AVATR 06T: 955 HP, 680 km range, arriving in Spain in 2027
The Chinese brand AVATR, owned by the Changan group and backed by technological support from CATL and Huawei, has confirmed its arrival in Spain and Europe, where it aims to establish itself in the premium segment.
The manufacturer took advantage of the 2026 Paris Motor Show to announce its expansion plans. Spain is among the first markets targeted for 2027, when it will launch its commercial campaign with two very different models: a sports family car and a large SUV. Both reflect AVATR’s strategy to compete in the high-end market, where design and technology are as important as performance.
The arrival in Europe is part of a broader plan that includes launching six models within three years. The lineup will feature medium and large SUVs, as well as a family vehicle with a shooting brake body style. So far, the brand has only confirmed the names of the first two models in this lineup: the AVATR 06T and the AVATR 07L.
The company claims its international orientation has been present since its inception. Its design center is located in Munich and works together with one in Shanghai, employing a team of designers and engineers from over 30 countries. According to AVATR’s data, the brand is present in 70 countries and regions and has more than 280,000 owners. Its goal for 2030 is to reach 110 markets and ensure that international sales account for more than half of its total sales.
AVATR 06T: An Electric Family Car with SuperSports Performance
The AVATR 06T features a shooting brake body style that combines the silhouette of a sports sedan with a more practical rear end. Its dimensions place it in the E segment, with a length of nearly five meters and an interior designed for comfortable travel. One of its most striking features is the ability to electrically fold the rear seats, creating a loading area with a depth of 2.15 meters.
The official dimensions of the model sold in China are 4.94 meters long, 1.96 meters wide, and 1.47 meters high, with a wheelbase of 2.94 meters. The trunk offers 517 liters of capacity, a figure that allows it to combine its sporty design with family use. For now, these dimensions apply to the Chinese version, and it remains to be seen if they remain unchanged in the models destined for Europe.
The mechanical lineup of the AVATR 06T includes an electric version with three motors, two located on the rear axle and one on the front, delivering a combined power of 712 kW (968 HP) according to the provided conversion. This configuration offers all-wheel drive and performance typical of high-performance sports cars: it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.78 seconds. Its 87.3 kWh battery, supplied by CATL, enables a range of up to 680 kilometers under the Chinese CLTC cycle, which is equivalent to around 592 kilometers based on our WLTP estimation.
The offer also includes an electric version with extended range (EREV). In this case, a 1.5 turbo gasoline engine acts as a generator to power the electrical system, while electric motors handle propulsion. AVATR claims up to 330 kilometers of range in electric mode and a total driving distance of 1,250 kilometers before refueling is needed, though these figures will need to be confirmed for the versions that may arrive in Europe.
AVATR 07L: a luxury SUV with up to 968 HP
The second model chosen to make its way into Europe is the AVATR 07L, a large SUV that focuses on interior space and technological features. Its design retains the brand’s clean lines, with split front headlights, hidden door handles, and a light strip running along the rear. It can also be equipped with cameras instead of conventional mirrors, a solution that will depend on the configuration and regulations of each market.
The SUV is 4.91 meters long, 1.98 meters wide, and 1.65 meters high, with a wheelbase of 2.99 meters. The trunk capacity reaches 735 liters, a notable amount for a model aimed at combining luxury with family use. Inside, a 35.4-inch panoramic screen located beneath the windshield dominates the visual focus of the dashboard.
Technology is also one of the main selling points of the AVATR 07L. The model features an 800-volt electrical architecture and claims it can recover 30 to 80% of its charge in less than ten minutes. The battery, using LFP chemistry with a capacity of around 90 kWh, powers various mechanical configurations. The brand will need to specify the exact charging power figures and the conditions required to achieve this time when it releases the European specifications.
The base version features a rear electric motor producing 409 HP and claims up to 725 kilometers of range in the CLTC cycle, which is approximately 631 kilometers according to our estimation using the WLTP cycle. Above that is a three-motor all-wheel-drive variant with 712 kW (968 HP). This version accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and achieves up to 650 kilometers of range in the Chinese cycle, a figure that would equate to around 566 kilometers based on our WLTP estimation.
Beyond the numbers, AVATR aims to stand out through its “Emotive Luxury” design concept. The idea is to shift luxury from materials and equipment to a more personalized user experience, where design, technology, and interaction with the vehicle play a central role. This philosophy is also reflected in the VISION XPECTRA prototype developed in Munich and the AVATR T09 concept presented at the Paris event.
The strategy combines Changan’s industrial capabilities with CATL’s battery technology and the development of advanced electronic systems. Entering a highly competitive Chinese market, the brand seeks an opportunity in Europe to differentiate itself through design, performance, and equipment, rather than relying solely on sales volume.
Spain Still Awaits to Know the Prices and Distribution Network
The launch of AVATR won’t be limited to just presenting its models. The company claims it aims to establish partnerships with local partners capable of handling sales, distribution, and after-sales service—a crucial aspect for a new brand in markets like Spain. In Norway, it already has the importer RSA and plans to open two flagship stores in Oslo, along with experience centers in other cities.
In terms of after-sales support, the brand promises a network of dealers and affiliated workshops offering specialized training, factory certification, and remote technical assistance. It also plans to establish a European spare parts distribution system that will cover repairs, roadside assistance, battery inspections, and recycling throughout the vehicle’s lifetime.
There are still no confirmed prices for Spain, nor has it been officially announced which versions will reach our market. The Spanish distribution network has not yet been finalized either, so we will have to wait for further announcements to see how the AVATR 06T and AVATR 07L will compete with premium alternatives from European manufacturers.
The arrival is scheduled for 2027 and will be the first step in a campaign that includes six models over three years. If the brand can pair its impressive technical specifications with competitive prices, a strong sales network, and adequate warranties, it could become a new option in the luxury electric car segment. For now, however, there are still key uncertainties for Spanish buyers to address.
