The Avatr 12 liftback co-produced between Changan, Huawei and CATL has now officially gone on sale in China, CarNewsChina reports. The buyers can choose from three versions priced from 300,800 to 400,800 Yuan (US$ 41,000–54,800). Changan has reported already receiving more than 7,000 pre-orders.
The car debuted in early September and was
the marque’s second production vehicle after the Avatr 11 SUV. The two are
close from the stylistic viewpoint, but the new Avatr 12 comes close to the
Porsche Panamera in terms of size. It is 5,020 mm long and has 3,020 mm between
the axles.
The equipment list includes adaptive
shocks and air cushions enabling ride height adjustment within the range of 45
mm. A driving assist package is also available with as many as
three LiDARs. Inside, the main thing that catches the eye is an ultrawide
display sized 35.4 inches corner-to-corner installed in front of the lower
windshield rim. A normal infotainment touchscreen is also present.
The two lesser versions of the Avatr 12
use a single electric motor rated at 313 PS and 370 Nm of torque. the flagship version gets two motors for 578 PS and 650 Nm of torque combined. The battery size is fixed in any
case and amounts to 94.5 kilowatt-hours. The single-motor versions get up to
700 km of range per charge, while the dual-motor spec gets 650 km.
