Right now, the Changan Lantazhe hasn’t got an international name. As for the Chinese one (览拓者, Lantazhe), it has a lot of meanings. At first, it can be translated as ‘Explorer’. But Changan mentioned that it represents ‘the continuous development and courage to explore’ and ‘the breadth of life’. Is it just a PR-speech, or the Lantazhe has some capabilities that will allow buyers to explore the surrounding world with courage? Let’s see…

Exterior and Dimensions

The exterior of the Changan Lantazhe somehow has strong Toyota Tundra vibes. Mainly because of the large grille with a lot of chrome trim, blocky headlights, and a high bonnet line. So its exterior seems like a déjà vu. But all in all, the Lantazhe looks nice and modern with an LED strip between headlights and wide wheel arches.

  1. C’mon Chang’an. Your quality has improved significantly…but let’s get control of that diesel engine’s main harness length. These aren’t Christmas tree lights we’re draping here.

  2. Yes it’s good pickup with affordable price, is it available in Pakistan?
    I’m interested to check physically and interested to buy.
