It’s an interesting car, but are the advertised stats true? It’s an electric crew cab truck measuring 526 cm long, with a range of 600 km, two motors with 400PS, AWD and a weight of merely 1660 kg (the same as a diesel-powered compact executive). Sounds a little “too good to be true” with that weight, even if Geely has become a respectable brand.
Article is mix and matching different stats from different trims of the RD6. The base mode has a single 200 kW rear motor, and only 410 km of CLTC (not even WLTP) range from its relatively small 63 kWh LFP pack. That’s probably the one that weighs 1660 kg. It is ridiculously cheap though, at least in China, for the equivalent of just 21k USD.
Higher trim models with dual motors and the largest 100 kWh battery pack will obviously be much heavier and more expensive, although even maxed out it is still at 40k USD in the Chinese market, which isn’t bad. If it was available in the US, I’d instantly buy a mid trim big battery RWD model.
Thanks. Good to have that clarified. I could use one with a mid-trim mattery and AWD here. Seems like a decent cabin trip car.
Looks cool actually. Lift it and fit some knobby tires and I’d be a happy camper.
In laos they need demining equipment and for china and other countries to stop polluting the mekong river
But this helps where oil/gas are hard to come by in remote areas but most people in extreme poverty are probably better off with an ebike or walking
Laos needs to do better as a whole, they still abuse hmong and other minorities as communists, less genocide than 10-20 years ago is a start
It infuriates me when new automakers just name their car models with an abbreviation of the name of the company itself. Vinfast VF6, Faraday Future FF91, and now Radar… RD6
Just call it Radar 6 , or come up with an actual model name.
