Great for small businesses working in a town, maintenance, gardening, technical service etc it’s perfect. Real world range of 180-200 miles will work for many. Great for a farm truck.
I test drove it last month. It is very good car - comfortable and with heavy battery doesn't feel like a horse carrige without any load like standard pickups. Interior is great, the power connections in the back. And crazy quick. I am in love - I was about to get Tesla Y as company car, I am changing to this - for same money I can have top spec Radar RD6 (I hope my boss approve). The price cut for base model happened mostly to match the price for ICE pickups in China - as a way to appeal to small businesses, as purchase cost is important and most pickups in China are around 120 - 160k RMB that would be similar speced but as ICE.
Geeley will concentrate first on the domestic China market, but once they get excess capacity they will start exporting to Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Korea, and other place in South America, Europe and Africa. Not expecting them to sell in the US, but it would sell well here if they did.
I don't believe trucks are big in the Chinese vehicle market? I do believe the Asian market will be huge. I do believe Geely will look at the US market, if there is a way around the import tax.
It looks really great, now let’s see how it performes in the real world. If build quality and durability is good we’ve got something to talk about here…
Throw in an energy dense battery in 4 years and this is THE vehicle type to own! Just add a trailer and camping trailer, and it's everything anyone would ever want.

It's interesting to note what may be the comparison between colour TV's and EV's. When the BBC in UK first started to broadcast in colour in November 1969, TV's cost around £300 (equivilent to £4850 in 2023). You can get a good budget TV for £300 today which is ten times better than in 1969! Will be interesting to see how advanced EV's are in 54 years, the range, power and price along with seeing all commercial vehicles effortlessly transporting heavy loads and being charged as they go along highways. Governments will always want to be in control to extract taxes with law enforcement agents being able to imobilise any vehicle with occupents carrying out crime at the flick of a switch....
Hopefully single cab, cab chassis basic workhorse models will become available. I want a roof and front rack so I can carry 6m (20 foot) lengths of material and 2400mmx1200mm sheets in the back. The fronk would really help the shortcomings of single cab.
Here in America many workers use pickups for work. My son, a remodeling contractor, uses his for hauling lumber and other materials. Many of our neighbors (in Northern California) also use pickups for work. Few carpenters drive anything else. Why would they?
I'm going to buy one..I love it as well..thank you for showing that it's even out there..I don't need a over sized American gas hog truck ..just something if I need a bed I have it ..not useing for work purposes..
Changli Explorer: $2,000...sure can't compete with this Geely...but I am pretty sure this would meet most peoples' everyday needs perfectly. Imagine it getting a Sodium Ion battery with real 500 km range and them upping the quality while selling it for $4,000. This would be a killer.
If the one you can buy at your local dealer is even close to this truck’s specifications, I expect it will be a huge hit. Especially if you can get one with those dropsy side flatbed trays you Aussies love and a set of kangaroo bumper guards that seems to be installed on every 3 truck I see running around in Australian videos showing cars on the street.
I'm not sure if I want to show this to Dad or hide it from him. XD He's likely getting far more efficiency with the Model 3 and no massive toolbox during his commute right now. Maybe a future consideration though when the four wheel drive comes out, it'll be interesting to see what becomes available in the four wheel drive and ute space over time.
I was just watching a few reviews and those reviews were VERY positive................... Now also cheap as............ I'm still hoping for the Maxus but I may have to start with one of these (assuming they come to Aotearoa soon).
Wow 🙂 ... I would be interested if and when these show up in California, USA. I like the competitive lower price, room for 4 Passengers, plus the LiFePO4 Battery chemistry in base range version. What I want to see is evidence of great tech support after some history on the road, ... along with minimal complaints. 🎶🌠
Very exciting. Now we just need a change in mindset in the tradie ute market regarding range anxiety. It would help if tradies could could benefit by charging onsite. One way of achieving this would be for tradies to negotiate discounts with their clients in return for being able to charge on the job site.
Please can I have a simple 2-door tray top. A tray long enough to load a 2.5M pack of plywood between the builders bars. I don't need or even want 4 or 5 seats. I don’t want fancy... just a simple practical Ute.
sounds great! Take into account the sleezy greedy individuals that control imports through to the consumer/The price will almost double in Australia as did the Hyundai in the 1980's US greed was behind it as well. If one cannot compete; add our big profit.
You get what you pay for, In a cybertruck it's Insurance to save your life❤ in a Geely you can say goodbye to your life, you still feel it's a good deal
Great, I'll go down to my local Geely dealer and pick one up now... darn, you got me with again with your clickbaiting, Sam. There is no $20,400 pickup, not one I can buy anyway.
@@MrFuckwit999 do you want me to let you know how much petrol is in Australia? Would that useless information be helpful you you as well. I generally only care about how much things cost where I live, or places I intend to visit and will likely purchase.
Love your enthusiasm and for sure we need more affordable electric cars. But in the vid you are also enthusiastically overstating the range. For one, 410 kilometers is not 300 miles but rather 255 miles. Those 255 miles are likely on the Chinese CLTC Standard, if so they will translate to about 200 miles in EPA/WLTP. Now put any serious amount of weight in this pickup or drive it at freeway speeds, and the range will unfortunately be borderline unusable. I fear for trucks we really need those 400-500 miles EPA to have any headroom for towing or heavier loads.
Chinese EVs have great potential, but most are not exported out of China in quantity at a reasonable cost. Once they actually do that then I will pay attention. It will take more than potential.
there are pickup trucks ev's for 2 grand new in china :) the "leather" seats look like vegetable packaging :) there is a video on the donut channel, very funny.
They have to reduce the price...they have to generate interest somehow...people are not clamoring over each other to buy EV's...despite what all of the fanboys are saying. There is a VERY SMALL market for them.
Nothing fishy there. US simply does not have the charging infrastructure ready. Plus going to the US right now and being treated like third class citizens? No thanks.
Actually what I ask "How much are the workers getting paid?" I do not care how low their battery prices are over there, slave labor damn near. Build your cars in the US if want to sell them in the US.
Just goes to show how ridiculously priced the LDV (Maxus) eT60 Ute is here in Australia, especially when you consider it's about $15,000AUD cheaper in New Zealand! No one in their right mind would pay nearly $100,000AUD for the LDV eT60 in Australia and if they do, they're a complete moron! Volvo Australia has repeatedly said they would put their hands up to distribute the Radar RD6 in Australia, but instead of introducing another brand into the Australian market, maybe it would be a good idea to sell it under the Geely badge here when Geely start selling vehicles here in the next 12 months. The only other negative with EV Ute's is when they're loaded up and actually towing something like a horse float or a recreational boat, will they still have decent range??

The rwd verson is very suitable for that. Awd is likly bit more expensive

I don't believe trucks are big in the Chinese vehicle market?
I do believe the Asian market will be huge.

Gotta love it when Viking gets excited and unintentionally exposes Tesla’s flank.
Yes , I think that Cybertruck is the right truck for America,but this looks like the right truck for the world.🌏🤔
I'm seriously considering this vehicle if it arrives in Australia...but I would get the top spec myself for comfort and range.
it's actually an amazing value. I'm interested.
On top of it all - price and interior quality - it's exterior design is interesting and beautiful.
AWD 600 HP in an electric Tacoma...wow Thank you 4 the presentation.
Pretty much the pickup I’ve been hoping to see! Wonderful news!
Bring to Australia for under $50k and Hilux is done for!
The Hilux will never be done. Check out the Toyota Stout soon to be out! 😂
How do I order one Sam?
Can I order for Canada? Thank you
U wish lmao. That geely is not even 4x4 lol
V2L on a pickup truck is an absolute dream.
Send to NZ it’ll sell like hot cakes with the $8500 rebate it’ll fly out the door!
It looks really great, now let’s see how it performes in the real world. If build quality and durability is good we’ve got something to talk about here…
Also what will it actually cost outside of China? So far the Chinese evs outside of China aren't cheaper than the Europeans or tesla evs. 🤔
As a mid sized truck owner, I would jump on the awd version of this truck in a heartbeat.
When the 4x4 version arrives in New Zealand I'm buying one. Already own a MIC Tesla Model 3, so quite happy to get a Radar with LFP battery.
Finally! It's what I've been waiting for! I hope it has a mid-gate.
Throw in an energy dense battery in 4 years and this is THE vehicle type to own! Just add a trailer and camping trailer, and it's everything anyone would ever want.
@Scott 0str everything a person could ever want!! Give me eternal life instead thanks 😅

I sometimes forget that this is a first Gen Ute, good job Geely oh and China
3000kg towing on RWD . Bring it on for Australia. Keep smiling everyone
With 3t on the back it be lucky to do 100km. My model Y goes from 400km to 125km range with my 1.2t boat on the back - not practical at all.
I ❤ your videos always focus on affordability solutions on globe.
😊 Thanks 👍
That's a cracking pickup

electric pick up trucks are gonna be popular especially for people in the South!
Hopefully single cab, cab chassis basic workhorse models will become available. I want a roof and front rack so I can carry 6m (20 foot) lengths of material and 2400mmx1200mm sheets in the back. The fronk would really help the shortcomings of single cab.
The real question is longevity and quality in general, reach per battery load etc.
Geely make Volvo. Quality is good. Less than 10% of pick up miles driven with the need for a pick up. Most pickups are driven just as cars
Here in America many workers use pickups for work. My son, a remodeling contractor, uses his for hauling lumber and other materials. Many of our neighbors (in Northern California) also use pickups for work. Few carpenters drive anything else. Why would they?
Sold!
Geely were in Australia, but only sell their cars in WA, with some motorbikes in other states .
I'm going to buy one..I love it as well..thank you for showing that it's even out there..I don't need a over sized American gas hog truck ..just something if I need a bed I have it ..not useing for work purposes..

Love a good ute story. More to come I hope.
Looks affordable and beautiful. I don’t like leather, I prefer a durable fabric.
Amazing truck, a game changer
It looks like a great deal.
I was just watching a few reviews and those reviews were VERY positive................... Now also cheap as............ I'm still hoping for the Maxus but I may have to start with one of these (assuming they come to Aotearoa soon).
How Toyota didn't make an electric Tacoma or Landcruiser really surprised me, it appears Geely has.
I just mine in Costa Rica, great car.
A great interim buy while we await cybertruck and rivian and hummer and ram and GM and ford to get here (Oz)!
Ok, this could replace my beloved 16 year old Hilux!!
I'll get one if I can't afford my Cyber Truck.
Wow 🙂 ... I would be interested if and when these show up in California, USA. I like the competitive lower price, room for 4 Passengers, plus the LiFePO4 Battery chemistry in base range version. What I want to see is evidence of great tech support after some history on the road, ... along with minimal complaints. 🎶🌠
Now that's a Ute I could use, and hopefully at a price I can afford. when do we see them for real?
it may be an affordable price , but if its anything like a Chinese motorcycle it's junk
Very exciting. Now we just need a change in mindset in the tradie ute market regarding range anxiety. It would help if tradies could could benefit by charging onsite. One way of achieving this would be for tradies to negotiate discounts with their clients in return for being able to charge on the job site.
Will it be sold in USA? Even without tax rebate it could compete.
Great to see smart efficient wheel size that will be better all around also!
Wow! Volvo pickup amazing 😊
Will 4x8 drywall or plywood sheets fit?
That's what everyone wants to know, especially those considering to buy this as a work truck.
Less than 10% of pick up miles driven with the need for a pick up. Most pickups are driven just as cars
Miss trucks with an interior that can be washed out with a garden house.
Please can I have a simple 2-door tray top. A tray long enough to load a 2.5M pack of plywood between the builders bars. I don't need or even want 4 or 5 seats. I don’t want fancy... just a simple practical Ute.
All this is good but what kind of warrantee does this vehicle come with.
I could buy almost 3 of these for the price of one😮 rivian R1T 😮 at $115k . Thats good 👍
sounds great! Take into account the sleezy greedy individuals that control imports through to the consumer/The price will almost double in Australia as did the Hyundai in the 1980's

You get what you pay for, In a cybertruck it's Insurance to save your life❤ in a Geely you can say goodbye to your life, you still feel it's a good deal
You are confusing Geely and Tata Motor. Shanghai Tesla cars prove that made in China is better quality than made in the USA.
@suna bozu nothing is made in MuricA, fed just prints money and thinks that's how economy is run
It's not Indian products that you can say you get what you pay for.
Always drive carefully. Don’t expect your safe vehicle to save you. Volvo built for safety but their cars were then driven by the worst drivers.🤔
Take you meds mate. Geely own and make Volvo cars that achieve a 5star crash protection rating.
I need that kind of car price in hatchback segment. 350km of range is enough excellent
The Radar rd6 pickup can use 4x4 or not?
I will wait and compare with ssangyong e musso.
China brand and Korea brand. Both will be about same price
Could you please tell me how to place an order?
Am I able to order one from Canada?
The UAW, GM, Ford, and Chrysler will never allow this Geely pickup into the U.S. market.
How long will the battery will last
Great, I'll go down to my local Geely dealer and pick one up now... darn, you got me with again with your clickbaiting, Sam. There is no $20,400 pickup, not one I can buy anyway.
Endless videos of things that are only for sale in China, or if not cost far more outside of China 😂

if it's like buying Ebay batteries, the 10,000mah that are actually 580mah
Yeah the 100kwh pack version would be required for outside China sales.
Well said. Plus only rwd which is a non starter in the states. But it would work for some companies
Retail it for 20 grand in the US and the competition will fold like a yard chair.
waiting untill.2026 to buy ..hopefully they will have more colors like red or aqua blue
Put this in Canada Volvo shops. There’d be fistfights in the parking lot! My revivifier would buy one today … to tote used Body Parts from the morgue.
This would be an end of Ford pickup truck
Can you even get it in the USA
want one now dam it.
Australia is waiting
This P3,100,000 pesos Philippine. Many want to earn big here. Even you lower it's price. Geeky must have their own office by here
410km wont cut it - period, fine for a passenger hatch/suv but no way for a ute. need 600-800km+
Chinese EVs have great potential, but most are not exported out of China in quantity at a reasonable cost. Once they actually do that then I will pay attention. It will take more than potential.
Is this the Tony Seba "S-curve"?
Chinese market doesn't need pickups.This is for overseas.
I wish Geely would reduce the price of its Polestar 2
THEY make LH only?
I so want one...
20k in USA 65k in AUS 😂
Good truck for my wife….
Is it profitable?
I wish them the best of luck. They're going to cut the OEMs off at the knees.
Wow😮
Where can you get one in the us
In your dreams
@@wilfredvanvalkenburgh2874 yes I figured lol
Pickups are coming, tell that to Rivian and Ford who have both already failed.
Then make only LH Drive only.
there are pickup trucks ev's for 2 grand new in china :)
the "leather" seats look like vegetable packaging :)
there is a video on the donut channel, very funny.
How much are they losing on each sale
At that price i will get one
They have to reduce the price...they have to generate interest somehow...people are not clamoring over each other to buy EV's...despite what all of the fanboys are saying. There is a VERY SMALL market for them.
Is that vehicle 4x4?
50% of the audience is US and non-stop videos about Chinese EVs
This would be comparable to a Ford Maverick which is sold out forever.
They could sell a million of those things in the US, but they won’t export them here. Seems fishy.
Nothing fishy there. US simply does not have the charging infrastructure ready. Plus going to the US right now and being treated like third class citizens? No thanks.
Cost as much as other carmakers loss per EV.
Who cares what the price is in China. With import tax, delivery and reseller markup, it'll be something like $50k.
You just said that Geely is out of business....... What are you saying now? I am lost.
Let’s ship them to the US. The legacy auto guys are too far behind.
You pay for what you get, If you just want a pink up for the road and ocasional mild off road excursion go ahead but it's not a true off roder.
Actually what I ask "How much are the workers getting paid?" I do not care how low their battery prices are over there, slave labor damn near. Build your cars in the US if want to sell them in the US.
Yeah can’t buy any of that stuff in North America
