The Changan Hunter K50 is the truck we keep coming back to when a dealer asks for something that drives like an EV but still earns its keep on a job site. It’s a range-extended pickup — no, not a plug-in hybrid with a clutch, something simpler and honestly better suited to a ladder-frame workhorse: a 2.0T petrol engine that never drives the wheels, sitting there only to make electricity for two motors, one on each axle. You get EV silence in town and a full tank’s worth of security the moment the road gets long. Quiet in here than the diesel it replaces would have you expect, and that’s before you’ve loaded a thing.

Exterior

Shark-nose up front, with a borderless grille and those “Hunter eye” LED clusters that actually read as angry rather than decorative — the bit I’d point out to a customer is how the rough bumper and flared arches still belong to a proper ute, not a crossover playing dress-up. Two body lengths: the standard box sits 5,380 mm long on a 3,180 mm wheelbase, the long box stretches to 5,630 mm on 3,430 mm, and both stand 1,875–1,885 mm tall with 220 mm of clearance underneath. Approach is 29°, departure 26°, and it’ll wade 600 mm — figures that matter the day a site floods, not the day you park it. AT tyres are standard, the cargo bed runs 1,600×1,595 mm (short) or 1,850×1,595 mm (long), and the tailgate eases down on its own hinges so you’re not catching 90 kg of steel with your shins.

Interior

Calmer in here than the shell outside would have you expect. Dual screens float across the dash — a 12.3-inch centre unit with a 7.5-inch cluster tucked behind the wheel, Huawei HMS for Car does the processing so the maps and VR voice keep up in ten-odd languages, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and the column-mounted shifter gets out of the way so the console stays open for tools. Try working a touchscreen with gloves on and you’ll see why the physical climate buttons survive. Five seats, heated fronts on the upper trims, and a 540° camera that shows the ground beneath you — useful when you’re nudging a trailer into mud you can’t see. L2 assist rides along for the long highway hauls.

Powertrain and Chassis

Battery and an engine that only charges it — the Hunter K50 has no driveshaft from the 2.0T, nothing to fill up at the pump for daily running. The extender makes 140 kW on its own and feeds a dual-motor 4WD rated 200 kW combined, or 272 PS, plus 470 N·m, reaching 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds, which is quick and honestly more than a diesel ute can manage off the line. A 31.18 kWh LFP pack gives 131 km NEDC of pure electric, or call that around 180 km CLTC; top the generator up and total range lands near 1,000 km, no charger required. Underneath there’s a double-wishbone front and a leaf-sprung rigid rear on the ladder frame, which is the boring choice that keeps payload at 495 kg and towing at 2.5 tonnes — and three differential locks with ten drive modes show up the moment the track turns to sand or snow. The 30 kW V2L outlet, though, that’s the surprise: it runs power tools, a campsite, or drone batteries straight from the bed.

FAQ

Does the Hunter K50 come in a single-cab or only double-cab? Double-cab only, five seats, both box lengths. If your buyers need a two-door work tray we’d steer them to a different Changan variant — say the word and we’ll list it.

How long does the battery actually last in hot climates? LFP cells, cage-wrapped into the frame, tested through Thai summers and Middle East heat. They lose capacity slowly by nature, and Changan backs the pack for eight years or 160,000 km in most markets we serve.

Is the 2.0T extender noisy when it kicks in? Less than you’d fear. It spins up at highway cruise or low charge and sits a tone above the EV whine — cabin noise holds around 63 dB at 100 km/h, close to a sedan, not a tractor.

Can I import the Changan Hunter K50 to my country? Yes, provided your market accepts left-hand-drive range-extended pickups and the local type-approval covers it. We handle export documentation, container or Ro-Ro shipping, and arrival port clearance; you handle inland transport and registration. Tell us your destination port and we’ll confirm what’s needed.

How do we supply the Hunter K50 and how do we start? We’re an export trading company, not a manufacturer — we source directly from Changan and move units to overseas dealers and self-importers. Start with your target market and volume, we quote ex-works or FOB, lock specs and colours, then handle booking, bills of lading and customs paperwork end to end. One email and we’ll send the curr
