Changan Hunter Feizhu EREV Pickup Camper Launches at RMB 249,800 With Detachable All-Aluminum Cabin

Changan Auto officially put the all-new Hunter Feizhu (Flying Pig) on sale on June 14, 2026, pricing the EREV pickup camper at RMB 249,800 (USD 34,500). Built on the Hunter K70 chassis, the Feizhu is a niche but increasingly important format for the Chinese new-energy pickup market: a serious off-road truck that converts on-demand into a fully-equipped camper for multi-day off-grid travel. It joins the 2026 Changan Hunter K50 PHEV pickup launch in Changan’s broadening pickup family, but with a very different mission profile.

For overseas readers tracking the global rebirth of the lifestyle pickup, the Feizhu is one of the first extended-range electric (EREV) trucks specifically engineered around overlanding and off-grid living, instead of merely retrofitting an internal combustion ladder frame.

Pricing and Positioning

At RMB 249,800 (USD 34,500), the Feizhu sits at the upper end of Changan’s Hunter range. It targets buyers who would historically have purchased a Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro plus aftermarket camper rig, or a Ford F-150 Lightning with a Lance camper, all-in for far less money. The truck launches alongside the 2026 Changan Hunter K50 lifestyle PHEV released the day before; the two address very different buyers — K50 for daily PHEV pickup duty, Feizhu for hardcore off-grid lifestyle.

Dimensions and Off-Road Hardware

The Feizhu measures a serious 5,730 mm long, 2,150 mm wide, and 2,200 mm tall. Off-road capability comes from a beefed-up version of the Hunter K70 ladder-on-frame architecture with the following standard features:

• Two-speed transfer case with low-range mode delivering 3× torque multiplication at the wheels, dramatically improving low-speed climbing and rock-crawling capability.
• Optional all-terrain AT tire upgrade for buyers serious about loose-surface and snow performance.
• Reinforced 555 N·m peak combined torque via the EREV powertrain.

Powertrain: 2.0T Blue Whale EREV With Dual-Motor AWD

The Feizhu’s powertrain pairs Changan’s 2.0T Blue Whale range-extender with a high-power dual-motor AWD system. Combined peak torque is rated at 555 N·m, with seamless front-rear torque vectoring for technical trails. The drive battery is a 43.47 kWh CATL 2C fast-charge pack, allowing short city commutes in pure-electric mode and rapid recharging at compatible DC fast-chargers when traveling.

Total Stored Energy: 239 kWh — Built for Multi-Day Off-Grid

The killer feature for camping use is the truck’s combined energy reservoir. With a full tank of fuel and a fully charged battery, the Feizhu carries 239 kWh of total stored power, enough to support multiple days of camping for a family of four — easily covering induction cooking, refrigeration, lighting, fan-driven HVAC, and entertainment. The truck supports 2 kW dedicated bidirectional power output through 220V, USB, USB-C, and 12V automotive sockets, plus a standard 2 kW induction cooktop installed in the camper cabin.

The Detachable Aluminum Camper Cabin

The Feizhu’s signature feature is its detachable aviation-grade all-aluminum camper cabin. The cabin is engineered to:

• Lock to the bed in seconds via integrated quick-release fittings.
• Lift off completely so the truck reverts to a regular pickup form factor for daily commuting (reducing wind drag and fuel use).
• Carry sleeping space for 3-4 people: an upper push-out bed measuring 2.0 m × 1.7 m with foam mattress, plus a lower fold-out bed at 1.6 m × 0.6 m.

The interior also packs a folding dining table, folding sink, optional electric raise/lower roof tent, optional 12V vehicle fridge, and a full menu of camping accessories.

Safety and Practical Touches

Standard safety includes smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors, a 2 kg vehicle-grade fire extinguisher, and dedicated rear cargo storage space behind the camper. Multi-layer insulating glass and a thoroughly ducted HVAC system mean the cabin holds livable temperatures in extreme conditions.

Why the EREV Format Makes Sense for Camping

For overseas buyers familiar with the Rivian R1T or the Ford F-150 Lightning Pro Power Onboard, the Feizhu’s EREV approach is a different bet: instead of relying on a giant battery and DC fast charging, Changan combines a moderate 43.47 kWh battery (enough for daily pure-electric commuting) with the range and off-grid flexibility of an internal-combustion-fed range extender. The result is comparable to an EREV pickup like the planned GWM Cannon Hi4-T 1,081 km PHEV pickup launch, but with a camper-specific energy budget and detachable living space.

Editor’s Note

The Feizhu is a fascinating proof-point that China’s overlanding and weekend-camping subculture has matured to the point where OEMs will engineer dedicated trim levels around it. At RMB 249,800 for a fully-fitted electrified pickup camper, it dramatically undercuts Western competitors and gives Changan a credible export-ready product for markets like Australia, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. The detachable aluminum cabin is the single feature that should make camper-OEM rivals nervous.
