Avatr
Changan’s premium EV brand Avatr launched (in Chinese) its first model with both full battery electric and extended-range hybrid (EREV) options in a move to expand its lineup and improve sales against the backdrop of slowing demand for pure EVs. The EREV version of the Avatr 07 has a starting price of RMB 219,900 ($31,358) and a 38 kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery pack that can charge from 10% to 80% in 15 minutes. Meanwhile, the entry-level, all-electric variant costs RMB 10,000 higher and travels 650 kilometers (404 miles) on a full charge.
Avatr, jointly developed by state-owned Changan, battery maker CATL, and Huawei, offers Huawei’s Advanced Driving System (ADS) and the HarmonyOS, the tech giant’s alternative to Google’s Android operating system, as standard features on the mid-size SUV, as it has done with previous models. The EV maker, a major investor in Huawei’s automotive business unit, delivered only about 36,400 vehicles in the first eight months of this year with two models on offer, the large SUV Avatr 11 and the 12 sedan.
IM Motors, a premium EV brand owned by Volkswagen’s Chinese partner SAIC, introduced a refreshed LS6 sports utility vehicle at a price range between RMB 216,900-RMB 279,900 on Thursday, September 26, 2024.
