Introducing South Africa’s Better, Balanced, Bakkie.

Pretoria, South Africa - In a market crowded with bold claims and “tougher” promises, the Changan Hunter Diesel Range takes a different approach. It doesn’t chase extremes or overcomplicate the category. Instead, it delivers something far more valuable to South African buyers – balance.

Designed for workdays and weekends, business use and family life, the Hunter Diesel Range brings together capability, comfort, and value in a way that feels considered, not compromised – at a retail price that’s difficult to ignore. That’s what makes this double cab comfortably, more capable.

A Modern Nameplate Built for Real-World Use

The Hunter Diesel nameplate represents a new generation of double cab thinking. Strong without being aggressive. Refined without compromising on hard working credentials. It’s a bakkie engineered to meet the demands of everyday South African driving conditions, while still feeling modern and well-thought out.

Available in both 2WD and 4WD derivatives, the Hunter Diesel is positioned to serve a wide range of needs – from urban commuting and business use to travel, leisure, and off-road work. Its balanced proportions, confident stance and practical load bed make it a contender for the most genuine all-rounder, in the local double cab segment.

Turbo Diesel Power That Delivers Where It Matters

Powering the Hunter Diesel Range is a 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel engine producing 110kW of power and 350Nm of torque. This output is delivered where it matters most – in the low to mid-range – ensuring plenty pulling power when loads, towing and long-distance driving.

The 2WD model is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, offering direct control and efficiency for everyday use. The 4WD variant features a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering smooth shifts and added convenience, particularly in stop-start traffic or challenging conditions. This drivetrain combination ensures dependable performance, predictable fuel consumption, and the kind of diesel credibility South African bakkie buyers expect.

Design & Style That Feels Purposeful

The Hunter Diesel’s exterior design is modern and purposeful, combining clean body lines with practical detailing. LED daytime running lights enhance visibility and road presence, while the robust front grille and confident stance communicate strength without unnecessary aggression.

Inside, the cabin reflects the same balance. A modern dashboard layout is anchored by a large, high-definition infotainment screen, offering Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity for seamless smartphone integration. Durable trim materials are paired with thoughtful finishes, ensuring the interior feels refined enough for daily use, yet tough enough to handle working conditions. Seating is supportive and comfortable, with leather upholstery available on higher-spec models, while keyless entry and push-button start (on selected derivatives) add everyday convenience.

Ownership Confidence Through Changan Journey

Capability doesn’t end when the engine is switched off. With Changan Journey, Hunter Diesel owners benefit from comprehensive aftersales support designed to reduce ownership stress and long-term uncertainty. 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 provide peace of mind, predictable ownership costs and confidence that support is always within reach. It’s an ownership package designed to match the Hunter Diesel’s balanced approach – practical, dependable and built for the long haul.

The Changan Hunter Diesel Range isn’t about chasing extremes or empty promises. It’s about delivering a smarter, more balanced solution for South Africans who want real capability without any regret.
