Freelander 8 Interior Officially Unveiled: 46.3-inch MiniLED Far-Field Display + Zero-Gravity Six-Seat Layout

Recently, the interior of the all-new full-size SUV Freelander 8 — co-developed by Chery and Jaguar Land Rover — has been officially unveiled. Positioned as a premium intelligent luxury new-energy SUV, its overall design language closely follows the Concept 97 concept car. The interior adopts the philosophy of "Cockpit as Home", emphasizing the seamless integration of luxurious craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology. Pre-sales are expected to launch within 2026.

Ultra-Large Display Array + Physical Controls Redefine the New Luxury Cabin

The Freelander 8 dashboard features a 'T-shaped bridge array' layout, integrating a 46.3-inch MiniLED far-field display, a 15.6-inch MiniLED central infotainment screen, a 17.3-inch rear-seat eye-care ceiling-mounted display, and a 5.98-inch center-console control screen — creating a multi-dimensional immersive interaction space. Notably, Freelander 8 is among the world's first production vehicles to adopt the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8397 automotive-grade chip, built on a 4nm process and delivering 320 TOPS of AI computing power. Its NPU performance is 12× higher than that of the previous-generation 8295 chip — providing foundational support for the Qiankun ADS 5 intelligent driving system.

Full-Grain Leather & Genuine Wood + Crystal Knobs: Craftsmanship in Every Detail

The cabin features over 8 m² of carbon-neutral, top-grain cowhide sourced from New Zealand pastures. Trim panels combine African Ayous hardwood with aluminum alloy shared with supercars. Physical controls include Paris nailhead-pattern buttons and 144 precisely faceted optical crystal knobs, complemented by dual-ring ambient lighting with 256 colors and 18 additional ambient lighting zones across the vehicle — all supporting a 16.8-million-color gamut. The audio system is a 23-speaker Harman Kardon Crystal Diamond Audio.

2+2+2 Six-Seat Layout: Premium Comfort Across All Three Rows

The seating configuration follows a 2+2+2 layout: The front row retains the high-sitting "Commander Driver's Seat" design, standard with gentle airflow climate control and an electric password-secured glovebox. Second-row seats are premium zero-gravity seats, equipped with intelligent clean-cool/warm storage compartments and motorized sunshades. Third-row seats feature independent heating and ventilation functions — and even the third-row windows incorporate signature styling cues.

Dimensions & Powertrain: Boxy Silhouette + Extended-Range System

Overall dimensions measure 5118 (5185) × 2050 × 1898 mm, with a wheelbase of 3040 mm. Exterior styling retains a closed-off front grille and rugged boxy profile, with futuristic headlamps up front and a tail design echoing the front end — delivering a clean, bold aesthetic. Standard paint options include Radiant Silver (gloss), Fjord Blue, Overflow Copper, Polar Night Black, and Cloud Peak White; limited editions include Thermal Golden Lemon, Twilight Purple, and Radiant Silver (matte). A trailer hitch is available as an option, with a maximum towing capacity of 2000 kg.

Under the hood, Freelander 8 will be powered by a 1.5T range extender (max output: 115 kW) paired with a 60.331 kWh ternary lithium battery pack, delivering a CLTC all-electric range of 221 km. The chassis features the i-ATS intelligent all-terrain system, a front mechanical differential lock, a rear e-LSD electronic limited-slip differential, a virtual center lock, and a closed dual-chamber air suspension.
