Company highlights its focus on AI applications in education, plans a year-round showcase at its Las Vegas venue, and reaffirms its disclosure practices

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — All In FutureTech Alliance Inc. (Nasdaq: AIFA) (“AIFA” or the “Company”) today held its inaugural annual conference at the Company’s Las Vegas venue. Chairman Shanglong Li delivered the keynote address, outlining AIFA’s strategic direction, recent product development progress, and priorities for the next stage of the Company’s growth.

Mr. Li stated that AIFA does not intend to compete in semiconductor development or pursue the development of foundational AI models. Instead, the Company is focused on building differentiated AI applications around assets and capabilities that it believes are more difficult to replicate, including proprietary data, proprietary audience and distribution channels, and established user trust.

AIFA’s current business strategy spans four principal areas: AI-enabled content, AI-enabled education, investment and research, and global business services. Education is currently the Company’s primary area of focus and serves as an initial application scenario for its AI capabilities. Over time, AIFA may selectively explore additional verticals where its data, distribution, user relationships, and AI-enabled service capabilities can be applied, including areas such as financial services, healthcare-related services, and local services.

Product Development Progress
The Company also provided an update on the development and deployment of two AI-enabled products:

• CreateAgent is designed to support creators and business teams across key stages of the content-development process, including topic identification, angle selection, script drafting and draft evaluation. The Company currently uses CreateAgent internally, and the product has also begun to be used by external creators, as well as teams in the real estate and insurance brokerage sectors.
• Teach OS is being developed as an AI-enabled operating system for educators, training providers and small education businesses. The platform is designed around six core modules covering customer acquisition, course creation, conversion, Q&A, learning support and analytics. Two modules—customer acquisition and course creation—are currently live, while the remaining four modules are under development. The Company expects to formally launch Teach OS in the near term.

AI education certification

Together with the research team led by Professor John Li, a Stanford instructor and a professor at California Science and Technology University, the Company has prepared a white paper on an AI education certification standard built around three criteria: using AI, teaching AI, and delivering work with AI. The Company plans to publish the white paper next month.

Year-round showcase in Las Vegas

The Company plans to position its Las Vegas venue as a year-round showcase and market-entry platform for advanced consumer electronics and technology brands seeking to expand into the U.S. market, initial collaboration includes the China Electronics Chamber of Commerce and BayPort Digital Hub.

AIFA also plans to host visitors and business delegations at company’s HyperX Arena venue during CES 2027, using the Las Vegas location as a platform for product showcases, business introductions, and cross-border industry engagement.

In addition, the Company expects to host two events in Southern California in 2027: The Next Generation AI Education Forum, planned for January in Irvine, California, and a Global IP Conference focused on intellectual property, content, creators, and related business opportunities.

Board and Advisory Development
AIFA has invited several individuals with experience in AI healthcare, technology, legal and regulatory matters, as well as an AI industry advisor, to consider board or advisory roles. No appointments have been finalized as of the date of this release. The Company will make any required SEC and Nasdaq disclosures if and when appointments are completed.

“We are not here to tell stories about AI. We are here to build with AI,” said Shanglong Li, Chairman of AIFA. “What is live, we call live. What is in progress, we call in progress. When we get something done, we say so. When we don’t, we say that too.”

About All In FutureTech Alliance Inc.
All In FutureTech Alliance Inc. (NASDAQ: AIFA) is a publicly listed company focused on applying artificial intelligence to real-world business and service scenarios. The Company is developing businesses across education and workforce development, AI-enabled services, media and creator services, global commerce, and investment and research.

SAN CARLOS, Calif., Oct. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vaxcyte, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCVX), a clinical-stage vaccine innovation company, today announced it will host a webcast and conference call tomorrow, October 5, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. ET / 5:00 a.m. PT to present topline data from the OPUS-1 adult pivotal Phase 3 trial evaluating the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of VAX-31, the Company’s 31-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) candidate designed to prevent invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and pneumococcal pneumonia.

To participate in the conference call, please dial 800-445-7795 (domestic) or 785-424-1699 (international) and refer to conference ID PCVX1005. A live webcast of the conference call will also be available on the investor relations page of the Vaxcyte corporate website at www.vaxcyte.com.

About Vaxcyte
Vaxcyte is a vaccine innovation company engineering high-fidelity vaccines to protect humankind from the consequences of bacterial diseases. VAX-31, a 31-valent PCV candidate being evaluated in the OPUS Phase 3 adult clinical program and in a Phase 2 infant clinical program, is being developed for the prevention of IPD and is the broadest-spectrum PCV candidate in the clinic today. VAX-24, a 24-valent PCV candidate, has generated positive Phase 2 clinical results in both adults and infants and is designed to cover more serotypes than any PCV on-market. VAX-31 and VAX-24 are designed to improve upon standard-of-care PCVs by covering the serotypes in circulation that cause a significant portion of IPD and are associated with high case-fatality rates, antibiotic resistance and meningitis, while maintaining coverage of previously circulating strains. VAX-XL, in earlier-stage development, also leverages the Company’s carrier-sparing, site-specific conjugation technology with the aim of further expanding coverage to deliver the broadest-spectrum candidate in the Company’s PCV franchise.

VAX-A1 is a prophylactic vaccine candidate designed to provide broad, strain-independent protection against disease caused by Group A Strep and is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical study in adults. Group A Strep remains a significant global cause of morbidity and mortality across both adult and pediatric populations and is a leading driver of antibiotic use, underscoring the substantial public health burden.

Vaxcyte is re-engineering the way highly complex vaccines are made through XpressCF®, its cell-free protein synthesis platform exclusively licensed from Sutro Biopharma, Inc. Unlike conventional cell-based approaches, the Company’s system for producing difficult-to-make proteins and antigens is intended to develop and deliver high-fidelity vaccines with enhanced immunological benefits. Vaxcyte’s pipeline also includes VAX-GI, a vaccine candidate designed to prevent Shigella. For more information, visit www.vaxcyte.com.

• Frictionless by design: Gemini Intelligence, seamless Android integration, Intel^® WiFi 7, and versatile connectivity ease movement across cloud tools and peripherals

TORONTO, Oct. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  ASUS today announced that ASUS Googlebook 14 (CX9406CAA) is now available for purchase in Canada. The 14-inch ultraportable laptop is the first-ever ASUS laptop designed for Gemini Intelligence, combining effortless portability, strong performance, and premium craftsmanship for users seeking a more connected experience with their Android phone.

Eligible purchasers of ASUS Googlebook 14 receive 12 months of Google AI Pro¹, unlocking expanded access to advanced features across Gemini, Flow, and NotebookLM, as well as Gemini integrated directly into the Google apps they use every day. Users also get 5TB of cloud storage to back up photos, files, and more, with access from virtually anywhere.

Additional offers for eligible Canadian users include three months of YouTube Premium, Adobe Premiere, and CapCut Pro, along with 12 months of Luminar Photo Editor and GeForce NOW Fast Pass². Together, these tools support creativity, entertainment, and cloud gaming right out of the box.

Featherweight design, premium hardware

Weighing just 0.99kg and measuring as thin as 10.9mm, ASUS Googlebook 14 is engineered for exceptional mobility without compromising durability. Its CNC-machined magnesium-aluminum alloy chassis delivers impressive rigidity and long-term structural stability in a highly portable form factor.

Finished in Dusk Ash and protected by Nano Ceramic Technology, ASUS Googlebook 14 is designed to resist scratches, stains, and everyday wear while maintaining a premium look and feel. The device is also tested to meet US military-grade MIL-STD-810H and ASUS Superior Durability standards³.

Despite its lightweight design, ASUS Googlebook 14 delivers strong performance with up to an Intel^® Core^™ Ultra 7 Series 3 processor, 16GB LPDDR5X memory, and a 512GB PCIe^® 4.0 SSD. An advanced cooling system helps sustain performance while keeping operation whisper-quiet, and a 70Wh battery provides up to 18 hours of battery life⁴.

Refined sensory experiences for everyday productivity

For immersive visuals, ASUS Googlebook 14 features a 14-inch 16:10 3K OLED HDR touchscreen with up to 1000 nits peak HDR brightness and a 120Hz refresh rate. Corning^® Gorilla^® Glass Victus^® with Corning^® Gorilla^™ Matte anti-glare technology helps reduce reflections while improving durability and visibility in bright environments.

A six-speaker audio system with dual force-canceling woofers and two tweeters creates a fuller, more immersive soundstage for calls, presentations, and media.

To celebrate the launch, eligible purchasers can also take advantage of limited-time offers at participating retailers across Canada, including gifts with purchase, gift cards, promotional credits, a one-year warranty extension, and more. Offers vary by retailer.

Built on a shared Android foundation, ASUS Googlebook 14 delivers a connected experience that helps users move effortlessly between their phone and laptop. During setup, users can securely bring over saved passwords, Wi-Fi^® networks, settings, and messages with end-to-end encryption. Features such as Continue On allow users to start a task on their Android phone and pick up where they left off on ASUS Googlebook 14, while the Files app provides convenient access to photos and documents stored on a connected device. Cast My Apps further streamlines workflows by enabling users to interact with Android apps directly from their laptop, reducing interruptions and the need to switch between devices⁵.

ASUS Googlebook 14 also brings personalized, proactive AI assistance into everyday workflows. Magic Pointer⁶ lets users activate Gemini with a simple cursor wiggle and interact directly with on-screen content, making it easy to compare information, create content, translate text, or take action without switching between applications. Gemini can also provide proactive suggestions⁷ based on what is currently on screen, surfacing relevant information and recommended actions to help users stay productive.

Additional Gemini-powered features further simplify everyday tasks. Rambler, located next to the Quick Insert key, transforms spoken thoughts into organized notes, summaries, checklists, and ready-to-share documents, even across multiple languages. Meanwhile, Create My Widget⁸ enables users to generate personalized desktop widgets using natural language, delivering customized information and updates tailored to their daily workflow. Together, these experiences help users stay connected, organized, and productive across devices.

To round out the experience, ASUS Googlebook 14 includes two Thunderbolt^™ 4 USB-C^® full-function ports with Power Delivery and DisplayPort^™ 1.4 support, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, HDMI^® 2.1b, a 3.5mm audio combo jack, and WiFi 7 for seamless connectivity.

In addition, the offer includes three months of YouTube Premium, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Photoshop, and CapCut Pro, along with 12 months of Luminar and GeForce NOW. Together, these tools support creativity, entertainment, and cloud gaming right out of the box.²

 

Featherweight design, premium hardware

Weighing just 2.18lbs and measuring only 0.43 inches thin, ASUS Googlebook 14 is engineered for exceptional mobility without compromising durability. Its CNC-machined magnesium-aluminum alloy chassis delivers impressive rigidity and long-term structural stability in a highly portable form factor. Finished in Dusk Ash and protected by Nano Ceramic Technology, the laptop is designed to resist scratches, stains, and everyday wear while maintaining a premium look and feel. The device is also tested to meet US military-grade MIL-STD 810H and ASUS Superior Durability standards.³

Despite its lightweight design, ASUS Googlebook 14 delivers strong performance with an Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 325 processor, 16GB LPDDR5X memory, and up to a 512GB PCIe® 4.0 SSD.

To round out the experience, ASUS Googlebook 14 includes dual Thunderbolt™ 4 USB-C® ports, dual USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, HDMI® 2.1b, a 3.5mm audio combo jack, and WiFi 7 for seamless connectivity.

 

Seamless Android Integration with Gemini Intelligence

Built on a shared Android foundation, ASUS Googlebook 14 delivers a connected experience that helps users move effortlessly between their phone and laptop.⁵ During setup, users can securely bring over saved passwords, Wi-Fi® networks, settings, and messages with end-to-end encryption. Features such as Continue On allow users to start a task on their Android phone and pick up exactly where they left off on ASUS Googlebook 14, while the Files app provides convenient access to photos and documents stored on a connected device. Cast My Apps further streamlines workflows by enabling users to interact with Android apps directly from their laptop, reducing interruptions and eliminating the need to constantly switch between devices.⁶

ASUS Googlebook 14 also brings personalized, proactive AI assistance into everyday workflows.

Media Release

COPENHAGEN, Denmark; October 3, 2026

• Treatment with Rina-S^® 120 mg/m² every three weeks demonstrated a clinically meaningful objective response rate (ORR) and durable median duration of response (mDOR) in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC)
• Antitumor activity was observed regardless of folate receptor alpha (FRα) expression levels, including low FRα expression and non-expressors

Genmab A/S (Nasdaq: GMAB) today announced results from Part C of the Phase 1/2 RAINFOL™-01 trial evaluating rinatabart sesutecan (Rina-S), an investigational folate receptor alpha (FRα)-targeted, topoisomerase I (TOPO1)-inhibitor antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), demonstrated that among 109 treated patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC), Rina-S achieved a confirmed objective response rate (ORR) of 45.9% (95% CI: 36.3–55.7), including five complete responses (CRs) and a median duration of response (mDOR) of 12.1 months (95% CI: 6.5–15.4), with 51% of responders remaining in response at one year. The findings were presented today in a Late-Breaking Oral Session at the International Gynecologic Cancer Society (IGCS) Congress 2026, held in Montreal, Canada.

The study also demonstrated a median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 9.5 months (95% CI: 7.6–11.3). Antitumor activity was observed regardless of FRα expression levels, including in patients with low FRα expression and non-expressors, and regardless of prior treatment with mirvetuximab.

“Platinum-resistant ovarian cancer is a difficult-to-treat disease. As patients relapse and progress through successive lines of therapy, achieving durable clinical benefit becomes increasingly challenging, yet remains critically important,” said Elizabeth K. Lee, M.D., study investigator and a medical oncologist in the gynecologic oncology program at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. “The antitumor activity and durability observed with Rina-S in this heavily pretreated population are encouraging and suggest the potential to meaningfully impact outcomes for patients facing a particularly challenging stage of disease.”

The Part C cohort of the Phase 1/2 RAINFOL-01 study evaluated Rina-S 120 mg/m² Q3W as monotherapy in patients with platinum-resistant high-grade serous ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. Eligible patients received one to three prior lines of therapy; patients who received mirvetuximab as their last prior therapy could have received up to four prior lines. More than half of patients (53%) had received three or four prior lines of therapy. All patients had received prior bevacizumab and taxane therapy; 49.5% had received a prior PARP inhibitor, and 33% had received prior mirvetuximab soravtansine. Median follow-up exceeded one year.

The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) included fatigue (57.8%) and low-grade (Grade 1-2) gastrointestinal events, such as nausea (67.9%), vomiting (36.7%), constipation (26.6%), decreased appetite (23.9%), and abdominal pain (18.3%). The most frequently reported hematologic TEAEs included anemia (57.8%), neutropenia (57.8%), decreased platelet count (34.9%), and thrombocytopenia (34.9%). Serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported in approximately one-third of participants. Treatment discontinuation due to TEAEs occurred in 5.5% of participants. No safety signals for ocular toxicity, peripheral neuropathy, interstitial lung disease (ILD), or stomatitis were observed.

“The late-breaking results presented today add an important layer of evidence to the growing clinical experience with Rina-S in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer,” said Tahamtan Ahmadi, M.D., Ph.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, Head of Experimental Medicines, Genmab. “These findings, including the observed antitumor activity, duration of response, and the first progression-free survival data reported for the program, as well as the manageable tolerability, reinforce the potential of Rina-S. As our Phase 3 program continues to advance, the results further inform our evaluation of Rina-S as a potential treatment option for patients with gynecologic cancers.”

Rina-S is being evaluated in a broad clinical development program spanning multiple gynecologic cancers and other solid tumors. The program includes four Phase 3 trials evaluating Rina-S in PROC (RAINFOL-02; NCT06619236), recurrent or progressive endometrial cancer (RAINFOL-03; NCT07166094), platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer (PSOC) maintenance therapy (RAINFOL-04; NCT07225270), and second-line PSOC (RAINFOL-07; NCT07564141). Additional studies include the Phase 1/2 RAINFOL-01 trial (NCT05579366) and Phase 2 trials in non-small cell lung cancer (RAINFOL-05; NCT07288177) and advanced gastrointestinal cancers (RAINFOL-09; NCT07539311).

About the RAINFOL-01 Trial
RAINFOL-01 (NCT05579366) is an open-label, multicenter Phase 1/2 study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Rina-S Q3W at various doses in selected solid tumors, including tumors across a range of FRα expression levels. The study consists of multiple parts, including the PROC monotherapy cohort.

About Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer (OC) is a major global health issue, with more than 320,000 new cases diagnosed annually worldwide.ⁱ It ranks as the eighth most common cancer and the eighth leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women globally.ⁱⁱ The disease is often diagnosed at an advanced stage because its symptoms, including abdominal bloating, pelvic pain, and difficulty eating, can be subtle and nonspecific.ⁱⁱⁱ Approximately 70-90% of women with advanced-stage OC worldwide experience a recurrence after initial treatment.^iv OC has a low five-year survival rate, which varies significantly by region, but generally hovers around 30-50%.^v,vi

About Rinatabart Sesutecan (Rina-S; GEN1184)
Rina-S (GEN1184) is an investigational ADC. It is composed of a novel human monoclonal antibody directed at FRα, a hydrophilic protease-cleavable linker, and exatecan, a TOPO1 inhibitor payload. The clinical trial program for Rina-S continues to expand, including ovarian, endometrial, and other cancers with unmet need.

The safety and efficacy of Rina-S have not been established. Please visit https://clinicaltrials.gov/ for more information.

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, Oct. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FREELANDER held its Global Brand Launch at Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental in Abu Dhabi on 29 September 2026, opening a new chapter in its international development. Eight distinguished guests bearing the title of His Excellency attended, alongside government representatives, business partners and media. Charlie Zhang, Executive Vice President of Chery International, addressed the event, reaffirming Chery Group’s long-term commitment to FREELANDER and its determination to deepen its presence in the Middle East while expanding internationally.

FREELANDER 8’s first international unveiling in Abu Dhabi

Guests included His Excellency Hamad Sayah Al Mazrouei, Undersecretary of the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development; His Excellency Rashed Al Blooshi, CEO of the ADGM Registration Authority; and Mohamed Ali Al Kamali, Chief Trade and Industry Officer of the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO). The attendance of senior government and institutional representatives reflected strong interest in FREELANDER’s international development and the foundations for continued engagement between the brand and Abu Dhabi.

Chery Group’s international track record provides a strong foundation for this new chapter. In 2025, the Group exported 1.344 million vehicles, retaining its position as the leading passenger vehicle exporter among Chinese brands for the 23rd consecutive year. In the UK, around two years after beginning the rollout of its brands in 2024, the Group topped the monthly new-car sales rankings in August 2026 on a combined-brand basis. This international experience and global reach will support FREELANDER’s long-term development.

Speaking at the launch, Charlie Zhang reinforced the Group’s commitment to the brand: “We greatly value our partnership with Jaguar Land Rover and our shared ambition for FREELANDER. It is a British brand empowered by Chery’s technology and global capabilities, with its own identity and direction. Chery Group is committed to investing in its long-term development. Together, we aim to set a new benchmark for premium brands.”

Charlie Zhang, Executive Vice President of Chery International, delivers the opening address for the event

Combining Jaguar Land Rover’s design expertise with Chery’s advanced technology, global supply chain and international operating capabilities, FREELANDER is building a foundation spanning product development, manufacturing and global operations. British design heritage, intelligent technology and all-terrain capability are central to the distinctive value the brand aims to bring to customers worldwide.

Abu Dhabi is an important starting point for this international journey. “Abu Dhabi also holds an important place in Chery’s long-term development in the region,” Zhang said. Hosting FREELANDER’s Global Brand Launch in the UAE capital underlined the Group’s commitment to the local market and its ambition to build a lasting presence in the Middle East as it expands internationally.

Lucia Mao, CEO of FREELANDER International, also thanked ADIO for its support. In her remarks, she recalled how, ahead of the launch, FREELANDER had engaged with guests and partners from the Middle East with ADIO’s support—during the Abu Dhabi Investment Forum at The Peninsula Shanghai in June, and at Goodwood in the UK in July. These meetings provided opportunities to share the brand’s vision and listen to expectations for FREELANDER.

Lucia Mao, CEO of FREELANDER International, speaks at the FREELANDER Global Brand Launch

From Shanghai to Goodwood and on to Abu Dhabi, FREELANDER’s continued engagement with ADIO has helped the brand build connections with government representatives, business partners and the media. The Global Brand Launch marked both a continuation of that dialogue and an important step in putting its international ambitions into practice.

FREELANDER has established dealer partnerships with Al Tayer Motors and Premier Motors in the UAE, laying the foundations for its local sales and service network. Backed by Chery Group’s long-term investment and the support of Abu Dhabi’s government, the Abu Dhabi Investment Office and local business partners, FREELANDER will pursue a phased international expansion from its strategic starting point in the Middle East, working towards its ambition to set a new benchmark for premium brands.

About FREELANDER
FREELANDER is a British Premium Intelligent All-Terrain Brand, jointly developed by JLR and Chery. JLR owns the FREELANDER brand and has established a dedicated FREELANDER Design Hub that leads its design. Chery provides advanced intelligent technology and a top-tier global supply chain. The brand is supported by a strong global foundation, including more than 5,000 employees, five strategic hubs, and fully integrated capabilities spanning design, R&D, manufacturing, and global operations.

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, Oct. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FREELANDER, jointly developed by JLR and Chery, held its Global Brand Launch at the iconic Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental in Abu Dhabi on 29 September under the theme Beyond the Legend. The brand presented the international left-hand drive (LHD) variant of FREELANDER 8 to government officials, industry partners and media.

Distinguished guests join the official group photo at the FREELANDER Global Brand Launch

The event was attended by eight dignitaries holding the title of His Excellency, including H.E. Hamad Sayah Al Mazrouei, Undersecretary of the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development. Mohamed Ali Al Kamali, Chief Trade and Industry Officer at the Abu Dhabi Investment Office, also attended. They were joined by Charlie Zhang, Executive Vice President of Chery International; Tim Zhang, General Manager of Chery International’s Middle East Region; and Lucia Mao, CEO of FREELANDER International.

First introduced in 1997, Freelander has evolved from a single nameplate into a standalone global brand. Its positioning as a British Premium Intelligent All-Terrain Brand combines British design heritage with advanced technology. JLR owns the FREELANDER brand and has established a dedicated FREELANDER Design Hub that leads its design. Chery provides advanced intelligent technology and a top-tier global supply chain.

Lucia Mao, CEO of FREELANDER International, said, “FREELANDER is a British legend. But we want to do more than just bring it back. Chinese technology opens up new possibilities. That is what ‘Beyond the Legend’ means. British soul. Chinese intelligence. A legend going further than ever.”

Lucia Mao delivers the keynote speech on stage

FREELANDER 8 combines a Castle-Style Body and Signature Interlocking Headlights with premium materials and an intelligent cabin powered by the Qualcomm SA8295P chip. L2+ driver assistance comes as standard, with more than 30 assistance functions; Super Intelligent Valet Parking (SIVP) will be available in selected markets for supported parking scenarios, subject to the system’s operating conditions and the driver’s responsibilities. For the Middle East’s high temperatures, a 45 cc air-conditioning compressor delivers rapid cooling. In an internal stationary test after two hours in the sun, air temperature at the driver’s head position fell by around 33 degrees Celsius within ten minutes. The Middle East-exclusive Qibla Compass shows the direction of Makkah, prayer times, distance to the Kaaba and the Hijri calendar.

The i-ATS (Intelligent All-Terrain System) offers nine modes: seven terrain programmes, including Sand Mode, plus Smart Mode and Expert Mode. Working with the electrified powertrain and chassis, it supports confident driving across changing surfaces. FREELANDER 8 can pass an 800 mm cross-axle test, climb a 70% grade and wade through water up to 900 mm deep.

The launch also highlighted the engineering behind FREELANDER 8. Its electrified powertrain combines a 2.0T dedicated hybrid engine with a 34.12 kWh LFP battery and dual-motor all-wheel drive, delivering up to 460 kW of peak power and 662 N·m of peak torque. FREELANDER 8 delivers a total range of 886 km with a full tank and a fully charged battery, and an all-electric range of 110 km, both on the combined cycle. The chassis pairs a dual-chamber air suspension with Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD), offering a maximum ground clearance of 266 mm. Specifications vary by market and trim level. Figures stated apply to the Middle East market model only.

“Before you face extreme heat, heavy rain or rough ground, we put the car through it first. So wherever you go, you can drive with confidence,” said Peter Matkin, Chief Engineer at Chery International R&D Centre. More than 1,000 test vehicles support global validation, including over 200 dedicated to all-terrain durability testing, covering 2.15 million kilometres in those tests.

The Middle East serves as the strategic starting point for FREELANDER’s international roll-out. In the UAE, the brand has established dealer partnerships with Al Tayer Motors for Dubai and the Northern Emirates, and Premier Motors for Abu Dhabi, forming the foundation of its local sales and service network. Customers in the UAE can now register their interest in FREELANDER 8. The broader international roll-out will proceed in stages, beginning with LHD markets before expanding to right-hand drive (RHD) and EU specification markets.

Further details on safety, interior space, service and other product information will be announced at the product launch through FREELANDER’s official channels and local market communications.

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, Oct. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FREELANDER, jointly developed by JLR and Chery, held its Global Brand Launch at the iconic Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental in Abu Dhabi on 29 September under the theme Beyond the Legend. The brand presented the international left-hand drive (LHD) variant of FREELANDER 8 to government officials, industry partners and media.

The event was attended by eight dignitaries holding the title of His Excellency, including H.E. Hamad Sayah Al Mazrouei, Undersecretary of the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development. Mohamed Ali Al Kamali, Chief Trade and Industry Officer at the Abu Dhabi Investment Office, also attended. They were joined by Charlie Zhang, Executive Vice President of Chery International; Tim Zhang, General Manager of Chery International’s Middle East Region; and Lucia Mao, CEO of FREELANDER International.

First introduced in 1997, Freelander has evolved from a single nameplate into a standalone global brand. Its positioning as a British Premium Intelligent All-Terrain Brand combines British design heritage with advanced technology. JLR owns the FREELANDER brand and has established a dedicated FREELANDER Design Hub that leads its design. Chery provides advanced intelligent technology and a top-tier global supply chain.

Lucia Mao, CEO of FREELANDER International, said, “FREELANDER is a British legend. But we want to do more than just bring it back. Chinese technology opens up new possibilities. That is what ‘Beyond the Legend’ means. British soul. Chinese intelligence. A legend going further than ever.”

FREELANDER 8 combines a Castle-Style Body and Signature Interlocking Headlights with premium materials and an intelligent cabin powered by the Qualcomm SA8295P chip. L2+ driver assistance comes as standard, with more than 30 assistance functions; Super Intelligent Valet Parking (SIVP) will be available in selected markets for supported parking scenarios, subject to the system’s operating conditions and the driver’s responsibilities. For the Middle East’s high temperatures, a 45 cc air-conditioning compressor delivers rapid cooling. In an internal stationary test after two hours in the sun, air temperature at the driver’s head position fell by around 33 degrees Celsius within ten minutes. The Middle East-exclusive Qibla Compass shows the direction of Makkah, prayer times, distance to the Kaaba and the Hijri calendar.

The i-ATS (Intelligent All-Terrain System) offers nine modes: seven terrain programmes, including Sand Mode, plus Smart Mode and Expert Mode. Working with the electrified powertrain and chassis, it supports confident driving across changing surfaces. FREELANDER 8 can pass an 800 mm cross-axle test, climb a 70% grade and wade through water up to 900 mm deep.
