The Avatr 06 (Chinese: 阿维塔06; pinyin: Ā wéi tǎ 06) is an electric mid-size sedan produced by Avatr Technology, a joint venture between Changan Automobile, lithium-ion battery provider CATL, and Huawei. It is the fourth vehicle under the Avatr brand.[1][2]
Overview
[edit]Initial images and specifications of the 06 were revealed through public homologation documents on December 9, 2024. Additionally, Avatr unveiled exterior images of the vehicle online the same day.[2] Pre-orders will open on 27 March 2025 after display models arrived at stores on 20 March, with the launch expected later in April.[3] It is related to the Avatr 07 SUV, which it shares its wheelbase and powertrains with.[1]
The exterior of the 06 follows the 'Avatr 2.0' design language. The front of the vehicle features a lower air intake with active grille shutters, with a dual strip daytime running light design and headlights mounted in the lower corners.[3] It has a 'Halo' LED display below the windshield, which can display customizable messages and images, including instructions to other road users.[4] It has pop-out door handles, and the roof and pillars are painted black. The rear of the vehicle has long and narrow strip-shaped taillights, a lip spoiler, an illuminated logo, and lacks a rear window.[5] The 06 is equipped with optional digital side mirrors and an optional roof mounted LiDAR sensor. All versions are equipped with either 20 or 21-inch wheels.[1] There are six available exterior color options: smoke purple, scarlet red, obsidian black, obsidian grey, bright white, and cloud purple.[6]
The interior features a two-tier dashboard design, with a 35.4-inch upper display serving as the instrument cluster and information display, configurable with a 15.6-inch lower touchscreen infotainment display, both running Huawei's HarmonyOS software. Vehicles equipped with the optional digital mirrors have two additional 6.7-inch mirror displays flanking the upper display.[3] The steering wheel has a flattened octagonal shape and is upholstered in leather, while the spokes are finished in a contrasting metal; the shifter is located on the steering column.
The front seats have heating, ventilating, and massaging functions, bolstered headrests, an adjustable footrest, and a 'zero-gravity' recline mode.[7] The second row seats have backrests that can recline up to 32-degrees and has 956 mm (37.6 in) of headroom.[8] The cabin is upholstered in Nappa leather and microsuede, with metallic accents and speaker grilles. It has a 2016 W 25-speaker Meridian sound system with a 7.1.4 surround sound configuration, which also supports Huawei Audio features. It has a nanometer-water droplet ionization system, which is claimed to offer sterilize and deodorize the air, moisturize skin, and reduce static charge.[5] The interior is available in three color options: Deep Purple, two-tone Twilight Purple and Smoky White, and Dai Red.[5] The 06 has a 70-litre (2.5 cu ft) frunk and a 416-litre (14.7 cu ft) rear cargo area with a 30-litre (1.1 cu ft) underfloor compartment, expanding to 1,266 litres (44.7 cu ft) with the rear seats folded down.[4]
The 06 is equipped with air suspension and continuous damping control, which allows for 45 mm (1.8 in) of ride height adjustment.[5][7] It uses a double wishbone design on the front wheels, and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.[8] It also has access to Huawei's Qiankun ADS 3.0 ADAS system, which uses a 27-sensor suite including a 192-line roof-mounted LiDAR. It is capable of supervised autonomous driving in urban and highway conditions and unmanned parking, and its auto-emergency braking system is effective at up to 120 km/h (75 mph).[4][8] Base versions get the Qiankun ADS 3.0 SE, a vision-only version which relies on camera sensors rather than LiDAR and is capable of supervised autonomous driving on highways only.[8] Avatr claims that the 06 passes the Euro NCAP 2026 50% overlap frontal crash test after a demonstration at a CATARC facility in Tianjin.[9]
Powertrain
[edit]The 06's powertrain is closely related to the Avatr 07. There are three powertrain options available, two battery electric configurations and one range extender electric option. All versions utilize CATL-supplied LFP battery packs, and use electric motors supplied by Huawei.[1]
All fully electric versions of the 06 use a 82 kWh battery and a 800V electrical architecture, along with a 252 kW (338 hp; 343 PS) motor that powers the rear wheels.[7] All-wheel drive variants have an additional 188 kW (252 hp; 256 PS) motor powering the front wheels, for a total of 440 kW (590 hp; 598 PS). Rear-wheel drive models have a CLTC range rating of 650 kilometres (404 mi) while all-wheel drive variants achieve 610 kilometres (379 mi).[7] The battery can gain up to 400 kilometres (250 mi) of range with 10 minutes of DC fast charging.[8] The rear and all-wheel drive versions weigh 2,210 kg (4,872 lb) and 2,320 kg (5,115 lb) respectively, and both have a top speed of 200 kilometres per hour (124 mph).[1]
The Avatr Kunlun range extender powertrain is only offered with a single-motor rear-wheel drive configuration producing 231 kW (310 hp; 314 PS) and equipped with a choice of either a 31.7 kWh or 45.1 kWh battery pack.[10] It is equipped with a Changan-supplied 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine which produces 115 kW (154 hp; 156 PS) and does not mechanically drive the wheels, instead powering a generator. The engine has a compression ratio of 15.1:1, allowing for a thermal efficiency of 44.4% or 3.63 kWh/L of 92-RON petrol. Avatr claims that the engine doesn't exceed 75 dB of noise during operation, and engine vibration during startup is reduced by 90% by placing the engine's cylinders in an optimal position during shutdown.[11] It has an all-electric CLTC range rating of 170–240 kilometres (106–149 mi), with total range of about 1,100 kilometres (680 mi).[7] It weighs 2,120 kg (4,674 lb) and has a top speed of 190 kilometres per hour (118 mph).[1]
