    Chery and JLR Appoint UAE Distributors for Freelander Brand Middle East Entry

    Chery Auto and Jaguar Land Rover have initiated the international retail rollout for their co-created Freelander brand by selecting Al Tayer Motors and Premier Motors as authorized distributors across the UAE. The entry includes three flagship showrooms in Dubai and surrounding emirates.
