Chery and Jaguar Land Rover unveil Freelander 800-volt off-road SUV
Chery and Jaguar Land Rover just dropped the new Freelander, an all-electric SUV built for off-road adventures.
It's based on a fresh 800-volt platform that supports electric, range-extender, and plug-in hybrid options.
The design nods to classic Land Rover elements, like the diagonal C-pillar and unique headlights.
The big reveal happened in Beijing, with a public debut set for the city's International Motor Show.
JLR to produce Freelander in Changshu
Freelander will be made at JLR's Changshu plant in China, taking over from the outgoing Discovery Sport and Evoque models.
Chery and JLR have plans to roll out a new version every six months for the next five years as they aim to make waves in the global premium SUV scene.
While China is first in line, special versions are being tested for Europe and beyond, but details on international branding are still under wraps.
