The new Freelander 8 is a large SUV measuring 5.1 meters, surpassing the Defender 110 in length. It is born from the alliance between Jaguar Land Rover and Chery, and although its design clearly resembles a British off-roader, the vehicle does not bear the brand's logo. It offers three rows of seats for six passengers and is intended for a global launch.
Platform and technical development of the new SUV 🚗
The Freelander 8 sits on a large platform that allows for a generous wheelbase, optimizing interior space. Versions destined for Europe already comply with the continent's regulations, suggesting adaptation work in engines and safety systems. Although power data has not been revealed, it is expected to offer plug-in hybrid and electric options to compete in the global market.
The distant cousin dressed to the nines 😄
The Freelander 8 is like that cousin who looks a lot like a famous relative but isn't allowed to use the surname. It measures more than a Defender 110, but does not carry its badge. However, it promises to carry six people with British-Chinese style. At least, if someone asks, you can say it's a Land Rover without the logo.
