Deepal has officially unveiled the all-new K50 Hunter, a next-generation pickup truck set to enter the Pakistani market soon.
As the world’s first mass-produced Range-Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV) pickup, the K50 Hunter delivers a remarkable blend of rugged capability, electric efficiency, and high-end technology — positioning it as one of the most innovative utility vehicles the country has seen.
With Pakistan’s automotive landscape shifting toward cleaner mobility and modern powertrains, the Deepal K50 Hunter steps in as a groundbreaking alternative to traditional diesel pickups.
Built on a robust body-on-frame chassis, it merges conventional toughness with futuristic electric performance, appealing to both adventure seekers and commercial users.
Market Positioning and Expected Pricing
While Deepal has not yet announced the official price of the K50 Hunter in Pakistan, industry analysts expect it to be priced competitively against segment leaders like the Toyota Hilux Revo and Isuzu D-Max.
Given its high-tech REEV powertrain, premium interior, and extensive features, it is likely to attract both fleet buyers and private customers looking for a powerful yet eco-conscious truck.
Performance: REEV Powertrain for Maximum Range and Capability
At the heart of the K50 Hunter lies its advanced Range-Extended Electric Vehicle system. Unlike conventional hybrids, the REEV setup ensures:
Electric motors drive the wheels at all times
The 2.0-liter turbo engine serves only as a generator to recharge the battery
Maximum efficiency with reduced fuel usage and lower emissions
The pickup is equipped with a 31.18 kWh battery and a dual-motor AWD system, producing:
268 hp
470 Nm of torque
0–100 km/h in just 7.9 seconds
Up to 111 km pure EV range (WLTP)
Charging options include DC fast charging (30–80% in 30 minutes) and AC home charging (6.6 kW).
With a tow rating of 2,500 kg and 220 mm ground clearance, the K50 Hunter maintains the practicality expected from a rugged pickup.
Exterior: Bold, Functional, and Adventure-Ready
Measuring 5380 mm long, 1980 mm wide, and 1920 mm tall, the K50 Hunter delivers an imposing road presence. Deepal has equipped it with a range of off-road–focused elements, including:
18-inch alloy wheels
Roof-mounted LED lights
Roll bars
Auto headlights
Side steps
Rain-sensing wipers
Its 1327-liter cargo bed enhances utility, while an electric tailgate assist and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability allow users to power tools, appliances, or camping gear directly from the truck — a major plus for outdoor enthusiasts.

Inside, the K50 Hunter offers a modern, upmarket cabin with a focus on comfort and convenience. Key features include:
6-way powered and ventilated front seats
Rear AC vents
Wireless mobile charging
