The reborn Freelander brand, jointly developed by Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and China's Chery, has officially confirmed Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands among its European target markets.<\/p>

\n

De internationale Freelander 8 zal echter aanzienlijk verschillen van de krachtige Chinese versie: de accucapaciteit is bijna gehalveerd, terwijl het vermogen daalt van 818 naar 617 hp.<\/p>\n

Als we zoals in april gemeld<\/a>, keert de originele Land Rover Freelander terug als een op zichzelf staand, in China geproduceerd premium SUV-merk. Sindsdien is het eerste model, de imposante Freelander 8 van 5,12 meter, in China op de markt gekomen, terwijl Chery en JLR hun plannen voor internationale uitbreiding hebben gepresenteerd.<\/p>\n

Europa is inbegrepen, waarbij Duitsland, Itali\u00eb, Belgi\u00eb, Nederland, Zwitserland en Spanje expliciet worden genoemd. In Duitsland zou de nieuwkomer in 2027 op de markt kunnen komen, terwijl Nederlandse automedia eerder eind 2027 als datum voor Nederland noemden. De offici\u00eble lanceringsdata voor de Benelux zijn nog niet bevestigd.<\/p>\n

Kleinere accu, andere motor<\/h4>\n

The most striking difference concerns the powertrain. In China, the Freelander 8 uses a 1.5-liter petrol range extender and two electric motors producing a combined 610 kW (818 hp). Its substantial 60.3 kWh CATL battery provides up to 310 km of electric driving under China's optimistic CLTC cycle.<\/p>\n

Voor de internationale versie met het stuur aan de linkerkant, die in Abu Dhabi werd onthuld, heeft Chery gekozen voor een 2,0-liter turbohybridemotor en een aanzienlijk kleinere lithium-ijzerfosfaat (LFP)-accu van 34,12 kWh.<\/p>\n

Het gecombineerde vermogen daalt tot 460 kW (617 pk), met een koppel van 662 Nm. De acceleratie van 0 naar 100 km\/uur duurt 5,8 seconden in plaats van 4,6 seconden. Chery claimt een elektrisch bereik van 110 km en een gecombineerd bereik van 886 km, hoewel de Europese WLTP-cijfers nog niet beschikbaar zijn.<\/p>\n

The international model supports 11 kW AC charging and DC fast charging from 20 to 80% in no more than 20 minutes. These specifications currently apply to the Middle East version. Chery has not yet confirmed whether Europe's model will use an identical configuration.<\/p>\n

Een serieuze terreinwagen<\/h4>\n

Ondanks zijn elektrische aandrijving is de Freelander 8 ontworpen om meer te bieden dan alleen een trendy SUV-design. Het intelligente vierwielaandrijvingssysteem beschikt over negen rijmodi, terwijl de luchtvering met twee kamers en de adaptieve demping zorgen voor een bodemvrijheid van maximaal 266 mm.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chery geeft bovendien een doorwaaddiepte van 900 mm op en vermeldt dat het voertuig hellingen van 70% kan beklimmen. Het Europese model zal naar verwachting vijf zitplaatsen bieden, in plaats van de optionele configuratie met zes zitplaatsen van de Chinese versie. Later zou er een volledig elektrische versie kunnen volgen, maar de introductie daarvan in Europa is nog niet bevestigd.<\/p>\n

Veelbelovende start in China<\/h4>\n

De Freelander 8 werd op 3 september officieel in China gelanceerd. De eerste reacties waren bemoedigend: Chery meldde meer dan 5.000 definitieve bestellingen binnen twaalf uur, na meer dan 10.000 reserveringen tijdens de eerste 48 uur van de voorverkoop.<\/p>\n

De leveringen aan klanten zouden op 19 september van start gaan, hoewel er nog geen betrouwbare registratiecijfers uit de detailhandel beschikbaar zijn om het succes op langere termijn te beoordelen.<\/p>\n

De Chinese actieprijzen beginnen bij 289.900 yuan (\u20ac 35.000) en lopen op tot 379.900 yuan (\u20ac 46.000). Het Europese model zal onvermijdelijk aanzienlijk duurder zijn.<\/p>\n

Een indicatieve instapprijs van \u20ac 55.000\u2013\u20ac 65.000 in Belgi\u00eb, mogelijk iets hoger in Nederland, lijkt aannemelijk, maar blijft een schatting van de redactie en is geen officieel aangekondigde prijs.<\/p>\n

Brits erfgoed, Chinese technologie<\/h4>\n

De Freelander laat zien hoe ingrijpend de auto-industrie is veranderd. JLR draagt de historische Britse naam en ontwerpexpertise bij, terwijl Chery een groot deel van de engineering, de elektrische technologie, de productie en de toeleveringsketen voor zijn rekening neemt.<\/p>\n

Crucially, the new Freelander will operate independently of Land Rover's existing dealer network. In the Netherlands, Chery's distribution network is expected to play a role.<\/p>\n

Chery beschikt al over een gevestigd Belgisch verkoop- en servicenetwerk via zijn merken Omoda en Jaecoo, wat een kant-en-klare infrastructuur zou kunnen bieden voor de introductie van de Freelander.<\/p>\n

However, it remains unclear whether the new premium brand will use these dealerships or establish a separate distribution network, independent of both Chery's existing brands and Land Rover.<\/p>\n

Politiek gevoelig moment<\/h4>\n

The Freelander's European ambitions also come at a politically sensitive moment. While Chinese-built plug-in hybrids currently escape the EU's additional tariffs on battery-electric cars, Brussels is preparing eventuele beperkingen op de invoer van Chinese hybride voertuigen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following China's refusal to voluntarily limit exports, the European Commission is reportedly considering safeguard measures combining import quotas with additional tariffs.<\/p>\n

Aangezien de Freelander 8 naar verwachting in 2027 in Europa op de markt komt, zou de concurrerende prijsstelling ervan deels kunnen afhangen van de uitkomst van deze onderhandelingen. Een toekomstige volledig elektrische versie zou onder het bestaande tariefstelsel voor BEV\u2019s vallen, tenzij de regels veranderen.<\/p>\n<\/div>
