Crash test reveals design of Land Rover and Chery’s first Freelander model

Land Rover and Chery will unveil the first model of their new model Freelander brand next week, but the design has now been largely revealed thanks to secretly taken photos taken after official crash tests.

These images were published on the Carspyshots.net Facebook page and appear to have been captured after the C-NCAP crash test.

While the two Freelander prototypes used for testing are partially camouflaged (one more so than the other), we can see that many elements of the car’s final design are heavily influenced by the first-generation Land Rover Freelander.

As well as sharing the original’s silhouette, the new Freelander features relatively flat sides enlivened by a distinctive round shoulder line, as well as circular black plastic wheel arch guards.

Up front, the headlights are an angular variant of the units on the facelifted first-generation Freelander. The brand’s lettering is clearly emblazoned between the headlights and on the tailgate.

While the vehicles shown here are five-door models, the design of the side windows behind the rear doors, which are divided by a visible angled pillar, is reminiscent of the original three-door variants.
