Geely entered the radar brand of pickup truck to seize the new blue ocean of "electric+outdoor"

  Economic Observer Network reporter Pu Zhenyu Intern Zhang Qian With the relaxation of restrictions on pickup trucks entering the city in various parts of China, and the emerging outdoor lifestyle coincides with pickup truck culture, "pickup truck fever" is becoming a unique phenomenon in the current automobile market. More and more pickup truck companies have joined in, and Geely Holding Group is one of them. The new brand radar car built by the group is aimed at the new field of electric pickup trucks.

  On November 9th, Radar Auto held a press conference in Hangzhou, announcing the official launch of the first pure electric platform pickup radar RD6 in China. As the first product under the radar, the radar RD6 is positioned as a passenger vehicle with diversified lifestyles based on the concept of "new energy+diversified outdoor". It is understood that Radar RD6 has launched four models: Sailing Edition, Maker Edition, Yuexiang Edition and Yueye Edition, with the prices of 178,800 yuan, 198,800 yuan, 228,800 yuan and 268,800 yuan respectively.

  Compared with other established pickup truck companies in China, Radar is a rookie. However, due to the domestic consumption environment of pickup trucks and other reasons, the use scenarios of traditional pickup trucks are limited, either carrying goods or moving, and it is only in the past two years that they have entered the life scene. There are even fewer pickup trucks driven by new energy. What the radar car wants to do is to try to upgrade the pickup truck’s previous functions of taking care of goods and tools into a new experience of outdoor multi-scenes, and promote the pickup truck to evolve in the direction of lifestyle consumer goods.

  According to the research on the development trend and policy suggestions of pickup truck industry jointly issued by China Automobile Association and National Information Center, it is predicted that the demand side of pickup truck products will be released in large quantities under the premise of steadily lifting the ban on pickup truck entering the city, and the domestic demand of pickup truck market will reach more than 1 million vehicles by 2030. Coupled with export demand, the total sales volume of pickup trucks is expected to reach about 2 million by 2030.

  At present, the domestic pickup truck market presents a monopoly situation, and the Great Wall pickup truck will also be the enemy of radar vehicles. According to the data of China Automobile Association, in 2021, the sales volume of pickup trucks in China reached 554,000, of which the sales volume of Great Wall pickup trucks exceeded 233,000, ranking first in domestic and export sales for 24 consecutive years. According to the latest data of the Federation, the cumulative sales volume of Great Wall Motor from January to October in 2022 was close to 160,000 vehicles, which opened the gap of more than 100,000 vehicles with the second place () and was far ahead among pickup truck manufacturers.

  The Great Wall Cannon pickup truck under the Great Wall is the leader of domestic passenger pickup trucks. The Great Wall Cannon brand has a wide range of models, covering multiple market segments, and has made great achievements in promoting the outdoor and refitting culture of pickup trucks.

  The radar car took a different approach and chose a new energy track. At present, domestic new energy vehicles are gradually shifting from "policy-driven" to "market-driven". According to the data of the Federation, the domestic retail penetration rate of new energy vehicles reached 30.2% in October, up 11 percentage points year-on-year. In this context, the new energy pickup market is also expected to usher in development opportunities.

  Li Donghui, CEO of Geely Holding Group, said, "The birth of radar new energy pickups has created a brand-new category of native pure electric pickups. This is based on the accumulation of Geely Holding Group in the past few years. This is a decision of forward-looking layout, accumulation and development, and taking advantage of the trend. "

  Li Donghui pointed out that on the basis of maintaining the independence of radar brand positioning, governance structure and development strategy, Geely Holding Group will provide all-round support in technology research and development, intelligent manufacturing, quality management, channel service, supply chain coordination and personnel training, and continue to help radar develop in high quality.

  Like radar, there are other pickup truck companies that extend their reach to the market segment of electric pickup trucks. However, electric pickup truck models have long had some product pain points, such as limited off-road capability, doubtful outdoor charging and discharging safety, and low energy replenishment efficiency. These factors make it difficult to popularize outdoor scene models such as electric pickup trucks and electric off-road vehicles on a large scale. And radar focusing on new energy and outdoor, can it break through this situation?

  One advantage of radar is that it is backed by Geely Automobile Group. Geely started as a passenger car business, and it naturally has the thinking of a passenger car when it enters the pickup truck field, which is different from the commercial vehicle origin of most pickup truck companies. The comfort, safety and intelligence of passenger pickup trucks are also easier for a passenger car company to play.

  According to reports, as the first seed model of radar car, RD6 is built on the first native pure electric platform M.A.P in China, and it has the first domestic electric expansion dock consisting of 6kW driving discharge and travel space to meet various demand scenarios.

  In terms of battery life and energy replenishment, the radar RD6 uses high-energy density Ni55 batteries, which can achieve a maximum battery life of 632km. At the same time, it also creates a "trinity" service system of multi-level service network+multidimensional technical support+multi-terminal communication and a "home-on-the-road-emergency" full-scene energy replenishment system.

  As a model that focuses on outdoor travel scenes, loading capacity is also very important. Radar RD6 has 1200 liters of outdoor space, 70 liters of luggage space and 48 liters of expensive storage space in the back seat, and its comprehensive loading capacity is better than that of its peers.

  In terms of intelligence, the radar RD6 car is equipped with the Galaxy OS intelligent networking system developed by Geely, which provides a high-standard solution from three aspects: remote control, interaction and ecology, supports OTA online upgrade and various intelligent function settings, and can open the whole scene intelligent voice interaction when voice wakes up.

  The arrival of radar brand symbolizes that the domestic pickup truck market has entered the competitive era of category innovation, which is also the inevitable result of the pickup truck market gradually moving from niche to mass. As an experimenter of brand-new categories, Radar Auto has planned a number of follow-up products. After RD6, it will also launch medium-sized pure electric pickups, medium-sized and large-sized new energy pickups, full-size pure electric pickups, full-size new energy off-road vehicles, pure electric all-terrain vehicles, and so on.

Land Rover’s cheapest model, starting from 209,800, buys a medium-sized SUV, and comes standard with 2.0T

Lead: It is mentioned that you may think of domineering and hard-core ones, and the discovery series was also the talk of off-road veterans in the past. However, today we don’t talk about, defend, and discover that the price reduction is very severe.

Who would have thought that Land Rover, which you couldn’t afford in the past, can now be bought at the price of an ordinary joint venture SUV, and how much is it-209,800? Yes, you heard it right. From 209,800, I bought Land Rover, although I found the sports version.

You know, it is found that although the sports version is the cheapest model of Land Rover at present, its guide price also needs 359,800-446,600 yuan, and it is also a 350,000+class model.

However, with the 350,000 Discovery Sport Edition, how can consumers be willing to pay the bill in today’s automobile market? After all, today, more than 300 million people can buy better models, such as the ideal L series for family attributes, the 400 and Series for hardliners, the luxury style and so on.

The Discovery Sports Edition, which was sold in the early 200,000 s, is much cheaper. Compared with the guide price, the discount is as high as 150,000 (entry version), and the top discount is as high as 192,000 yuan.

But, even at this price, will it make your heart beat today?

Found the sports version, positioned in a medium-sized SUV, but its body length is only 4597mm, strictly speaking, it is not a standard medium-sized SUV. But then again, Land Rover’s design still gives the discovery of the sports version a good atmosphere, leaving aside the captain to make it look like a medium-sized SUV.

In addition, unexpectedly, this medium-sized SUV with a 4-level conductor also provides a 7-seat layout other than 5 seats. Presumably, after three rows of people are filled, the space experience will not be too plentiful.

It is found that the sports version is equipped with 2.0T, and the transmission is matched with 9AT gearbox. From the book configuration, there is nothing wrong with it, but according to the feedback from colleagues who have tested it, the matching of this system is not very good, and occasionally it can be obviously felt that there is frustration; Perhaps Land Rover should follow the pace and use ZF 8AT in this car. Maybe the driving experience will be better.

It is found that there is nothing wrong with the four-wheel drive in the sports version, and the suspension is equipped with the front McPherson+rear multi-link.

Achuan pingche

I have to admit that Land Rover is the dream of many men. The "Land Rover" here may be a Range Rover, a defender or a discovery. However, under the pressure of the economy, they may not be able to touch such high-end and high-priced models, but there is still a kind of Land Rover that is more affordable to the people, such as the Discovery Sports Edition in the early 200,000 class, which is the second best choice for Land Rover fans. After all, it is also a land rover. (Text /Shen)

  Zhongxin. com, Chengdu, November 21 (Reporter Anyuan) Beibei, a male giant panda born in the National Zoo of the United States, returned to his hometown in the early morning of the 21st and stayed at the Bifengxia base in Ya ‘an, China Giant Panda Conservation and Research Center.

  According to the staff of Ya ‘an Bifengxia Base of China Giant Panda Protection Research Center, on the morning of 21st, as the special car carrying Beibei slowly pulled into the gate of Ya ‘an Bifengxia Base at night, the staff who had been waiting here gave a cheer. The winter night in Ya ‘an Bifengxia base was bitterly cold, but it did not affect everyone’s enthusiasm and passion for welcoming Beibei home. The staff unloaded the transport cage with Beibei in an orderly manner. Perhaps it is the fatigue of long-distance transportation, perhaps it is not suitable for the new environment, and "Beibei" is reluctant to come out in the transportation cage. After the Chinese breeder and American breeder patiently guided, communicated and appeased, Beibei, who gradually relaxed, bravely stepped out of the transport cage under the temptation of food and officially stayed in the giant panda quarantine area.

  On August 22, 2015, the male giant panda "Beibei" was born at the National Zoo in the United States. According to the agreement between the two parties, giant pandas born in the National Zoo of the United States need to return to China at the age of 4. In August this year, "Beibei" spent her 4th birthday in the zoo. It is understood that after learning the news of Beibei’s return to China, many fans in the United States expressed their reluctance and came to the zoo to say goodbye to Beibei. The zoo also held a series of farewell activities for Beibei.

  It takes more than 16 hours to fly directly from Washington, USA to Chengdu, Sichuan. In order to make Beibei adapt to the long journey, the zoo has conducted physical examination and cage training for Beibei in advance, and prepared its favorite foods-bamboo, apples and carrots. The American breeder accompanied Beibei safely home all the way and will accompany Beibei at Bifengxia Base in Ya ‘an for several days to help him continue to adapt to his new home. Beibei will officially meet the public after the one-month quarantine period.

  Zhang Zhizhong, director of the Wildlife Protection Department of the National Forestry and Grassland Bureau and secretary of the Party Committee of the China Giant Panda Conservation Research Center, said that he was very grateful to the National Zoo for its meticulous care and feeding of giant pandas. The China Giant Panda Conservation Research Center and the National Zoo have achieved fruitful cooperation in the management of giant panda breeding, artificial breeding, scientific research, public education and cultural exchanges. As an important platform for international cooperation and exchange of giant pandas around the world, the Center has carried out panda research cooperation with 16 zoos in 14 countries around the world. There are 32 giant pandas still living abroad, and a total of 21 surviving giant panda cubs have been bred. The development of international research cooperation on giant pandas can not only enhance the friendship between the two peoples, but also spread Chinese culture with giant pandas as the carrier, enhance the national cultural soft power and the influence of Chinese culture, and show the world a true, three-dimensional, comprehensive, peaceful and friendly image of China.
