In terms of appearance, the front face of the Changan hunter pickup uses a frameless matrix front grille design, with two front grille colors of the same color and overall blackening, which looks quite avant-garde as a whole. The large-size front grille maintains close contact with the sharp headlamp groups on both sides, forming an overall area.

At the same time, the overall screen adopts a design inclined to the driver's side, and the air outlet of the penetrating air conditioner is at the bottom of the central control screen. On the whole, the new car can not only show the tool properties, but also bring a quite comfortable travel experience for passengers, which is very important in the current pickup market.

At present, the major car companies are actively laying out the pickup market, which can be described as letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend. Not long ago, the new Ford Ranger Ranger was officially launched on December 20, with a total of eight models with a price range of 14.58-240800 yuan. On the power side, the Ford Ranger will offer 2.3T turbocharged gasoline engines and 2.3T turbocharged diesel engines.

In terms of transmission system, it is matched by an 8-gear automatic transmission.

Although there are many pickup models, add-on pickups are still relatively rare. Combined with the price, the radar RD6 can be regarded as its competitor. The price range of the radar RD6 is 14.58-268800 yuan. The difference is that it is a pure electric pickup, including three battery-lasting versions such as the 410km/550km/632km. In addition, the newly launched domestic Ford Ranger can also be seen as a competitor to Changan Hunter, which is a fuel pickup truck. After all, the competitiveness of 2.3T engine + 8AT gearbox is also quite strong.

In recent years, the change of pickup market is particularly obvious, more and more household, more and more take into account the use of users and driving needs. Of course, as a pickup truck, the tool attribute is still one of the core competitiveness that can not be ignored. Compared with pure electric, the added program pickup is more in line with the needs of the pickup market. After all, pure electric models still have the problem of mileage anxiety. For pickups, which are mainly responsible for engineering tasks, the existence of mileage anxiety will undoubtedly make users back down, while extended range power can well avoid the pain point. However, compared with fuel pickup, will you still choose add-on pickup?
