I have never heard of Riddara, but I like the way it looks. I would be happy to drive my family in such a practical pickup. It looks like car, normal size and has huge loading space. Pity they don’t sell such small vehicles in Europe.
It’s called “Radar”, it’s a sub-brand of Geely, but it has to be renamed to “Riddara” for some reason. In Mexico Chery cars are called “Chirey”, maybe for the same reason. I think the original brand names have meanings in Spanish which may cause disadvantages at selling cars. Like in the old joke: the Chevy Nova had to be renamed in Spanish-language territories because its name meant “it doesn’t go” 😀
In Argentina,it was renamed the Chevrolet 400.
