Radar EV Pickup makes its highly anticipated public debut at the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) 2026, marking its inaugural appearance at a Philippine motor show. Officially launched in October 2025, Radar redefines the pickup truck segment with its compelling blend of electric power, unibody comfort, and versatile utility.
The Radar RD6 stands out as a trailblazer in the Philippine market, featuring a groundbreaking unibody construction which is a first for the local pickup segment. This architectural shift provides significantly enhanced ride comfort, offering a more refined driving experience than traditional body-on-frame pickups. To cater to diverse consumer needs, the RD6 is available in two distinct powertrains: the pure electric (BEV) RD6 Econ and the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) RD6 EM-P 4WD (read our review).
The RD6 Econ is engineered for efficient everyday utility, delivering 245 horsepower and up to 485 Nm of torque and a pure electric driving range of up to 443 km through its 63 kWh and 73 kWh battery options. Meanwhile, the RD6 EM-P 4WD produces an impressive 463 horsepower and 659 Nm of torque. This PHEV variant offers a pure EV range of up to 82 kilometers for short commutes and an expansive combined hybrid range exceeding more than 1,000 kilometers ensuring long-distance reliability without range anxiety.
Built to handle the demands of both work and adventure, the RD6 is engineered for uncompromising real-world performance. It supports a substantial 1-ton payload capacity and features a 225 mm ground clearance paired with an 815 mm wading depth, ensuring confidence across varied terrains. Furthermore, its class-leading 1,765 mm bed length of the Econ 73kWh 2WD provides unmatched cargo versatility for SMEs and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
The RD6 integrates future-ready features designed for the modern driver, such as Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability which allows the vehicle to serve as a mobile power source. Using its GB/T fast-charging system, the battery can be replenished in as little as 30 minutes.
Inside, the cabin is anchored by a 14.6-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay for EM-P variants, while thoughtful additions like ventilated rear seats elevate the comfort of every journey. Designed for fleet businesses and modern adventurers, the RD6 redefines the pickup as a powerful, practical, and fully electrified mobility solution.
“The Radar EV Pickup’s first moto rshow appearance at MIAS 2026 marks a meaningful step forward for pickup truck customers. The cost efficiencies of the PHEVs and BEVs matters now more than ever,” said Franz Decloedt. “We’re proud to present a vehicle designed around what drivers truly need—strong performance, dependable utility, and everyday comfort—while using less fuel, for as low as P 2.64/km/day with the RD6 ECON (BEV). With advanced technology and the capability to go further, it’s built to help Filipino motorists do more while spending less.”
