Riddara mini review

[yankee99]

Had some spare time today and test drove the Riddara Rd6 4wd 86kw (basically top model)

 

Since it was a short test drive i have a few comments.

 

At 1,299,000 seems expensive and im not convinced its worth upgrading my 6 year old wildtrak.

 

This was a dual motor and would smoke my ford power wise.

 

The bed is small compared to the wildtrak. For my use its suitable. There are also 4 220v outlets in the bed which would come in handy. It also comes with a towbar.

 

Fit and finish were nice the interior was more upscale than my ford. There was no trim around the windshield which seemed odd (maybe a ev thing). Also i wasn't a big fan of the wheel covers (hub caps).

 

It has 360 camera which is nice and a mirror app for your phone. I couldn't connect my phone via Bluetooth without disconnecting my watch (software bug)? I also couldn't get google maps to work i guess the truck needs a sim card.

 

I tried the camping mode whatever its called. Basically its supposed to recline the seat shut the engine and run the ac. Be warned you should remove your seat belt because it started to strangle me. Also the seat needs to be moved backwards as after i freed myself from strangulation it tried to crush my knees. Im sure software will fix some of these issues.

 

fwiw the thai model doesn't have a sun roof or a cooling compartment for your drinks.

How did you manage to find a dealer. I have been trying for an age to register for a test drive. Any suggestions or tel numbers much appreciated.

 

Thanks
