Avatr, the premium new energy vehicle brand jointly developed by Changan, Huawei, and CATL, officially launched its first wagon model, the Avatr 06T, on April 22, 2026. The new model is positioned as an all-scenario sports touring wagon, offering both pure electric and extended-range powertrains across five variants, with prices ranging from 219,900 yuan to 279,900 yuan (31,900 – 40,600 USD).
The Avatr 06T adopts what the company calls “Future Sports Aesthetics,” inspired by the diving posture of a peregrine falcon, creating a low-slung, wide-body stance. The front end features Avatr’s signature dual-layer LED light cluster design, with high and low beam lights embedded in the front bumper sides, complemented by a trapezoidal cooling vent with an active grille.
The vehicle measures 4,940mm in length, 1,960mm in width, and 1,455mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,940mm. Semi-hidden door handles compliant with new national standards are featured, along with optional electronic exterior mirrors to optimise aerodynamics. At the rear, a roof spoiler, rear window wiper, and through-type taillight design complete the look, while roof rails underscore its touring wagon identity.
Inside, the 06T features an embracing cockpit design. The cabin boasts a four-screen linkage system, including a 35.4-inch 4K panoramic ring screen, a 15.6-inch floating central control screen, and dual 6.7-inch high-definition exterior mirror screens. Three interior themes are available: Twilight Purple/Smoke White, Deep Purple, and Dai Red.
The intelligent cockpit runs on HarmonySpace 5, featuring a built-in MoLA large model that supports AI vehicle control, full-scenario intelligent collaboration, and voice interaction.
For intelligent driving, the 06T is equipped with the Huawei Qiankun ADS 4 system. High-spec models feature Huawei Qiankun 896-line LiDAR combined with 4D millimetre-wave radar, capable of identifying low obstacles as small as 14cm at 120 meters. The entry-level model features Huawei Qiankun’s in-cabin laser vision system with a dual-optical-path architecture.
The 06T is powered by the Taihang Intelligent Control 2.0 system with Taihang distributed electric drive:
Avatr sold 4,033 and 5,143 cars in February and March this year, respectively, but it never released its January sales figures, which were likely not very good. Due to the massive pressure from losses each brand is facing, Changan has decided to integrate the Avatr and Deepal brands together this year.
