With the Hunter REEV now on the road, Changan has officially kicked off its South African operations. The local portfolio now features five distinct lines:
- Alsvin – a practical sedan.
- CS75 Pro – a midsize SUV that we had the chance to test in an exclusive first‑South‑Africa drive.
- Hunter – the original turbodiesel bakkie.
- Deepal S07 – a fully electric SUV.
- Hunter REEV – the new double‑cab, electric‑powered bakkie highlighted above.
This lineup marks the brand’s broad move into the South African market, pairing traditional diesel power with a growing electric range.
