Battery Range / Charging / Efficiency
The Riddara RD6 is powered by an 86 kWh battery pack in its top configuration, as seen in global and Thailand specifications. This large-capacity battery allows the pickup to achieve a claimed driving range of around 455 kilometers under NEDC or CLTC testing standards, depending on the driving mode and terrain.
Charging flexibility is another highlight — the RD6 supports DC fast charging, which can recharge the battery from 30% to 80% in approximately 32 minutes using a 100 kW charger, making it practical for quick top-ups during long trips.
For home or overnight charging, it also supports AC charging at 6.6 kW, which takes about 11 hours to charge from 20% to 100%, providing convenience for daily users who prefer to recharge their vehicle at home.
Features and Technology (Convenience + Comfort)
- Discharge (V2L) power: 6 kW / 220 V output to power external appliances from the truck bed.
- Seven driving modes: Economy, Comfort, Sport, Off-road, Wading, Sand, Mud.
- Smart control system by Geely Holding, intended to deliver a smooth EV-like interface experience.
Safety Features
While the Pakistani variant’s safety specifications have not yet been officially confirmed, the global Riddara RD6 model is equipped with several structural and protective features that highlight its engineering strength. The body structure incorporates 66% high-strength steel along with aluminum-steel hybrid panels, providing exceptional rigidity and crash resistance.
It also features multidimensional protection zones designed to absorb and distribute impact forces effectively, along with an integrated frame structure that enhances overall stability and safety during collisions.
For improved visibility and driver awareness, the RD6 offers a 540-degree surround-view camera system that minimizes blind spots, particularly during off-road or urban maneuvering.
Additionally, certain variants of the RD6 are capable of handling a wading depth of up to 815 millimeters, ensuring dependable performance and safety even in challenging terrains or flooded conditions.
Exterior and Interior Styling
The RD6 is a bold pickup with modern proportions. Its dimensions: 5,260 mm length × 1,900 mm width × 1,880 mm height, wheelbase 3,120 mm, and ground clearance of 225 mm. The cargo bed measures ~1,525 × 1,450 × 540 mm. The design includes a lower center of gravity, streamlined body, and rugged styling cues. Side steps, roof rails, and illuminated elements are often part of premium trim spec.
The cabin aims to blend tech and utility. Some markets offer dual screens (digital cluster + infotainment), and premium fit and finish. Storage innovations include an under-bench hidden storage box.Seating is for five, with comfort prioritized in premium trims.
Colours Available
The Riddara RD6 is offered in seven colours: Yellow, Silver, Blue, Brown, Green, and White.
Comparisons with Similar Cars
When comparing the Riddara RD6 vs Toyota Hilux Revo Rocco, the RD6 trades diesel’s ruggedness for electric instant torque, modern tech, and lower running cost.
The Revo is a known workhorse in Pakistan, with robust aftersales and resale strength; RD6 counters with innovation, zero emissions, and advanced features.
Maintenance and Resale Value in Pakistan
As an advanced electric pickup, servicing RD6 will require specialized EV infrastructure for battery, motor, and power electronics systems. In the early period, parts may be expensive and trained technicians are limited.
Over time, with Capital Smart Motors’ support and growing EV ecosystem, service access should improve.
Resale value in Pakistan’s fledgling EV truck market is uncertain, but the RD6’s strong specs, brand backing, and utility may help it retain value better than earlier EVs.
