In recent years, the pickup truck market has shown an upward momentum, and there are constantly new pickup brands and models, including many new energy pickup models, although the new energy pickup market is currently relatively small, but with the diversification of young people's lifestyles and the general trend of new energy development, the future market demand is considerable. Before the Beijing Auto Show, a new four-wheel drive pure electric pickup truck was launched, which came from Geely's pure electric brand Radar.
On April 23, the Radar Horizon launch conference was officially held in Beijing, and the new car is positioned as a four-wheel drive pure electric pickup, of which the Radar Horizon AIR 460km version is priced at 181,800 yuan, the MAX 460km version is priced at 209,800 yuan, and the AIR 520km version is priced at 221,800 yuan. At the same time, the pure electric pickup truck radar RD6 released 2024 models, of which the 415km and 560km versions of the science and technology innovation version are priced at 151,800 yuan and 199,800 yuan respectively.
Radar Horizon was born from the M.A.P Radar Hanhai platform under the outdoor ecological new energy architecture, which integrates pickup truck technology and new energy passenger vehicle technology. The maximum rated load of the radar horizon is 865kg, the carrying efficiency is more than 38%, and it has a towing capacity of 3000kg. In addition, the wading depth of the radar horizon reaches 815mm, the waterproof level of the high-voltage system reaches IP67, and the waterproof rating of the power battery pack reaches IP68.
The Radar Horizon has a smaller turning radius than other pickups, with a minimum turning radius of 3.5 meters. The intelligent electric four-wheel drive technology brings 7 driving modes: economy, comfort, sport, snow, mud, off-road and wading, and can intelligently identify the current road conditions and automatically and quickly switch driving modes.
The radar horizon is equipped with a high-performance dual electric drive system, with a maximum power of 315kW and a maximum torque of 594Nm, which can accelerate from zero to 100 in 4.5s and reach a top speed of 190km/h. It is worth noting that its 21kW full-scene discharge function can meet most of the outdoor needs of users, and there are external discharge interfaces in the rear box, front trunk, car, charging port and other positions, supporting driving, parking, locking car discharge, and can also be charged and discharged at the same time, and can also remotely control the discharge, with a maximum discharge of 73 degrees, 85% of the maximum discharge threshold is controllable and adjustable, and 220V household and 380V industrial electricity can be met.
The radar horizon can also be used as an IoT base station, equipped with a smart magic box that supports more than 10 communication protocols such as Bluetooth, WiFi, and satellites, and can support the access and control of up to 100 various camping equipment within a range of 300 square meters, and can also realize real-time 4K high-definition video backhaul with UAVs at a distance of thousands of meters, and support 36,000 kilometers of high-altitude satellite communication.
In terms of intelligence, the radar horizon has reached the level of L2+ intelligent assisted driving, providing a 540° transparent chassis, ADB matrix headlights and other configurations. Its intelligent voice supports 22 drone controls, and can give instructions to the drone through voice for route planning, data transmission and other instructions.
Finally, let's pay attention to the 24 radar RD6, whose load capacity has been increased from the original 450 kg to 800 kg, and the car has added a 50W wireless charging function and a 220V interface. At the same time, convenient functions such as cargo compartment lighting are provided.
