Changan Hunter
The Changan Hunter (F70 BlueWhale) is a wide-body pickup truck built on a rugged body-on-frame chassis co-developed with PSA. It is powered by Changan's BlueWhale 2.0T turbo petrol engine (171 kW / 233 hp, 390 N·m) mated to a ZF 8-speed automatic or 6-speed manual, with 4×2 rear-wheel drive as standard and an optional BorgWarner part-time 4×4 system for tough terrain. A 1,850 mm cargo bed, 80 L tank and 28° approach / 27° departure angles make it ready for both work and overland use.
Key Highlights
- BlueWhale 2.0T + ZF 8AT – 171 kW / 390 N·m from 1,900 rpm, 92# petrol; smooth ZF 8-speed auto or robust 6-speed manual for fleet and off-road duty.
- True 4×4 option – BorgWarner part-time 4-wheel drive with low-range capability; 28° approach and 27° departure angles for rough job sites and trails.
- Practical cargo body – 1,850 × 1,595 × 500 mm cargo bed, 80 L fuel tank, ~495 kg payload and a 3.43 m wheelbase for stable heavy loads.
