Chinese state-owned automobile manufacturer Changan has revealed its new vehicle, the Changan Hunter. It is the first ever car with extended range technology (EREV).

Hunter is 5,380 mm long and has a wheelbase of 3,180 millimeters, and customers can choose an extended version with a double cab, which also brings a longer cargo space. This means a longer overall vehicle length (5,630 mm) and a longer wheelbase of 3,430 mm. On the other hand, Changan Hunter still has a small payload for this type of car, only 495 kilograms.

The vehicle will be powered by a 2.0L turbo gasoline engine combined with an electric motor with a total power of 177 hp (132 kW), with rear-wheel drive. The version with AWD will be powered by a 2.0L turbo petrol in combination with two electric motors with a total power of 190 hp (142 kW).

Both versions are equipped with a 31.18 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery that enables a range of 180 kilometers, CLTC. Thanks to extended-range technology, the gasoline engine produces electricity for the electric motors, which is stored in the battery via a generator, providing a range of 1,031 kilometers. The company claims that regardless of the AWD or RWD version, the range is the same.

When it comes to price, the single-engine Hunter Warrior Edition Deluxe starts at 139,900 yuan ($19,700), while the AWD version costs 149,900 yuan ($21,090).
