RADAR RD6 / RIDDARA HORIZON DRIVEN - AN ELECTRIC PICK-UP FOR ADULTS

EV Channels Review

The Radar RD6, presented here as the Rara Horizon for international markets, is an electric pickup truck that defies expectations, offering a more refined experience than its 'adult-oriented' description might suggest. The reviewer highlights its capable on-road manners, attributing them to its EV-native platform with McPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension, providing a surprisingly comfortable and composed ride that handles rough surfaces well. Handling is also praised for its lack of body roll. The interior is noted as a significant improvement in the Horizon update, featuring modern screens, better infotainment, and comfortable seating, though the driving position and limited steering reach are minor drawbacks. Rear seat comfort and space are exceptional. The real-world range testing exceeded CLTC claims, demonstrating impressive efficiency for its size. While the tested RWD version offers adequate performance, the upcoming AWD model promises much quicker acceleration. The vehicle's practicality shines through its generous frunk, versatile load bay, and numerous power outlets, making it suitable for recreational use rather than heavy-duty hauling. Off-road capability is deemed decent, especially with AWD. Overall, the RD6/Horizon is presented as a competent and surprisingly accomplished electric pickup that could make a significant impact in markets like Thailand and Australia.
