On October 23, the Changan Hunter K70, an extended-range off-road pickup, was officially launched. The new vehicle introduces two models: the Standard Bed 4WD Large Battery Edition Navigator and the Flagship, with official guide prices of 192,900 yuan and 207,900 yuan, respectively. At the same time, the Changan Hunter K70 Flying Pig Edition, focused on outdoor living, made its debut simultaneously at a price of 249,800 yuan, offering off-road enthusiasts a brand-new choice for pickup-based travel and living. Changan has also prepared generous purchase incentives for consumers, further lowering the barrier to entry.
Today, off-road traversing and field operations are gradually moving from niche hobbies into the mainstream, and consumers' understanding of pickups is also changing. Pickups are no longer merely simple work vehicles; users expect a vehicle that can handle daily urban commuting while also being capable of long-distance expeditions to remote secret destinations, providing end-to-end support for equipment loading, passage through complex road conditions, and power supply for field operations and living. However, looking across the pickup products currently on the market, there are still difficult-to-reconcile pain points: traditional fuel pickups have strong off-road capability and can venture into remote uninhabited areas, but their field power supply capability is weak, and camping or operations require carrying bulky additional generators; battery-electric pickups have excellent power-use capability but are constrained by range and off-road hardware, making long-distance wilderness crossings difficult, falling into the industry dilemma of "the ones that can discharge power cannot go far, and the ones that can go far cannot discharge power."
The arrival of the Changan Hunter K70 precisely targets this industry shortcoming. Relying on the advantages of extended-range technology, it integrates strong off-road performance with high-power external discharge capability to create a complete "off-road capable and power-capable" solution, breaking the inherent limitations of fuel pickups and battery-electric pickups, further broadening the boundaries of pickup use, and providing off-road enthusiasts and outdoor professionals with a one-stop all-scenario travel companion.
For long-distance expedition travel, ample loading capacity is the fundamental guarantee. The Changan Hunter K70 has a cargo box size of 1600×1595×500 mm and a cargo box volume of 1276 L. With class-leading loading capability, it can easily accommodate a full set of camping and off-road gear; drones, tents, outdoor tools, and team supplies can all be stowed with ease, and it also supports flexible aftermarket modification and expansion, adapting to the diverse loading needs of field operations and long-distance expeditions. The new vehicle features the pickup industry's first multifunctional cargo box tailgate and folding step, making loading and unloading large equipment time-saving and labor-saving; the factory-equipped ultra-corrosion-resistant cargo box protective liner is waterproof, moisture-proof, wear-resistant, and scratch-resistant, so the cargo box remains durable in harsh outdoor environments such as gravel and muddy water.
To reach secret destinations, strong off-road passing capability is indispensable. The Changan Hunter K70 has been deeply tuned for off-road scenarios and can calmly handle complex field road conditions in stock form. The vehicle has a 38° approach angle, 28° departure angle, 245 mm minimum ground clearance, and 650 mm wading depth, and is equipped with LT285/70R17 all-terrain AT tires, allowing it to smoothly pass through complex terrain such as shell craters, riverbeds, mud, and sand. In terms of power, the front and rear dual motors deliver a combined maximum power of 260 kW and peak torque of 559 N·m, providing ample power for starting and climbing. The industry's first electric-drive two-speed axle achieves a threefold increase in wheel-end speed ratio in low-speed four-wheel drive, paired with a full set of all-terrain locking systems and a 2.5-ton factory towing rating. When the vehicle gets stuck or slips, it can not only self-rescue but also rescue companion vehicles, giving users full confidence whether traveling through mountains or exploring no-man's-land.
To adapt to diverse road conditions, the Changan Hunter K70 is equipped with 10 major driving modes, covering multiple off-road scenarios such as mountains, sand, snow, mud, and wading, and users can switch modes with one touch according to road conditions. It is also equipped with a professional off-road assistance system, and the instrument panel can display key information in real time such as altitude, latitude and longitude, body attitude, and differential lock working status, making the vehicle status clear at a glance. Even off-road beginners can quickly get started and conquer the wild.
Range anxiety has always been a major obstacle to long-distance expeditions. The Changan Hunter K70 adopts an extended-range architecture that can run on either fuel or electricity, with an NEDC pure electric range of 150 km, fully meeting daily urban commuting needs; the combined range can reach 897 km. Calculated on the basis of a 300 km crossing distance per day, the vehicle can easily complete a two-day, one-night field trip without needing to recharge en route. If paired with a portable fuel can in the rear bed, it can also challenge ultra-long-distance no-man's-land crossings of over 1000 km, completely eliminating range concerns.
For off-road travel, safety is always the first priority. The Changan Hunter K70 builds a dual safety defense line from the two major dimensions of battery and body. In terms of the battery, it is equipped with CATL Tianxing battery, featuring five major protections: cage-type battery anti-collision structure, all-weather thermal management and temperature control, zero thermal propagation, high-strength rolled steel box body, and IP68 high-level sealing, achieving collision resistance, dust resistance, and water resistance, ensuring battery safety in extreme outdoor environments. The body adopts a body-on-frame rigid chassis and a high-strength off-road body, maximizing the survival space of the cabin in rollover and side-impact accidents. In the event of a collision, the vehicle can automatically unlock the doors and cut off the fuel circuit, buying precious escape time for occupants, while 6 airbags further improve passive protection and comprehensively safeguard the safety of those inside.
The problem of field power use is also a major concern for many outdoor enthusiasts. Traditional solutions rely on generators, which are noisy, fuel-hungry, and very troublesome to carry and transport. The Changan Hunter K70 is equipped with a 43.47 kWh large-capacity battery and, together with the 2.0T Blue Whale range extender, provides power as long as there is fuel; with a full tank and full charge, the total stored energy can reach 239 kWh. Calculated on the basis of 10 kWh consumption per night, it can support an outdoor team of 4 vehicles in continuous camping for 6 nights without the need to carry additional generators, truly achieving freedom of field power use.
The new vehicle is equipped with the industry's first 30 kW super external discharge function, capable of powering lighting, communications, medical equipment, and high-power operation tools. A 3.3 kW dual 220V discharge panel is also provided inside the cargo box, making daily power needs such as boiling water, cooking, and outdoor entertainment easy to handle. The 30 kW high-power discharge and the 3.3 kW daily-life discharge can work simultaneously, allowing high-power operation equipment and household appliances to run at the same time, so work and camping do not interfere with each other.
In terms of exterior design, the Changan Hunter K70 adopts a wide-body rugged style, with a 2085 mm wide body, the family's borderless grille paired with T-shaped headlights, and maximum recognizability. The factory offers a Jiangshan Red color scheme paired with a blacked-out package, complemented by sporty decals and AT off-road tires, combining urban trendiness with rugged off-road character. It has a commanding presence on city roads and is equally striking when roaming the mountains and wilds.
For users pursuing a travel-and-living experience, the Changan Hunter K70 Flying Pig Edition brings an advanced outdoor lifestyle solution. The aviation-grade all-aluminum camper box is lightweight and easy to install and remove, with flexible and variable space. Inside, it is equipped with a 2 m × 1.7 m push-pull over-cab bed and a 1.6 m × 0.6 m folding small bed, able to accommodate 3–4 people for rest, along with a folding dining table and folding sink, allowing free switching between daytime leisure and relaxation and nighttime sleep and rest. It is also equipped with an outdoor tarpaulin, a 70 L fresh water tank, and a shower kit, bringing the comfort of home to the wilderness and bidding farewell to the sense of compromise in outdoor living.
As the world's first extended-range off-road pickup, the Changan Hunter K70 breaks out of the capability limitations of traditional pickup products, integrating strong off-road performance, long-distance range, high-power external discharge, and large loading capacity into one vehicle, balancing multiple scenarios including urban commuting, long-distance expeditions, field operations, and outdoor living. It is not just a means of transportation, but also a reliable travel guarantee for outdoor enthusiasts, helping users reach more distant places that were previously difficult to access and experience the unique charm of wilderness and mountains.
