Radar RD6: the electric pickup and what you need to know
Radar RD6 (now known as Radar Horizon) — the mid-sized electric pickup from Geely's Radar brand, produced since November 2022. We take a look at what makes it special, the powertrains on offer, and what buyers need to know.
RD6 in brief
The RD6 is a four-door pickup built on Geely's SEA architecture. The interior shares many details with the Geely Haoyue SUV, while the exterior is modern, with a slim light bar and a closed front end.
In some markets, it's sold as the Riddara RD6 or Radar Horizon. As a result, you might encounter different names for the same vehicle in listings.
Who's it for?
The RD6 is ideal for those who need a modern pickup with electric power: for work, leisure, or hauling. It's more comfortable than traditional pickups but less suited to heavy-duty work.
As a newcomer to the used market, it's not yet widely available.
Powertrains and batteries
The RD6 is offered as a pure electric with various battery capacities (from around 60 to 100 kWh) and as a plug-in hybrid EM-P with a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine.
The exact power output, battery capacity, and range are specified by the manufacturer for each version, so check the specs using the VIN before buying.
What to check when buying a used RD6
The most important thing is the battery condition: ask for a diagnostic report, check the charging and all functions. Inspect the cargo area for damage and scratches.
Find out if the car has European market approval and where it can be serviced. Check the availability of spare parts.
