AVATR is working to establish itself in Spain’s luxury electric car market. Changan backs the Chinese brand, with CATL and Huawei also behind it. AVATR is targeting a direct entry in 2027 with two distinct models, a large SUV and a Shooting Brake, designed to pair high-end comfort with advanced technology and strong performance.
The AVATR 06T leads the charge. Its body blends sports-car lines with the utility of a Shooting Brake, aiming to deliver both performance and practicality. At 4.94 meters long and 1.96 meters wide, the 06T sits in the E-segment. A 2.94-meter wheelbase and 517-liter boot provide space, while electrically folding rear seats create a flat cargo area more than two meters deep. Few premium competitors offer that feature.
China-Gadgets.de reported that the AVATR 06T was among the first vehicles in China to feature Huawei's Qiankun ADS 5 driver assistance system when it launched in April 2026.
The electric 06T has three motors, a pair at the rear and one at the front, with a combined output of 712 kW. Most sources put that at about 955 hp, while the 968 CV figure may change once European homologation data is available. All-wheel lead is standard, and the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.78 seconds, putting it among the fastest electric models on sale. CATL supplies the 87.3 kWh battery, rated for up to 680 kilometers on China’s CLTC cycle. Under the WLTP standard, the estimated range falls to 592 kilometers. Official European range figures are still pending, and local testing could change the numbers.
AVATR is also preparing a range-extender version (EREV) for drivers who cover long distances. A 1.5 turbo petrol engine works solely as a generator, supplying power to the electric motors. The company claims up to 330 kilometers of pure electric driving and a total range of 1,250 kilometers before refueling. European models still need to confirm these specifications.
AVATR’s European expansion also depends on local sales and after-sales partners, impressive in Spain’s demanding market. In Norway, the brand has teamed up with RSA and plans to open flagship stores in Oslo, along with experience centers in other cities. Its after-sales network is set to include certified dealers and remote technical support. A European parts network would cover repairs and roadside assistance, as well as battery checks and recycling. Changan is also bringing its Deepal and Nevo brands to the region: Deepal is already present, while AVATR and Nevo are expected by 2027, Eletric-Vehicles.com reported.
Spain is among the first European markets on AVATR’s 2027 roadmap, with the 06T and 07L set to debut. The broader plan calls for six models over three years, with SUVs ranging from mid-size to large and a family Shooting Brake also in the mix. The company has design centers in Munich and Shanghai, staffed by a team representing more than 30 countries. AVATR says it operates in 70 countries and regions and has more than 280,000 owners worldwide. By 2030, it aims to reach 110 markets and generate more than half of its sales internationally.
Pricing for Spain has not been announced, and the exact model lineup remains unconfirmed. Details of the Spanish distribution network are also pending. AVATR’s competition with established European premium brands will depend on its next steps and its ability to turn its technical specifications into sales in Spain’s luxury EV sector.
