The presentation showed how the British design heritage of the original Freelander, first introduced in 1997, has been carried into a new era.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The original Freelander challenged the idea that customers had to choose between genuine off-road capability and everyday comfort, and became the best-selling 4&#215;4 in Europe for five consecutive years. FREELANDER has since evolved from a single nameplate into a standalone global brand. Its slogan, <em>Beyond the Legend<\/em>, expresses its intention to carry that heritage forward through intelligent innovation and distinctive design.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image 1 Phil Simmons, FREELANDER Design Hub Director, with the team\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/ml.globenewswire.com\/Resource\/Download\/96fe28fb-1387-4b77-8507-5864aea6c146\/image-1-phil-simmons-freelander-design-hub-director-with-the-team.jpg\" width=\"600\" data-dpi=\"300\" data-caption=\"Phil Simmons, FREELANDER Design Hub Director, with the team\" data-filename=\"Image 1 Phil Simmons, FREELANDER Design Hub Director, with the team.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><em>Phil Simmons, FREELANDER Design Hub Director, with the team<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><strong>A visible link to the original Freelander<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">On the side of FREELANDER 8, the Iconic Triangle Window provides a visible connection to the original Freelander. It recalls the original three-door model while being integrated into the proportions of a larger vehicle with three rows of seating. Its shape also incorporates references to the letters \u201cF\u201d and \u201cL\u201d, giving the detail a contemporary role in the overall profile.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">JLR owns the FREELANDER brand and has established a dedicated FREELANDER Design Hub that leads its design. Phil Simmons, who heads the hub, also worked on the original Freelander, creating a link in both people and design experience between the two generations.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image 2 The Iconic Triangle Window of FREELANDER 8 recalls the original three-door Freelander\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/ml.globenewswire.com\/Resource\/Download\/8d925087-3f1d-459a-822b-fa1d2ab3f85e\/image-2-the-iconic-triangle-window-of-freelander-8-recalls-the-original-three-door-freelander.jpg\" width=\"600\" data-dpi=\"300\" data-caption=\"The Iconic Triangle Window of FREELANDER 8 recalls the original three-door Freelander\" data-filename=\"Image 2 The Iconic Triangle Window of FREELANDER 8 recalls the original three-door Freelander.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><em>The Iconic Triangle Window of FREELANDER 8 recalls the original three-door Freelander<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><strong>Castle-Style Body Design with a \u201cSolid Base, Light Top\u201d approach<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The new vehicle measures 5,118 mm in length, 2,050 mm in width and 1,926 mm in height, with a 3,040 mm wheelbase. Its Castle-Style Body Design follows a \u201cSolid Base, Light Top\u201d approach, which gives the lower body a strong visual presence, while the window line and upper-body proportions create a lighter appearance above. The broad shoulder lines add to the planted stance.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The Dual-Peak Hood, Signature Interlocking Headlights and Iconic Triangle Window contribute to its identity, alongside the Yacht-Style Waistline, Flag-Style Side Mirrors, Full-Width Tailgate and Debossed Badging. FREELANDER presented eight exterior finishes drawn from nature, including three First Edition finishes: Dancing Silver (Satin), Lucent Lime (Satin) and Immersive Purple.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image 3 FREELANDER 8 in Lucent Lime (Satin), with its Castle-Style Body Design, Dual-Peak Hood and Signature Interlocking Headlights\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/ml.globenewswire.com\/Resource\/Download\/22ee51b1-a2e4-41d5-9e17-f98afd9deaff\/image-3-freelander-8-in-lucent-lime-satin-with-its-castle-style-body-design-dual-peak-hood-and-signature-interlocking-headlights.png\" width=\"600\" data-dpi=\"100\" data-caption=\"FREELANDER 8 in Lucent Lime (Satin), with its Castle-Style Body Design, Dual-Peak Hood and Signature Interlocking Headlights\" data-filename=\"Image 3 FREELANDER 8 in Lucent Lime (Satin), with its Castle-Style Body Design, Dual-Peak Hood and Signature Interlocking Headlights.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><em>FREELANDER 8 in Lucent Lime (Satin), with its Castle-Style Body Design, Dual-Peak Hood and Signature Interlocking Headlights<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><strong>A Wraparound Cockpit of screens, controls and materials<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Inside, large digital displays sit alongside physical controls, including Dual Floating Crystal-Style Knobs and Parisian Stud Tactile Controls.

Familiar cues are developed through contemporary proportions, surfaces and detailing rather than reproduced from an earlier vehicle. The result shows how FREELANDER 8 approaches its heritage: retaining recognisable details while reworking the overall design around contemporary dimensions, space requirements and digital use.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">FREELANDER 8 will make its dynamic debut at the 2026 Chery International User Summit in Wuhu this October.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><strong>About FREELANDER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">FREELANDER is a British Premium Intelligent All-Terrain Brand, jointly developed by JLR and Chery.
