Freelander, the Chery Jaguar Land Rover joint venture, has officially launched the Freelander 8, the extended-range electric vehicle, in three variants: Pro, Max, and Max+, with the starting price of 309,900 yuan (US$46,520) on September 3, 2026. Now the brand has officially started the delivery for the five-seat trim.
The delivery for the six-seater variant began on September 19, 2026, just two weeks after the launch, but for the five-seat trim, the start of delivery took around two months. Reportedly, after the launch, more than 5,000 firm orders were received, but the actual sale number for both six-seaters and five-seaters is yet to be made public.
The wheelbase is above 3 metres.
The length, width and height of the Freelander 8 are 5118 mm, 2050 mm and 1898 mm, respectively, whose wheelbase measures 3040 mm. Freelander has also revealed the boot space for five- and six-seaters. The cargo space behind the second row for the five-seater is 935 litres, which is expandable up to 2,330 litres.
For the six-seater, the maximum cargo space is 1,188 litres. There’s even a tow hook for both five- and six-seaters, which can tow up to 2,000 kg. Freelander says that the turning radius is 5.15 metres, ground clearance is up to 270 mm with the double chamber air suspension, and wading depth is 900 mm.
Equipped with premium features.
The Freelander 8 inside the cabin gets the “L·A·D·Y” Zero-Gravity Front Passenger Seat that ensures premium comfort; for the better second-row comfort, it also has 10-point massage seats, power-adjustable backrests, and a 5.98-inch armrest control touchscreen. Other feature highlights are a 10-litre built-in refrigerator and two 50-watt wireless phone charging pads.
Instead of an instrument cluster, it gets a 46.3-Inch 8K Remote Display on the windscreen that shows all the driving data. At the centre of the dashboard, we can see the 15.6-inch central touchscreen infotainment system. These screens run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8397 chip. The cabin also gets a streaming rear-view mirror, which shows rear traffic clearly.
Based on the E0X platform.
The Freelander 8 is built on Chery’s high-voltage E0X platform, getting two electric motors, one on each axle, and an internal combustion engine. The ICE is a four-cylinder turbocharged engine that delivers 115 kW (154 hp). The front and rear e-motors put out 360 kW and 250 kW, respectively, whose combined power output is 610 kW.
It has also been revealed officially that its 0 to 100 km/h acceleration timing is 4.6 seconds. Among the revealed details, it also appears that the wheel-end torque is 8,000 Nm at the rear wheels via a 2-speed rear reducer with low gear. Thanks to the 35.7-metre 6-piston callipers and 404 mm rotors, the braking distance at the speed of 100 kmph is 35.7 metres.
The 60.3 kWh CATL Freevoy ternary NMC battery pack is available beneath the floor, which gives a CLTC range of 310 km. The freelancer says that it has a fuel tank of 60 litres. Even the things regarding the DC charging are officially out; according to the brand, it takes 12 minutes for 20 to 80 per cent charging with the maximum DC charging output of 350 kW.
