The domestic pickup truck category has been regarded as a tool car for a long time in the past, but with the continuous enrichment of everyone's car use scenarios and the gradual relaxation of policies, pickup trucks are not limited to the attributes of tool cars, especially in recent years, with the rapid development of automobile electrification, new energy pickup trucks have become a new choice in the market.
Changan Hunter is the first extended-range hybrid pickup truck model in the pickup truck market, while retaining the practical, reliable and multi-functional advantages of the pickup truck model, it solves the shortcomings of high fuel consumption of fuel pickup trucks, urea and other deficiencies, and will not produce pure electric mileage anxiety, but has the same quiet and silky comfortable experience as a pure electric SUV. More importantly, it has achieved the same price of oil and electricity to meet consumers' needs for high cost performance and high playability of pickup truck models. Brother Yu Lu recently test-drove this Chang'an hunter in Hangzhou, and then I will talk to you about the driving experience.
Luxury passengerization, appearance and comfort.
First of all, the first impression that Changan Hunter gave me was that it was so delicate that it didn't look like a pickup truck model. In our traditional impression, pickup trucks are often designed with a rough shape that is clear vertically and horizontally, but the Chang'an Hunter has incorporated many details and ingenuity under the tough silhouette, and looks like a strong man in a suit and leather shoes.
The new front part of the face adopts a shark nose design, with a very large digital blackened dot matrix grille, and a thick front bumper, which is very visually impactful.
The split light group weakens the presence of the headlights, making the front face part quite futuristic, especially the staggered geometric light source design inside the narrow daytime running lights above, which is very exquisite, so it is difficult to imagine that this will be a pickup truck just by looking at the front face.
Even the roof spoiler and rear end of this car have been added with a refined design, which makes it look even more distinctive.
On the whole, the figure of Changan Hunter is still relatively burly and domineering, with a length of 5380mm, and the length of the long box version is more than 56 meters. In addition, the height of the car is 1980mm, so it comes with a fixed pedal, which is more convenient to get on and off the car.
It is worth mentioning that the tailgate of the cargo box of Changan Hunter adopts an innovative sectional opening design, and there are folding pedals inside, which makes the upper and lower tailgates more convenient and safe.
In addition, Chang'an Hunter also provides the original cargo box roller shutter option, which is more reliable.
As a new energy pickup, the external discharge function is naturally not absent in Chang'an hunters, and its support is 3The external discharge power of 3kw can be discharged with a discharge gun, or it can be directly inserted into the 220v socket that comes with the box, and supports 25 tons of trailer qualification, can be called an outdoor camping artifact.
In recent years, passenger has long become the development trend of the pickup category, and Changan Hunter has also gone further, improving the sense of intelligence and luxury on the basis of passengerization.
A pickup truck that is easier to drive than an SUV.
In addition to a more fuel-efficient and convenient car experience, the most surprising thing about Changan Hunter is its driving experience.
Because the car is completely powered by an electric motor, the driving experience is basically the same as that of a pure electric car. The acceleration from the start is silky smooth, without the frustration of traditional fuel pickups.
Especially when climbing, the motor of the Changan hunter itself has a strong low-torque burst attribute, and the power responds immediately when you step on the accelerator. It doesn't go up and down like many diesel pickups, and you have to ramp up crazily to get the most torque output.
At the same time, the benefit is quiet, whether it is high speed or climbing, the movement of the engine when intervening in power generation is very slight, and it will not be as irritating as the traditional fuel pickup truck has an irritating engine sound at any time.
It carries the Blue Whale 20T range extender, the maximum power can reach 140kw, and 92 oil can be added. Adopt the best power generation and energy supplement design, that is, according to the current working conditions and the amount of remaining electricity. Also equipped with a 70L capacity fuel tank and a piece of 3118kWh battery, support slow charging + fast charging.
As for energy consumption, the Changan Hunter has a comprehensive range of up to 1031km under CLTC working conditions. The lowest comprehensive fuel consumption can reach 79L 100km, 4WD model 85L 100km, which is basically the fuel-efficient ceiling of this class of pickup truck models.
As a pickup truck, it is still inseparable from the characteristics of durable leather and hard-core off-road.
Chang'an Hunter retains the non-load-bearing girder chassis, and the power battery is protected in the girder** with multi-layer protection, so there is no need to worry about daily gravel bumps.
The new car is also equipped with an intelligent electronically controlled four-wheel drive system and a "three locks" composed of front and rear axle differential locks + energy locks, which support three drive modes: 2H, Auto automatic and 4L, which can meet the light off-road needs of pickup trucks.
It is precisely because of the design of the bottom of the battery that the center of mass of the whole car of the Changan Hunter is lower, the handling stability has been improved to a certain extent, and it will appear more flat and stable in the bumpy section of the off-road, and the body shaking is much weaker than that of traditional fuel pickups.
On the other hand, the Changan Hunter also adopts the arrangement of the longitudinal engine, leaving more space for the front suspension of the vehicle, and adopts the double wishbone front suspension, so the steering of the whole car is more flexible, and the experience is no different from that of a compact SUV.
Brother Yu said. Pickup trucks are destined to be subject to a lot of controversy, but now the attributes of pickup trucks are not limited to tool cars, more and more people regard pickup trucks as toy cars, outdoor camping on weekends, or long-distance self-driving trips, or RV trips. The power form of Chang'an Hunter's extended-range pickup truck does solve the shortcomings of the pickup truck, such as high fuel consumption and difficult driving, and it is convenient enough to replenish energy with oil and electricity, and there will be no anxiety in long-distance travel. （zw）
