Changan Pakistan's eagerly anticipated Changan K50 Hunter Pickup has been spotted again being tested on the roads of Karachi, indicating that its launch may be near.

Spotted on the streets more than once has created excitement among pickup fans who want to see how the new model will perform against established competition like the Toyota Hilux, Isuzu D-Max and JAC T9.

Earlier in the year, the Changan K50 Hunter was seen being tested in an off-road situation while in camouflage.

Its appearance on the roads now indicates that Changan Pakistan is in the final stages of performance testing before revealing the vehicle to the public.

The K50 Hunter is intended to enter the midsize pickup class with rugged utilities, while also possessing modern luxury applications.
