In recent years, the off-road vehicle and pickup truck market has gradually become a new growth pole.
However, at this stage, although brands such as BYD and Great Wall have introduced off-road vehicles into the new energy camp, most pickup trucks still retain the traditional fuel structure.
Changan Automobile, which is carrying out a major transformation of new energy, sees an opportunity in the new energy pickup market.
On December 22, the first extended-range pickup truck model, the Changan Hunter, officially opened pre-sale.
As a pickup truck model with basically the same size as the Ford Ranger, the Changan Hunter has a pre-sale range of 1399-21.690,000 yuan.
In this price range, how does the Changan hunter perform?
First, let's look at the dimension of design.
In fact, Chang'an Hunter gives people an intuitive feeling that it belongs to the same type of pickup truck as Lantuo, which has a modern and fashionable design sense, which can not only meet the needs of the commercial market, but also meet the needs of off-road players and enthusiasts.
And we can also see that the front face position of the Chang'an hunter, on the basis of the Chang'an family design, has added more sharp elements, which makes this pickup have a more ferocious "sense of attack" characteristics.
When it comes to the interior, the Changan Hunter brings a softer design style.
The design of the center console on the driver's side, with soft material wrapping and a more elegant interior color, the overall style is similar to that of an SUV passenger car.
In addition, it should be mentioned that the Changan Hunter uses a relatively rich number of physical buttons in the center console, which can provide convenient blind operation performance for the driver when off-road.
Of course, as a range-extended pickup truck model, consumers are actually more concerned about the core mechanical structure and power system of Changan Hunter.
Next, we focus on the core mechanical quality performance of the new car.
In terms of the overall body structure, the Changan Hunter still adopts a girder-type non-load-bearing body structure.
The front upper wishbone suspension and the rear integral axle suspension can provide good support and comfort performance for the vehicle. At the same time, this infrastructure also guarantees the vehicle's off-road capability.
In terms of power, the Changan Hunter is equipped with an extended-range power system, which consists of 20T Blue Whale range extender (longitudinal), large-capacity drive battery and single motor and dual motor composition.
To put it simply, the extended-range model can achieve the ability to "oil and electricity". When the battery is depleted, 2The 0T Blue Whale range extender replenishes the battery in the form of power generation, which is a relatively simple but practical power type.
In terms of power performance, the four-wheel drive version of the Changan Hunter has a total power of 200kw from the front and rear motors, and it passes 79 seconds of 000 acceleration brings enough power performance.
In addition, on the front and rear axles of this model, Changan also provides a differential lock configuration, which can be matched with a high-power motor in off-road scenarios to achieve efficient escape.
It is worth mentioning that the 20T Blue Whale range extender, with a maximum power of 100kw, can provide sufficient power for the battery when the vehicle is uphill or off-road with a large load, so as to meet the performance requirements in the feeding state.
In terms of detailed parameters, the Changan Hunter has a pure electric range of 180km under CLTC working conditions, which is enough to save energy in urban and short-distance commuting scenarios
In long-distance travel, the combined cruising range of 1031km can also meet the needs of consumers for long-distance trekking.
In addition to the core power, Chang'an Hunter has also carried out subdivided design for different scenarios.
For example, in the camping scene, you can pass 33kw 220V plug for external power supplyAnd the maximum reserve power of the vehicle reaches 227kWh, which can provide more than 100 hours of endurance for 2kW electrical equipment outdoors.
Written at the end: In the current market, extended-range SUVs and off-road vehicles are not uncommon, and the category of fuel pickup trucks is relatively rich.
However, the model that can combine pickup trucks with extended range power, Changan Hunter is still the "first".
It is also based on the setting of extended-range new energy, Changan Hunter, a medium-sized pickup truck, is also expected to form a relatively unique competitiveness and gain the attention of off-road players and commercial consumers.
