In terms of power, the Freelander 8 comes standard with an 800 V high-voltage range-extending platform and dual-motor four-wheel drive, with a total power output of 610 kW and peak torque of 813 N·m, achieving 0-100 km/h acceleration in 4.6 seconds. The battery, co-developed with CATL, is an all-terrain-specific Xuaooh hybrid battery with a capacity of 60.3 kWh, providing a CLTC pure electric range of 310 km. The rear motor features a 250 kW dual-speed design, delivering up to 8,000 N·m of torque at the wheels, balancing high-speed efficiency and extreme climbing scenarios.
For the chassis, the entire lineup is equipped with closed dual-chamber air springs and CCD continuously variable damping shock absorbers, offering a maximum ground clearance of 270 mm. Rear-wheel steering angle is ±10°, with a minimum turning radius of 5.15 meters, ensuring agile handling despite the vehicle’s length exceeding 5.1 meters. The braking system uses 6-piston fixed calipers paired with 404 mm ventilated discs, providing 30% more braking force than conventional systems.
Additionally, the Freelander 8 features the i-ATS intelligent all-terrain system, co-developed with Huawei QianKun, supporting 9 all-terrain modes. In intelligent mode, it can identify 6 terrains and complete terrain judgment in 0.5 seconds, upgrading the traditional all-terrain system from “reactive intervention” to “proactive anticipation.”
