As the penetration rate of new energy continues to reach new highs, major automobile manufacturers have also accelerated their transformation. The same is true for commercial vehicles, especially the pickup truck market, where pure electric, hybrid, extended range, and hydrogen energy are flourishing. On March 1, Changan Pickup took the lead in mass production of the world's first super extended range pickup truck - Changan Hunter. This car has just been launched on March 1, what is the strength?
In terms of appearance, the overall style of Chang'an Hunter is young and fashionable, and the design style of the front face is similar to that of the UNI series, which is highly recognizable; The interior of the car adopts the popular dual-screen design of the Changan passenger car family. If it's your first time in a car, I'm sure many people won't think it's the interior of a pickup truck.
In terms of cargo box size, Changan Hunter offers two options: standard version and long car version. Among them, the length, width and height of the standard version are 5380 1980 1875mm, and the wheelbase is 3180mm; The length, width and height of the long car version are 5630, 1930 and 1885mm respectively, and the wheelbase has reached 3430mm.
Two different sizes to meet different needs and uses. There is a bold idea, at the moment when pickup trucks are "stamped" legally into the city, the version of the long cargo box can even be used as a carrier for modified RVs, which can be satisfied for daily use or holiday travel.
As a range-extender pickup, power performance must be the most concerned by everyone. Judging from the official data, the power combination of the Changan Hunter pickup truck is very impressive. Under CLTC working conditions, the comprehensive cruising range can exceed 1000 kilometers, and the electric cruising range can reach 180 kilometers.
In terms of transmission, Changan Hunter offers two models of two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, with a motor on the front wheel half axle and rear axle. In terms of fuel consumption, the fuel consumption of the two-wheel drive version of the Changan Hunter is 79L, the fuel consumption of the four-wheel drive version is 85l。Even the fuel consumption data is very low for a 5-meter-long pickup truck.
The dual-motor four-wheel drive model is the most expected, it has "three locks", and the off-road performance is on par with that of a fuel pickup. Compared with the traditional mechanical differential lock, the electronic differential lock can switch between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive while driving.
For those who are keen on outdoor off-roading, Chang'an hunters are also friendly. In particular, 2With a towing qualification of 5 tons, it can infinitely expand the use scenarios and have a movable home in various outdoor environments, including transporting camping equipment or lure equipment, towing yachts or RVs.
Compared with fuel consumption, I am more satisfied with the quietness of this extended-range pickup. This is due to the fact that it uses range extender technology, which is driven by an electric motor for smoother output, and the engine is only responsible for generating electricity, making it quieter and less vibrating than traditional fuel pickups.
In addition, Chang'an Hunter also has an external discharge function, supporting dual 220V plug 33kw external discharge. Compared with ordinary electric pickup trucks, it has the advantage that it is more convenient to use, and even if the battery is out, the engine can be started immediately to replenish the battery.
Afterword
At present, the domestic market is still in its infancy, and the Changan Hunter took the lead in mass production to seize the market opportunity and fired the "first shot" of the first year of new energy pickup. Compared with the same level of fuel pickup, Changan Hunter is smoother, more comfortable and more fuel-efficient, compared with the same level of electric pickup, Changan Hunter has no electricity anxiety, no battery life anxiety, no travel anxiety, more practicality and expansibility, and the cost of buying a car is also lower, I believe that there will be a good market performance in the future.
