Land Rover has lifted the veil on the interior of its upcoming Freelander 8 EREV, and the cabin appears to prioritize second-row passengers as much as the driver.

The design language shifts away from a conventional family hauler, leaning instead toward a lounge-like atmosphere that could challenge the notion of what a premium SUV should feel like.
The Freelander 8 Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) uses a petrol engine as a generator to extend the driving range of its electric motor, a technology that is gaining traction in the Chinese market where this model is expected to debut.
