For autonomous driving, the car is equipped with a high-performance Qualcomm 8397 car-grade chip with a total computing power of 320 TOPS. It offers two configurations for intelligent driving, with ADS 5 Pro using a laser vision Limera sensing system in the cabin, while ADS 5 Max features an 896-line LiDAR, and a total of 30 high-performance fused sensing hardware, supporting the 3.0 full-scenario intelligent driving function from parking to parking. The interior features a wrap-around cabin layout, with a 46.3-inch 8K panoramic rear display and a 15.6-inch Mini LED central touchscreen. The steering wheel is in a square shape to avoid screen obstruction. The cabin retains physical control buttons, featuring a 144-cut K9 optical crystal double-floating crystal knob, Parisian embossed physical buttons, 256-color dual-lens floating ambient lighting, and a pair of 50W wireless charging modules in the front seats, along with a built-in vehicle aroma system.

The FREELANDER 8 is equipped with i-ATS intelligent all-terrain system, which can automatically switch between mud, rock, sand, and other off-road modes in 0.2 seconds. It relies on forward LiDAR road scanning, automatically adjusting the suspension height and power output parameters to adapt to various off-road driving scenarios. The chassis features a front double wishbone and rear multi-link independent suspension, with standard closed dual-cavity air suspension and ±10° rear-wheel steering. The vehicle is equipped with a front mechanical lock, a rear e-LSD electronic differential lock, and a digital virtual central differential, featuring three locks.
