  • A dependable double cab engineered for real-world business use
  • Turbo diesel performance built for daily workload demands
  • Practical comfort that supports long hours and multiple drivers
  • Proven capability across urban, site, and off-road environments
  • Predictable ownership costs backed by Changan Journey

In working industries, vehicles are not lifestyle statements; they are operational assets. They need to perform consistently, remain comfortable over long hours and deliver predictable costs over time. The Changan Hunter Diesel Range has been developed with this exact reality in mind. It is a double cab designed to support productivity, reduce downtime and deliver value where it matters most – on the job, consistently.

A Nameplate Designed for Practical Application

The Changan Hunter Diesel nameplate is positioned to meet the needs of businesses operating in construction, mining support, telecommunications, agriculture, utilities, government fleets, and small-to-medium enterprises. Rather than over-specifying or chasing luxury cues, the Hunter Diesel focuses on usability, durability and balance – without compromise. It is equally capable of serving as a work vehicle during the week and a mixed-use vehicle outside of working hours – an important consideration for owner-drivers and SME operators.

Turbo Diesel Performance for Consistent Workloads

Powering the Hunter Diesel Range is a 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel engine producing 110kW and 350Nm of torque. This output is optimised for low- and mid-range performance, ensuring reliable pulling power for carrying equipment, tools, and loads, as well as towing where required. The 2WD manual variant offers efficiency and direct control for urban and highway-based operations, while the 4WD automatic derivative adds versatility for businesses operating across varied terrain and access conditions. Together, the range provides flexible drivetrain options without unnecessary complexity.

Comfort and Ergonomics That Support Long Working Days

In many industries, drivers spend extended hours behind the wheel. The Hunter Diesel’s cabin is designed to reduce fatigue and improve usability through a comfortable driving position, supportive seating, and clear control layout. A large touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ enables hands-free connectivity, while practical storage spaces and durable interior materials ensure the cabin stands up to daily use. The interior strikes a balance between refinement and robustness – comfortable enough for long shifts, durable enough for working environments.

Technology and Safety That Work in the Background

The Changan Hunter Diesel integrates driver assistance and safety features that support confident operation without introducing unnecessary maintenance or complexity.           

Standard systems include electronic stability control (ESP), traction control (TCS), hill assist, reverse camera technology, tyre pressure monitoring, and multiple airbags.These features help protect drivers, cargo, and vehicles across varying conditions, contributing to safer operation and reduced incident risk – a key consideration for fleet and business owners.

Capability On and Off Road

For businesses that operate off-road or on uneven surfaces, the Hunter Diesel 4WD provides genuine all-terrain capability. With selectable four-wheel drive, hill descent control, rear differential lock, and strong ground clearance, it is equipped to access work sites, rural roads, and challenging environments with confidence. This ensures operational flexibility, allowing work to continue regardless of terrain or conditions.

Peace of Mind For The Long Haul, Through Changan Journey

For business owners and fleet operators, reliability and cost predictability are critical. Changan Journey underpins the Hunter Diesel Range with comprehensive aftersales support designed to reduce downtime and long-term ownership risk. This includes a 5-year / 150,000km warranty, 5 years of roadside assistance, and guaranteed parts availability, supported by a rapidly expanding national dealer network. Together, these elements help simplify maintenance planning, improve vehicle uptime, and support a lower total cost of ownership.

The Changan Hunter Diesel Range delivers what working businesses need most – dependable performance, practical comfort and long-term support, without unnecessary expense or complexity.

The all-new Hunter Diesel Range. Comfortably, More Capable.

Changan Hunter 2.0L 2WD MT CS. Retail price R449 900, From R5299 p/m.
