am not interested in other countries reducing car prices or their selected luxury brands.
I am only interested when Malaysia is going to reduce car price because our prices are one of the highest in the world yet, our pay packet is so low (due to 60 yrs of corruption)
Previous Government promised to lower car prices by 30%. 5 years we waited but car prices went higher and higher and higher.
I hope we don’t get cheated again
Incoming PeroTiga. You have already voted to get cheated. So?
Malaysia Jaguar still cheaper , so no problemo.
Thai very expensive but I still prefer Thai system because all their people are equal. They treat all their rakyat fairly and the same
Agreed. At there, either you’re with them or against them, and if anyone are against them, they will make those dissenters disappear, hence solving the problem of inequality. We should have followed the same way.
History Bender,
Neighbor’s lawn is always greener.
Thai laws are treating every individual equally bad if you happen to be in the low income group regardless of your race or creed.
Nice.

No worries. Basher will still say our car prices most exp in the world. His dreamworld that is. Lolz!
Yeah, land of smiles – after ripping you off. Thais are not really the friendly nation you think especially when dealing with other Asean nations, what more with their car prices
