March 25th, news - Recently, Geely Radar's new vehicle, the "Radar Horizon," has opened for pre-orders. As a pure electric pickup truck, the Radar Horizon boasts competitive advantages in terms of driving costs and power performance. However, the advertisement for this vehicle has sparked considerable discussion due to its straightforwardness.
Recently, netizens noticed a promotional poster for the Radar Horizon claiming that its cost per kilometer is only 8 cents, and in three years, you could save enough to buy a Great Wall Cannon.
Reportedly, the base model of the Great Wall Cannon pickup truck is currently priced at 97,800 CNY. If the Geely Raider Horizon pickup truck aims to save up for a Great Wall Cannon within 3 years, it means saving around 32,600 CNY on electricity bills annually compared to the fuel costs of the Great Wall Cannon.
However, it's highly unlikely that the annual fuel costs for a Great Wall Cannon owner would exceed 32,600 CNY, so the advertisement's claim seems exaggerated. The poster has also faced criticism from netizens, with comments like, "The competitive atmosphere and tactics in China are indeed not very sophisticated. They like to belittle their competitors and boast about themselves. I wonder how Great Wall would feel seeing this ad poster and how they would respond."
Nevertheless, objectively speaking, disregarding the promotional competition between manufacturers, the Raider Horizon is indeed a distinctive pickup truck. Although it lacks a traditional beam, it features a high-performance dual-motor system with a total output of 315 kW, peak torque of 594 N·m, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds, and a top speed of 190 km/h.
Currently, there's no other pickup truck in the entire domestic market that can match the performance of the Raider Horizon.
