Touted as the world's first range-extended electric pickup, the Hunter REEV attracted significant attention at the show, where Changan's new technology and versatile design approach resonated with local consumers interested in sustainable mobility options.
HYBRID WITH A TWIST
First introduced at the 2023 Guangzhou Auto Show, the Hunter REEV, equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged motor acting solely as a generator, stands out as a solution to the limited EV infrastructure in many parts of the Philippines. Unlike traditional hybrids, the engine in the Hunter is not used to drive the wheels directly; instead, it charges a 31.8 kWh lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) battery, which can also be charged via an external plug. This setup enables drivers to rely on electric power for shorter trips while offering an extended range of up to 1,031 kilometers when combining battery power with a full tank of gas.
The battery-only range clocks in at 180 kilometers, making it ideal for city commutes or short trips.
