Twin of the Peugeot Landtrek slots in below the range-extending Hunter REEV.
Saudi Arabian importer, Jameel Motors, has completed its product roll-out for South Africa for now by revealing price and specification details of the diesel-powered Changan Hunter.
Where it started
The sibling of the range-extending Hunter REEV, the combustion Hunter rates as the model that provides the base for the Peugeot Landtrek, as well as the Mexican Ram 1200 and South American Fiat Titano.

Compared to the Landtrek though, the Hunter, which also wore the Kaicene F70 name in China, has a different front facia design, but keeps the same rear-end styling with the only difference being the Changan lettering on the tailgate.
Dimensions
Dimensionally, the Hunter measures 5 330 mm long, 1 930 mm wide and 1 875 mm tall, with its wheelbase stretching 3 180 mm.
Offering 226 mm of ground clearance, the Hunter has a payload of 1 000 kg for two-wheel drive models and 1 100 kg for four-wheel drives, and a loadbed length of 1 520 mm long, 1 520 mm wide and 500 mm tall.
Single powerunit
Up front, the Hunter eschews the Landtrek’s 1.9-litre turbodiesel for a 2.0-litre oil-burner, however, power and torque figures are the same at 110kW/350Nm.
On two-wheel-drive models, a six-speed manual sends torque to the rear axle, while four-wheel drive variants are fitted with a six-speed automatic.
