The 29th Chengdu International Automobile Exhibition will officially kick off on August 21. At the JAC booth in Hall 15 of this year's exhibition, the new Hunter will make its first public appearance. Different from previous events, the core highlight of the exhibited model this time is not the exterior, but the interior - the fully revamped cockpit will be one of the most noteworthy changes in the pickup category at this auto show.
Brand-new Interior Design, Overall Leap in Cockpit Texture
When you sit in the cockpit of the new Hunter, the first impression is "This is not the pickup truck we have in mind". The dashboard adopts a brand-new design and through-type layout, paired with a combination of a large floating central control screen and a full LCD instrument cluster, which presents information at a glance and significantly boosts the sense of technology. A large area of the interior is covered with soft materials, frequently touched areas such as door panels have a warm and delicate touch. The crystal-textured accents in details complement the multi-color ambient light, and the overall atmosphere of the cockpit has taken a big step from "practical" to "high-quality".
The gear shifter adopts a push-rod design, with a combination of crystal and leather materials, offering a solid grip and a more textured operation experience. The seats have also been upgraded simultaneously, with perforated leather matched with three-dimensional quilting technology, thickened filling and optimized side bolster support. The front seats are equipped with heating function, and the rear seats can be folded proportionally. From opening the door and sitting down to touch operation, from visual perception to physical feedback, the interior changes of the new Hunter are all-round - you can truly feel the "sense of luxury" only when you are seated in the car.
Unchanged Tough Off-road Character, Hunter Excels in Both Interior and Exterior
In addition to the interior revamp, the exterior of the new Hunter has also been optimized in details. Design changes to the front face, rims and sports bar further enhance its tough stance. The powertrain and chassis continue Hunter's consistent tough gene - based on the H-Power Super Hybrid Architecture, it is equipped with a 2.0TGDI hybrid-specific engine and dual-motor combination, with a comprehensive torque of 1000N·m; the body-on-frame structure is matched with an intelligent electric four-wheel drive system, with a 3.5-ton towing capacity and a comprehensive cruising range of nearly 1000km, so its inherent features of large loading capacity, strong driving performance and excellent off-road capability remain completely unchanged.
From "durable and large-loading" to "comfortable to ride in", this upgrade of the new Hunter is a key step for the Hunter brand to move from functional pickups to high-quality pickups - it can not only accompany you to brave the elements during outdoor adventures, but also provide you with a decent travel experience.
