On April 23, Geely's radar automobile's pure electric four-wheel drive pickup truck, Radar Horizon, ushered in the official launch, with a total of 3 models and sales of 151,800-221,800. At the same time, the 2024 radar RD6 is also officially launched, with a sale of 151,800-199,800.
Judging from the data released at the press conference, the car is equipped with a battery capacity of 86 kilowatts, (providing 520km pure electric range under CLTC working conditions), 0-100 km / h acceleration in only 4.5 seconds, a top speed of 190 km / h, a maximum climbing ability of 95%, and the strongest wading of 0.815 meters, a bit of a super pickup taste.
In terms of appearance, the radar horizon does not emphasize toughness and off-road like the current fuel pickup. It takes more of a passenger and technological route.
For example, the front of the car, the closed front grille is connected to the headlights on both sides to form a through-type front face, which looks a bit like an SUV, with the large-size "RADAR" brand LOGO, and the three-section air intake at the bottom, the sportiness of the new car soars directly to the highest level of pickup.
The car and rear are conventional pickup shapes, with straight waist lines, slightly raised front and rear wheel eyebrows, and the rear of the car represents the four-wheel drive "4WD" logo. In terms of dimensions, the length, width and height of the new car are 5260x1900x1880mm, and the wheelbase reaches 3120mm. The length, width and height of the cargo box are 1525*1450*540mm, and the vehicle space can reach 1200L.
Such a size is placed in the passenger field, the level of a proper full-size SUV, but compared with the Great Wall Cannon passenger version (length, width and height: 5410x1934x1886mm, wheelbase: 3230mm) These popular fuel pickup trucks, it is still slightly less interesting.
Inside, the Radar Horizon adopts the simple style common to passenger cars, with a 14.6-inch floating center display and a 10.2-inch full LCD instrument cluster, and the air conditioning vents are hidden in the horizontal trim. And there is also an electronic shift lever, mobile phone wireless charging function, a whole set of design, it still looks a little exquisite, high-end.
In terms of appearance, interior, size, etc., the radar horizon is indeed not prominent, but in other aspects, it is super not like a pickup truck at all. For example, the new car is equipped with front and rear dual motors, with a total motor power of 315kW and a peak torque of 594N·m, relying on this set of power, the radar horizon can achieve 000 acceleration in 4.5s and a top speed performance of 190km/h, and the parameters are directly catching up with the all-wheel drive version of Tesla Cybertruck (breaking 100 in 4.3 seconds, with a top speed of 180km/h).
Matched with the strong power is the radar horizon's strong climbing, loading, and towing capabilities, among which the climbing can achieve a maximum climbing degree of 95%, which has surpassed the hard-core off-road vehicle Hummer H2 and become the pickup truck with the strongest climbing ability in China.
The maximum rated load of the radar horizon is 865kg, and the carrying efficiency has reached more than 38%, far exceeding the industry average of less than 20%.
Towing, with a super towing capacity of 3000kg, can easily tow 3 fully loaded pickup trucks in the case of full load, and truly realize the casual towing of RVs and yachts.
In addition, in the off-road area, the radar horizon also has the strongest domestic pickup wading strength of 815mm (ground clearance 230mm, on par with the current traditional fuel pickup), as well as a rare intelligent U-turn in the same class. With the blessing of intelligent U-turns, the turning radius of the radar horizon can be compressed to 3.5 meters, which is 2 meters less than that of foul players like Tesla Cybertruck. With a climb of up to 95% and a wading height of 815mm, relying on these hard-core parameters, the radar also defines the horizon as an amphibious pickup truck on land, water and mountain.
It is worth mentioning that the radar horizon adopts an integrated endoskeleton body structure with the same design concept as the Tesla Cybertruck, with 70% high-strength steel used in the vehicle, 8 tons of roof compression design, and 30,300N·m/deg torsional rigidity of the body structure.
Of course, these can only be regarded as outrageous, the most outrageous is that the radar horizon has 21kW of the strongest external discharge strength in China, which is not only far more than the traditional fuel pickup, but also more than twice that of the Cybertruck, and it also supports 380V/220V dual standard discharge voltage, that is, household and industrial use.
At 220V home voltage, the radar horizon can supply power to home appliances such as refrigerators and induction cookers, or IT equipment such as computers, projectors, and drones. It can also be used as a complete set of electrical equipment energy supply for outdoor play scenes such as trailer RV and outdoor fishing, which is completely a mobile power station.
Under the 380V industrial voltage, it can support the power supply operation of large equipment such as 5kW electric welding and cutting machines, and can also meet the needs of special work scenarios such as plant protection drone charging and agricultural pump irrigation. As for charging the car, it's a breeze. According to the official, the 21kW external discharge of the radar horizon can charge 9 medium and large new energy SUVs (ideal L7 and other vehicles) at the same time.
The discharge capacity is very strong, but it should be noted that the maximum battery capacity of the new car is 86kWh (providing 520km pure electric range under CLTC mode), and when discharging, it is necessary to reserve the power for the return trip.
The Tesla Cybertruck is a big toy, we may not have it, but its super flat radar horizon is still worth a look. Not only does it have 4.5s zero hundred acceleration, 815mm wading ability, 3000kg towing capacity, it also has a 3.5m turning radius and 21kW external discharge. And such a top-notch pickup truck is sold from 181,800, don't you really think about it?
