Chery-JLR's Freelander 8 Limited Edition Sold Out Before Official Launch

The Chery Jaguar Land Rover joint venture has seen its Freelander 8 limited edition sell out ahead of its scheduled September 3 debut. This special trim, positioned as the top-tier variant, carries a pre-sales price of 459,900 yuan (approximately $67,820).
Production is capped at just 1,000 units globally, which likely contributed to the rapid sell-out. The strong demand signals a promising start for the Freelander 8 lineup as it enters the competitive premium SUV segment.
The launch event is still expected to proceed as planned, where full details of the standard models will be revealed. For now, the limited edition’s success underscores a keen interest in this Sino-British collaboration.
