MUNICH, June 15 (World Daily Times) — Changan’s Hunter pickup line is moving deeper into global work-truck markets, with a range-extended version already being marketed in South Africa, but official materials reviewed by Times Media Service did not confirm reported China pricing for a 2026 Hunter K50.

Changan Motors South Africa lists the Hunter as a range-extended EV pickup starting at 799,900 rand. The company says the truck uses a 31.2 kW battery and a 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine, with 200 kW of combined power, 350 Nm of torque and a 2,200 kg towing capacity.

The same official page also lists diesel Hunter variants, with a 2.0-liter 2WD version starting at 449,900 rand and a 2.0-liter 4WD version from 569,900 rand. Changan says those diesel models produce 110 kW and 350 Nm.

A June 15 industry listing reviewed by Times Media Service said a 2026 Hunter K50 had launched from 141,900 yuan, but Times Media Service could not independently verify that figure from an official Changan China release, filing or price sheet.

A separate 2025 Hunter K50 database entry reviewed by Times Media Service showed an April 2025 release timing and a 127,900-to-192,900-yuan price range, along with 200 kW total power, 2,360 kg curb weight and a 115 km CLTC range. The upstream official source for that entry was not identified in the materials reviewed.
