THE CHANGAN HUNTER ELEVATES PICKUP RIDE COMFORT STANDARDS

Rain got in the way though once we were in our location in Villa Escudero in Quezon and so we had to settle for one car as our hero for the day.Luckily, I was assigned to something interesting. The Changan Hunter is a plugin hybrid pickup, much like the BYD Shark 6. It also has a multi-link suspension at the back, like the Shark 6 and the Nissan Navara. And yet, I found it to be better than those two in terms of ride comfort. That, and two more stood out to me regarding the Changan Hunter in this drive.

Changan definitely did some wonders with the suspension of the Hunter. It's not the first ladder frame pickup that has a multi-link suspension at the rear axle and yet it is the most comfortable in my experience. Yes, I've been in the Navara, the Ranger, Ranger Raptor, and the BYD Shark 6. The comfort of this Hunter is simply astonishing.
