The first version to be launched is the rear-wheel drive model with 268 hp (200 kW; 272 PS), good for a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) acceleration under six seconds. The RD6 is available in single- and dual-motor configurations. Previously, it was reported that it would have a range up to 600 kilometres (370 mi) depending on the battery configuration, with power outputs ranging between 200 hp (149 kW; 203 PS) and nearly 400 hp (298 kW; 406 PS). The pure electric range could reach 373 miles (600 km) based on China's CLTC.
