Avatr just dropped some exciting news for EV enthusiasts, expanding its 06 series with the brand new Elite trim. This isn’t just another trim level, it brings some serious tech and impressive performance to the table, slotting neatly between the existing Pro and Max variants. Get ready for a driving experience that’s a step above.
Now, let’s talk numbers because, let’s be honest, that’s what gets our engines revving. The extended-range (EREV) model of the Elite trim comes in at 219,900 yuan (around 30,800 USD), while the pure electric (EV) version will set you back 229,900 yuan (approximately 32,200 USD). Considering the tech packed in, these prices are certainly competitive in China’s bustling EV market.
Advanced Tech Takes Center Stage
The real showstopper here is the Elite trim’s standard equipment. We’re talking about a 192-line LiDAR sensor, something you usually see on much pricier vehicles. This isn’t just for bragging rights, it’s the backbone of the Huawei Qiankun ADS 4 intelligent driving system, promising a smoother, safer, and more autonomous driving experience. And to top it off, the HarmonySpace 5 intelligent cockpit ensures the interior tech is just as cutting-edge. It’s details like these that are pushing Chinese EVs to the forefront, as seen with innovations discussed in articles like the Deepal’s electric dream.
From the outside, the Avatr 06 Elite maintains the brand’s sleek Avatr 2.0 design philosophy. You’ll have six vibrant exterior color options to choose from. The front end sports those distinctive dual-strip 7-shaped daytime running lights, a signature look that really stands out. Above the windshield, a Halo interactive screen can be customized for eight different scenarios, adding a personal touch. Plus, the ultra-clear electronic exterior rearview mirrors and that advanced 192-line LiDAR are integrated seamlessly. Owners will also get to pick from two stylish 20-inch wheel designs, adding to the car’s aggressive stance.
Comfort Meets Intelligent Design Inside
Step inside and you’re greeted by a cockpit that truly feels like the future. Huawei’s HarmonySpace 5 is at the heart of it, featuring a massive 35.4-inch 4K panoramic remote screen. This is perfectly complemented by a 15.6-inch central control screen, creating an immersive digital experience. Forget rough commutes, because plush features abound, including nano-ion air conditioning, dual zero-gravity front seats that cradle you in comfort, and a premium 25-speaker Meridian audio system. Long drives just became a lot more enjoyable, reflecting the trend of advanced interiors seen in other models like the one in this Deepal L06 sedan article.
On the safety and assistance front, the Avatr 06 Elite is exceptionally well-equipped. That Huawei 192-line LiDAR and Qiankun ADS 4 system are diligently working to keep you safe. Standard features include AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) and CAS 4.0 (Collision Avoidance System) for preventing those unexpected bumps. On top of that, you get parking-to-parking navigation assistance and Valet Parking Assist (VPD), making tricky parking situations a breeze. These advanced systems are becoming a benchmark, as evidenced by the growing demand for sophisticated ADAS in the Chinese market.
Power Options: EREV and Pure EV
Underneath it all, the Avatr 06 Elite offers both pure electric and extended-range powertrain options, catering to different driving needs. The EREV model packs an electric motor delivering a healthy 231 kW (310 hp) and 367 Newton meters of torque. It comes with a 31.7 kWh battery, giving it a CLTC-rated pure electric range of 230 kilometers and an impressive combined range of 1190 kilometers. This blend of electric and fossil-fuel range offers flexibility that many drivers appreciate, similar to the approaches discussed for models like the Xpeng X9 EREV minivan.
For those ready to go all-in on electric power, the pure EV variant boasts a maximum power of 252 kW (338 hp) and 365 Newton meters of torque. It’s powered by a substantial 72.88 kWh battery pack, offering a robust CLTC-rated range of 650 kilometers. This demonstrates Avatr’s commitment to providing versatile and high-performance electric vehicles. With its blend of luxury, cutting-edge technology, and strong performance figures, the Avatr 06 Elite is poised to make a significant impact in the competitive Chinese EV landscape. It’s another clear sign that Chinese EV manufacturers are rapidly innovating, much like the progress seen with VW’s collaboration with Xpeng, or the expanding portfolio of Huawei-backed brands.
