Freelander 8 is scheduled to enter Indonesia in 2027, adding a premium marque to Chery’s local line-up. Freelander is a new brand formed through collaboration between Chery and Jaguar Land Rover, and the 8 is its first model. The large SUV is also intended for several left- and right-hand-drive markets from next year.
In China, the Freelander 8 is described with two powertrain options. The article gives details for a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine producing 115 kW and 220 Nm, paired with a 60.3 kWh battery. Its claimed electric-only range is 310 km under the CLTC test cycle. The report cites an 800-volt figure for the system and says charging from 20% to 80% takes 12 minutes, with a peak charging rate of 6C.
The SUV measures 5,118 mm long, 2,050 mm wide and 1,898 mm high, with a 3,040 mm wheelbase. Fitting an electric tow hook increases its overall length to 5,185 mm. The source does not provide Indonesian pricing or an exact launch date, nor does it detail the second powertrain option.
