It’s an interesting car, but are the advertised stats true? It’s an electric crew cab truck measuring 526 cm long, with a range of 600 km, two motors with 400PS, AWD and a weight of merely 1660 kg (the same as a diesel-powered compact executive). Sounds a little “too good to be true” with that weight, even if Geely has become a respectable brand.
Article is mix and matching different stats from different trims of the RD6. The base mode has a single 200 kW rear motor, and only 410 km of CLTC (not even WLTP) range from its relatively small 63 kWh LFP pack. That’s probably the one that weighs 1660 kg. It is ridiculously cheap though, at least in China, for the equivalent of just 21k USD.
Higher trim models with dual motors and the largest 100 kWh battery pack will obviously be much heavier and more expensive, although even maxed out it is still at 40k USD in the Chinese market, which isn’t bad. If it was available in the US, I’d instantly buy a mid trim big battery RWD model.

Thanks. Good to have that clarified. I could use one with a mid-trim mattery and AWD here. Seems like a decent cabin trip car.
