At the Chengdu Auto Show, Geely pulled the wraps off two new variants of the Radar KingKong PHEV pickup. Pricing starts at 138,800 and 139,800 yuan, and early buyers are offered sweeteners: a 3,000-yuan trade-in bonus plus a lifetime warranty on the battery, electric motor, and control electronics for first owners.According to official figures, the electric-only range is 100 km, while total driving range with the combustion engine stretches to an impressive 1,068 km—numbers that suggest long legs between stops.Visually, the newcomer doesn’t chase trends and sticks to a no-nonsense, utilitarian brief. A narrow grille flows into polygonal headlights that feature honeycomb-like detailing inside. The profile is all straight edges and pronounced wheel arches, giving the truck a purposeful, muscular stance that matches its work-first intent.The model comes with either a short or long cargo bed. The standard-length version measures 5260 x 1900 x 1865/1880 mm with a 3120 mm wheelbase, while the extended model is 5500 x 1900 x 1865/1880 mm with a 3310 mm wheelbase. The bed difference is substantial: 1525 mm on the standard and 1765 mm on the long-bed variant. Payload exceeds one metric ton, underlining that the KingKong is built to earn its keep.Under the skin, the hybrid setup pairs a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine rated at 163 hp with a three-speed DHT hybrid automatic. The two new versions are equipped with a 19.09-kWh battery, good for up to 100 km of purely electric driving—a configuration aimed at everyday efficiency without sacrificing utility.
