On April 23, the Geely Radar Horizon Super Conference with the theme of "Super Pickup Truck, Extreme Creation" was held in Beijing. As the absolute protagonist of this super conference, the radar horizon pickup truck has accumulated a lot of heat in the circle of car enthusiasts, after all, the name of "China's first four-wheel drive pure electric super pickup" is loud enough, and the blind booking activities that were opened before, as well as the relevant evaluation and test drive experience that have been exposed, have also whetted everyone's appetite. So, can "radar" subvert tradition and dominate the horizon as expected?
Previously, Radar Horizon did not have any price information revealed, but according to past experience, everyone generally speculated that the price of new cars would only be high and not low, but Radar Horizon did the opposite, and gave everyone a lot of surprises with "two piercing prices". Specifically, 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. In addition, the high-efficiency pure electric pickup truck radar RD6 at the press conference also 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. The rejuvenation of the 2024 Radar RD6 allows pure electric pickup trucks to surpass the traditional value limit and open a new era of "electricity is lower than oil, electricity is better than oil" in the pickup truck market.
It is understood that the radar horizon released this time is not only equipped with a more powerful front/rear dual motor drive system, but also supports the "super external discharge" function. While having performance comparable to traditional pickup trucks, it also relies on new energy technology to add more unexpected intelligence, fun and safety attributes to the product.
In general, the radar horizon has five characteristics, such as pickup truck characteristics, electric four-wheel drive characteristics, external discharge expansion, intelligent Internet of Things, and passenger performance, and has 8 global firsts, 9 industry uniques, 22 Chinese firsts, and 60+ industry-leading technologies, which not only calmly cope with the off-road road conditions that traditional pickup trucks are good at, but also create richer expansion and playability than traditional pickup trucks, helping outdoor players to play recklessly, cool to play, easy to play, and play with confidence, and start a super life of super pickups.
Comparable to tradition, beyond tradition
In the traditional concept, whether a pickup truck is used as a vehicle for off-road players or a means of transportation for special scenarios, it needs to have several basic characteristics: the chassis must be solid, the power must be prominent, and if it is coupled with a tough and stylish appearance, it will be even better. In these respects, the Radar Horizon has almost perfectly inherited all the qualities of a traditional pickup – and even taken it to the extreme. For example, the maximum climbing degree of the radar horizon can reach 95%, and the maximum wading depth is 815mm, both of which are the first in domestic pickups, and the shortest turning radius of the vehicle is 3.5m, and the intelligent U-turn function is also unique in domestic trucks.
In addition, the maximum rated load of the radar horizon reaches 865 kg, which is not only the first rated load of the original pure electric pickup, but also more than 700 kg more than the traditional pickup, and also has the industry's only cargo capacity display function, which fully meets the needs of outdoor play, agricultural and fishery transportation and emergency rescue;
In terms of ride comfort, compared with the same level, the radar horizon is equipped with a front windshield double-layer 5mm high-performance soundproof PVB film and motor "umbrella frequency" active noise reduction technology for the first time, which is 3dB lower than that of traditional pickup trucks, and is quieter and more comfortable even when driving at high speeds, and is the only pickup truck model in China that can benchmark the 300,000-level new energy vehicle silent standard.
In terms of safety, from a traditional point of view, the radar horizon is based on the M.A.P Radar Hanhai platform, the first native pure electric pickup truck platform in China, and adopts an integrated endoskeleton body structure, which is the same as the integrated body design concept of the Cybertruck. The proportion of high-strength steel has reached 70%, and the torsional rigidity is as high as 30,300N·m/deg, which makes it the only pickup truck in China with passenger-grade safety body standards. From the perspective of new energy, there are as many as 472 tests of the "three-electric system" of the radar horizon, far exceeding the national standard; the six-fold protection function can realize the power failure in milliseconds and never catch fire; the IP68-level three-electric wading protection system and the IP67-level high-voltage waterproof system have reached the highest level in the industry. At the same time, the radar horizon also has an industry-leading discharge safety protection design, which supports real-time monitoring of discharge status, and overcurrent, over-temperature and leakage power failure in milliseconds, ensuring the safety of outdoor electricity in real time.
Of course, the safety of the "three electrics" is only one of the key points of the positive development of the radar horizon for the pure electric platform. In terms of the key dynamics of pickup trucks, the radar horizon also does not dare to be sloppy. The radar horizon is equipped with a high-performance dual electric drive system, with a peak total power of 315kW, a peak total torque of 594N·m, a motor efficiency of 97.1%, a 000 acceleration of only 4.5s, and a maximum speed of 190km/h, which is not only the fastest acceleration pickup truck in China, but also the fastest pickup truck in China. This means that when driving on flat roads, as long as conditions allow, the radar horizon can give you the thrill of driving like a sports car, and in the process of climbing over mountains and mountains, the power of the radar horizon will never "pull the crotch".
In addition, it is worth mentioning that Radar Horizon's unique 21kW full-scene discharge function can be transformed into a super power plant to meet the needs of 380V industrial/commercial and 220V household discharge. Based on the powerful discharge function, the radar horizon can play a key role in field play, rescue and other scenarios.
The so-called "what traditional pickups can't give, the radar horizon gives", just giving the above is far from satisfying Geely radar. Radar Horizon has also developed industry-leading Level 2+ intelligent assisted driving and the industry's only towing intelligent assistance. In addition, the vehicle's front and rear lights have a one-button illumination function at night and a 540° panoramic image of the transparent chassis, which has also reached the industry-leading level. Not only that, Radar Horizon is also the first product in China's pickup truck industry to have towing status monitoring, towing anti-swaying, and towing brake control technology. The full-scene intelligent voice interaction function has also achieved the first place in China's pickup truck in the three dimensions of "voice response speed, voice recognition ability, and ecological application", and even equipped with Alipay ecological application for the first time.
Ecological IoT, pickups can be more interesting
Starting from a radar horizon, Geely Radar wants to bring you much more than a simple "very cool driving experience". Radar horizon is also a super base station with strong IoT capabilities, which is equipped with a smart magic box, supporting more than 10 communication protocols such as Bluetooth, WiFi, satellite, etc., and can build an interconnected network with radar horizon as the core. Compared with home routers, Zhilian Magic Box can support the access and control of up to 100 various camping equipment within 300 square meters, realize real-time 4K high-definition video backhaul with drones at a distance of thousands of meters, and support 36,000 kilometers of high-altitude satellite communication.
In addition, at the super press conference, Geely Radar also released a new service brand, providing users with five rights and interests of "Radar Super Enjoyment", creating the only direct access channel for experts in the pickup truck industry, realizing 24×7 hours of butler service, and comprehensively improving users' car purchase experience. Relying on its product and service system, Geely Radar will also accelerate the expansion of overseas markets, continue to expand to Asia-Pacific, Central Asia, Thailand, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Central and South America and other markets, and improve its global layout.
Write at the back:
As the first pure electric four-wheel drive pickup truck in China, Radar Horizon not only realizes - or even surpasses the driving experience of traditional pickup trucks, but also relies on intelligent and electrified technology to integrate more fun and practicality for pickup trucks, subverting everyone's perception of pickup trucks. The launch of the ecological Internet of Things has made pickup trucks more fun, and made playing pickup trucks from simple off-road excitement to a new life and a unique culture. Radar Horizon has indeed subverted the tradition, and whether it can "dominate the horizon" in the future, let's look forward to it!
