The Land Rover Freelander was a very popular SUV in Europe, manufactured between 1997 and 2015 in the English town of Solihull, on the outskirts of Birmingham. The Chinese automotive giant Chery—parent company of Omoda, Jaecco and Ebro—has reached an agreement with Jaguar-Land Rover to turn Freelander into a new brand of large, luxury SUVs, with the goal of making a place for itself in the Chinese and European market.
