Watch: First Impressions 2026 Changan Hunter REEV
First Impressions of the Changan Hunter REEV
In this video, the presenters share their first impressions of the Changan Hunter REEV (Range Extended Electric Vehicle), also referred to as the Changan Hunter K50 REEV (0:17 - 0:27).
Key takeaways from the video:
- Vehicle Characteristics: They describe the vehicle as feeling more like an SUV than a traditional bakkie (pick-up truck) and note some interesting features, such as an integrated driver recorder (0:31 - 0:42).
- Efficiency Concerns: The presenters note that the vehicle has been consuming more fuel than expected, stating they doubt they will reach the advertised 1,000 km range, estimating it might be closer to 500 km (0:46 - 1:03).
- Background: The team mentions their previous experience with the Changan Hunter diesel model, which was a product of a collaboration with Peugeot (the Peugeot Landtrek) (1:15 - 1:27).
- Driving Experience: The vehicle is noted for being quite silent, particularly when in EV mode, which draws attention from onlookers (1:42 - 1:52).
The presenters conclude by directing viewers to their various social media channels and their website, iloveza.com, where they will post a full, detailed review of the vehicle (1:55 - 2:40).
