Jaguar-Land Rover (JLR) is ceasing production of its own vehicles in China, the world’s largest automotive market, choosing instead to brand Chinese-made platforms from 2026 under its brand name. The smart thing about this decision is that JLR is that, according to Automotive News, JLR is bringing back the name of the small Freelander off-roader, but using it as the brand name for the venture. The Freelander vehicles will be built by Chery in China on the T1X platform, which JLR has been involved in the development of since 2016.
