Avatr 12
The Avatr 12 is an electric executive car produced by Avatr Technology, a joint venture between Changan Automobile and lithium-ion battery provider CATL. It is the second vehicle under the Avatr brand.
Overview
In July 2023, Avatr Technology presented the second model in its range as part of the expansion of the range that so far consisted of only the 11. The 12 took the form of a flagship executive car combining the features of a sedan and a fastback in its proportions. Like the 11, the styling design was created by former BMW designer Nader Faghihzadeh.The characteristic visual features of the 11 with massive proportions were transferred to a more slender silhouette, which retained round edges, double lighting with a "C" motif and narrow strips of rear lamps. The door handles were hidden, and the small rear window was integrated with the smoothly sloping glass of the low roof. The edge of the trunk lid is topped with an optionally hinged spoiler, which opens together with the window, as in liftbacks. The car is also equipped with an optional camera system replacing traditional side mirrors. The wheels come in two sizes: 20 or 21 inches.
The interior features a steering wheel with an oval shape, and the central 15.6-inch touchscreen of the multimedia system dominates the central console. One large horizontal screen across the entire width of the cockpit.
