Forget what you know about electric vehicles (EVs), because CHANGAN's Avatr is rewriting the script. Cast your eyes on the CHANGAN Avatr 12, a testament to innovation and automotive excellence that's set to redefine our electric dreams.
Emergence of Avatr: China's Electric Dynamo
From the bustling metropolis of Beijing to the futuristic skyline of Shanghai, China's electrified assault on the automotive sector is a sight to behold. In the arena of electric might, Avatr, a prodigy of Changan and CATL's collaboration, is making monumental strides. With its debut at the IAA Mobility show in Munich, the Avatr 12 has firmly established its pedigree, merging performance with unparalleled elegance and cutting-edge design.
The Avatr 12: A Technological Marvel
While its predecessor, the Avatr 11, introduced us to a new design ethos with its coupé-like SUV stance, the Avatr 12 takes this innovation to the stratosphere. Envisioned for tomorrow's roads, this sedan is attracting the gaze of EV enthusiasts worldwide with its futuristic charm.
The Essence of Engineering
Driving Dynamics: Take your pick from the spirited rear-wheel drive boosting a formidable 230 kW, or opt for the all-wheel-drive variant that cranks up the excitement with an astounding 425 kW.
Powertrain and Battery: Nestled within is a 94.5 kWh battery employing cell-to-pack technology, thanks to CATL, with electric motor components courtesy of Huawei.
Innovations Shared: While it builds on the legacy of the 750-volt platform seen in the Avatr 11, the Avatr 12 strides into its own light. It proudly bears a 94.5 kWh battery, making a bold statement in the electric realm.
Distance Defied: The Avatr 12 pledges to escort you further, boasting a projected range of 650 to 700 km, as per the Chinese testing cycle.
Design and Innovation: Where Craft Meets Genius
Exterior Elegance: With dimensions stretching 5,020 x 1,999 x 1,460 mm and a wheelbase of 3,020 mm, it's a creation that demands attention.
Unbounded View: Breaking away from traditional rear windows, the Avatr 12 showcases an expansive panoramic roof. Cameras supplant conventional side mirrors, enhancing rear visibility in one fell swoop.
Interior Technological Sanctuary: The cabin welcomes you with a one-meter digital display nestled below the windscreen, complemented by twin additional screens and a central floating touchscreen. Truly, a haven for tech enthusiasts.
Advanced Navigation: Armed with 29 sensors, including a trio of Lidar setups, the Avatr 12 integrates Huawei’s ADS-2.0 package, promising a journey that's not only intelligent but secured.
The Global Odyssey of Avatr
Initiating its assembly on September 6 in China, the global trajectory of the Avatr 12 presents an enigma. Its unveiling in Munich signifies ambitions that stretch beyond continental confines.
Cost Implications: While the Avatr 11 found its footing in the market with prices ranging from 50,700 to 59,400 euros last year, the fiscal tag of the Avatr 12 remains shrouded in mystery.
The Genesis of Avatr
Revisiting origins, Avatr, initially christened 'Changan Nio', was conceived in 2018 through the alliance of Changan and Nio. Journeying through various metamorphoses, Changan now boasts a 40.99% stake, with CATL holding 17.1%. Huawei, meanwhile, lends its technological prowess without direct ownership stakes.
As the global thirst for EVs surges, the CHANGAN Avatr 12 stands as China's commitment to fusing aesthetic allure with technological prowess and unmatched performance. Indeed, a harbinger of global automotive excellence.
