BEIJING, Nov. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — During the 2026 Chery International User Summit, hosted by Chery Automobile (9973.HK) in Wuhu, FREELANDER presented its approach to in-car interaction and driver support to international guests, bringing together an AI Voice Assistant, digital cockpit displays and smartphone-based parking functions in FREELANDER 8. FREELANDER is a British Premium Intelligent All-Terrain Brand, jointly developed by JLR and Chery.

More Natural In Car Conversations

Lucia Mao, CEO of FREELANDER International, introduced an AI Voice Assistant powered by a large language model and tailored for the brand. It is designed to support more natural conversations and a deeper understanding of the vehicle.

The assistant builds on an intelligent cockpit powered by the Qualcomm SA8295P Automotive-Grade Chip, which is standard across all trims. The interface uses immersive 3D visuals and four themes, while physical buttons remain for frequently used functions.

Driving Information Across the Dashboard

The Surround View Gallery includes a 46.3-inch Mini LED Farside Integrated Display with 8K resolution. Spanning approximately 1.2 metres across the dashboard, it brings together seven core modules, including driving information, navigation and all-terrain status. A 15.6-inch centre display complements it, with an optional 17.3-inch ceiling-mounted entertainment display for rear passengers.

Parking and Driver Support

SIVP, or Super Intelligent Valet Parking, enables parking and vehicle recall through a smartphone app in supported scenarios. Availability is market-dependent and operation is subject to system operating conditions. The driver remains responsible at all times.

FREELANDER 8 also includes L2+ advanced driver assistance as standard, with more than 30 functions. These include Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Centring Control, Automatic Emergency Braking and Around View Monitoring with Transparent Chassis, alongside automatic and remote parking. These systems support the driver and do not make the vehicle fully autonomous.

Technology in Focus

At FREELANDER Nightfall, guests were welcomed by Mornine, an embodied AI humanoid robot from Chery International’s AiMOGA brand. The programme paired technology presentations with driving experiences, giving international visitors an opportunity to explore the brand’s approach to vehicle interaction and everyday usability.

BEIJING, Nov. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — International media, content creators and dealer partners shared their impressions of FREELANDER 8 after a test drive programme at the 2026 Chery International User Summit, hosted by Chery Automobile (9973.HK) in Wuhu, which combined rain-soaked tracks, challenging obstacles and paved roads. FREELANDER is a British Premium Intelligent All-Terrain Brand, jointly developed by JLR and Chery.

Driving in Changing Conditions

At Tuju Campground, participants drove through mud, S-bends, wavy roads, sand and gravel. The changing surfaces gave visitors a practical view of how the vehicle responds beyond a showroom setting.

“I think the driving experience is very good. The systems are working very well on the mud,” said a guest from Slovakia. A guest from Greece described the same course as feeling “like driving normally”.

Design and Driving Impressions

A guest from the Dominican Republic described the vehicle as “a combination of elegance, beauty and power for the off-road”, bringing design into a discussion otherwise centred on driving performance.

The i-ATS Intelligent All-Terrain System provides nine modes, including Smart Mode for changing surface conditions and Expert Mode for experienced drivers. The All-Terrain Dual Lock System supports traction, while dual-chamber air suspension allows additional ground clearance off road.

From Obstacles to Open Roads

The obstacle course included steep inclines, water crossings and cross-axle sections. A separate paved course allowed participants to assess acceleration, braking, handling and ride comfort.

Together, the sessions gave overseas visitors a shared basis for assessing the vehicle across different driving environments, with their feedback addressing both its all-terrain character and its suitability for everyday use.

BEIJING, Nov. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — During the 2026 Chery International User Summit, hosted by Chery Automobile (9973.HK) in Wuhu, international guests tested FREELANDER 8 across mud, steep slopes and paved roads, offering first-hand feedback on the brand’s approach to combining all-terrain capability with everyday comfort. FREELANDER is a British Premium Intelligent All-Terrain Brand, jointly developed by JLR and Chery.

Testing in Rain and Mud

The programme brought together driving experiences at Tuju Campground, an obstacle course and a paved test course. Rain added to the challenge, giving participants an opportunity to assess the vehicle on slippery surfaces as well as on the road.

On a steep descent, a guest from Spain said their heart was “still pounding a little bit”, before adding: “But I trust the car.” A guest from Egypt welcomed the wet conditions as a demanding test of the slope.

Comfort on the Road

On the paved course, a guest from the United Kingdom described FREELANDER 8 as “far more comfortable than I had expected.” A guest from Qatar said experiencing the car in person felt different from hearing about its capabilities.

The vehicle’s i-ATS Intelligent All-Terrain System offers nine terrain modes, while its All-Terrain Dual Lock System helps maintain traction. Dual-chamber air suspension with Continuously Controlled Damping supports ride comfort across changing surfaces.

Intelligent Parking

The programme also introduced SIVP, or Super Intelligent Valet Parking, for parking and vehicle recall through a smartphone app in supported scenarios. Availability is market-dependent and subject to system operating conditions; the driver remains responsible at all times.

The guests’ responses highlighted how confidence on difficult terrain and comfort on ordinary roads both shape perceptions of the brand.
