On December 23, the Radar King Kong, a global commercial and passenger pure electric pickup truck, was officially launched. Users who lock in orders before January 31, 2025 can also enjoy a limited-time first-hand guide price. The two-wheel drive version of the Fortune King Kong starts at 99,800 yuan; the four-wheel drive version of the Power King Kong starts at 119,800 yuan. For specific prices, see the figure below. The Radar King Kong is a pure electric pickup truck with a very competitive price. It is one of the most worthwhile pure electric pickup trucks in the 100,000-level.
Previously, in the TOP Grade challenge held by CATC, Radar King Kong became the first domestic pickup truck to successfully challenge the triathlon. At this press conference, it was awarded a certificate for its outstanding commercial pickup performance.
Radar King Kong creates new momentum for commercial pickup trucks
Radar King Kong has a peak power of 280kW, surpassing many 3.0T diesel pickups. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds when empty and only 7.8 seconds when fully loaded. Not only does it start quickly, but it can also beat empty fuel pickups in seconds when fully loaded, making transportation efficiency easy and powerful.
The peak torque is as high as 485N·m, which can show extraordinary climbing ability when climbing with heavy load. It is 85N·m higher than the traditional diesel 2.0T pickup truck, and even compared with the 2.4T diesel pickup truck, it still has obvious power advantages. Not only the torque is large, the Radar King Kong torque response time is within 20ms, which is faster and more rapid than the fuel pickup truck. Whether it is a rugged mountain road or a long-distance climb, super power can be available at any time.
In terms of driving modes, Radar King Kong also has three modes: economy, comfort, and sports, as well as three escape modes: snow, mud, and off-road.
In terms of loading, Radar Kong can carry more, hold more, and is more durable, making it a veritable "cargo hauler". The cargo box is 1765mm long and has a volume of about 1400L, which can easily accommodate both commercial building materials and agricultural products. The rated load is 910kg, which is about 400kg higher than a fuel pickup truck. The load-bearing efficiency is also as high as 44%, which is twice as high as a traditional fuel pickup truck. This is mainly due to the fact that Radar Kong uses the same type of integrated cage-type endoskeleton body technology as Tesla Cybertruck, as well as a hidden beam. The body has double longitudinal beams and 12 large-section embedded cross beams. The lighter body has higher strength and rigidity, and can be more reliably protected in the face of collisions and impacts.
The rear cargo box of Radar Kong breaks through the traditional material usage of cargo boxes. It uses the same type of STC wear-resistant and anti-corrosion cargo box as Ford Raptor and Tesla Cybertruck. It is durable, corrosion-resistant, and never rusts. It is suitable for more operating environments.
Building a "safety shield" for commercial pickup trucks
Commercial pickup trucks are used in harsh environments, and users have great concerns about battery scratches. Radar King Kong has a ground clearance of 225mm, and the battery pack armor is 10mm thick, which can avoid scratches. The battery pack has undergone as many as 472 rigorous test standards, such as extrusion, impact, puncture, immersion and other tests, far exceeding international standards. Even in complex road conditions, the risk of scratches on the bottom of the battery can be effectively avoided. At the same time, sharing Geely's battery safety technical standards, it has 6 major battery safety technologies and IP68-level dust and water resistance, and remains stable in severe weather such as wading and heavy rain.
In addition to the chassis safety, Radar King Kong also has a sturdy body with an integrated endoskeleton. High-strength steel accounts for 70%, and the torsional rigidity is as high as 30300N·m/deg. The whole vehicle adopts anti-collision and compression design on all sides and the top. The roof can withstand 8 tons of pressure and can withstand about 4 containers. Even in the face of an emergency collision, it can ensure the safety of drivers and passengers. The front and rear anti-collision beams are both high-strength steel structures. When a rear-end collision occurs, the rear box is safer. The four doors also use an anti-collision beam design, which guarantees the safety of people and vehicles in 360° all directions through the front, rear, side, chassis and roof.
In terms of pedestrian safety, Radar King Kong uses an advanced Onebox wire-controlled braking system with excellent braking performance. The braking response speed is three times that of ordinary fuel pickup trucks, so it can brake steadily whether it is empty or fully loaded. When fully loaded, the braking distance is only 39 meters, which is 6 meters shorter than traditional fuel pickup trucks, providing safer protection for pedestrians.
Creating a new level of control for commercial pickup trucks
The minimum turning radius of Radar King Kong is only 6.1 meters, which is 0.4 meters smaller than that of traditional fuel pickup trucks. Even in narrow city streets or complex outdoor road conditions, it can turn lightly and flexibly. The 2N·m electronic power assist can provide a passenger-grade electric steering experience, getting rid of the heaviness of the hydraulic steering of traditional fuel pickup trucks, making the operation smoother and lighter, turning around in one go, and steering with heavy loads is effortless. As a pickup truck, Radar King Kong has better handling stability for emergency turns and lane changes, reaching the level of luxury SUVs. The elk test score is 71km/h, while traditional fuel pickup trucks are only 65km/h. When changing lanes in an emergency, even with a heavy load, it can be stable and calm.
The legroom, headroom and 115° rear seats in the Radar King Kong cabin are all comfortable, while the rear space of traditional fuel pickups is not only cramped, but the seat back angle is closer to 90°, which will cause back pain after sitting for a long time. At the same time, the Radar King Kong has a library-level silent cabin, allowing users to enjoy a driving experience without engine noise disturbance during daily driving or complex operations. Under the same conditions, it is quieter than fuel pickups.
Defining a new standard for commercial pickup truck economy
Buying a Radar King Kong not only enjoys zero purchase tax, but also directly saves more than 10,000 yuan compared to traditional pickup trucks, and the cost per kilometer is as low as 0.5 cents. The cost in 3 years is only 5,400 yuan, while the cost per kilometer of traditional pickup trucks is as high as 0.74 yuan, which means 77,700 yuan in 3 years. On the other hand, maintenance is also saved. The Radar King Kong only needs maintenance once every 20,000 kilometers, which only costs 200 yuan each time, and the maintenance cost in 3 years is less than 1,000 yuan; while the traditional diesel pickup truck needs maintenance once every 5,000 kilometers, and the maintenance cost in 3 years is 17,000 yuan, which means a net saving of 16,000 yuan.
Radar King Kong operation is also economical, and the unique super-strong external discharge function can support 380V/15kW and 220V/3.5kW external discharge. Operation discharge can be performed in outdoor scenes such as drone operation and engineering maintenance. In addition, pure electric pickup trucks can enjoy special road rights in some cities.
One car, one business model
Each user can choose different versions of Radar King Kong according to their different mileage and needs. Daily short-distance users can choose models with a range of more than 300km. The threshold for buying a car is low. You can buy a pure electric pickup truck for 100,000 yuan, and the cost of using the car is also low. You can replace it with a new car in 4-5 years, and you can earn at least 100,000 yuan overall; medium-mileage users can choose a version with a range of more than 400km. It can save all the money in 3 to 5 years, and you can earn 170,000 yuan overall, which is enough to buy a new car. For users who travel long distances every day, choose models with a range of 500km and more than 600km. It only takes 2 to 3 years to save all the money. It can be said that the higher the range and the farther you run, the more you can save and the more you earn.
Radar King Kong series ecological products
The conference also launched a number of Radar King Kong series ecological products to create a full-scenario outdoor electricity ecology. Smart Energy PSP380 can be used in municipal construction, agricultural production, and other outdoor operation scenarios that require high-power equipment. The PSP220V energy converter is for household electricity and can support 99% of household appliances such as electric ovens and microwave ovens. In response to the needs of drone pilots, Geely Radar has teamed up with DJI and XAG to develop an intelligent car charger for agricultural drones, eliminating generators and inverters and charging directly from the car. At the same time, the customized portable V2L discharge companion can support household appliances below 3.5kw. For road rescue, a high-power DC V2V energy converter has also been released.
At this press conference, Geely Radar also launched exclusive listing benefits, including lifetime warranty for the three electric systems, 24 interest-free installments up to 80,000 yuan (or 12-60 installments with low interest with 0 down payment), a worry-free triple gift of 3,000 yuan replacement subsidy (choose one of the replacement subsidy and financial interest subsidy), as well as a limited-time car reservation gift worth 5,000 yuan and a limited-time pre-order gift of 1,000 yuan off 2,000 yuan.
