Freelander unveiled its debut electrified mid-size off-road family SUV in China, developed in partnership between Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and Chery, and announced plans to expand rapidly into global markets including Europe.
The vehicle is built on a new 800-volt architecture that supports pure-electric, range‑extender and plug‑in hybrid powertrains, and Freelander said it will introduce a new model every six months for the next five years.
