Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia (JLRM), a joint venture between Sime Darby Motors and SISMA Auto, announced it would consolidate its import and retail operations for the two Tata Motors owned British car brands in Malaysia.

JLRM claimed its Ara Damansara site was already the largest Jaguar Land Rover 4S facility in southeast Asia. The company also said it would continue to run its northern region retail operations from Penang.
The company said the plan would improve its service capability and drive long term growth for the brands.
Managing director Syed Ahmad Muzri Syed Faiz said the consolidation would strengthen ability to serve customers while optimising retail and distribution costs and overhead.
JLRM also plans to invest in technology and gradually deploy digitalisation over the next few years to improve its service capacity.
