Avatr 12 launched in China with 578 hp for 41,265 USD
The Avatr 12 electric hatchback from Changan, Huawei, and CATL launched in China. It is available in three trim levels, starting at 300,800 yuan (41,265 USD). It has up to 578 hp, a 700-km range, 27 speakers, and an air suspension.
Avatr was initially founded by Changan New Energy and Nio in 2018. Later, Nio distanced from the JV due to financial reasons. CATL replaced it in the joint project. Changan owns 40% of the shares, while CATL holds over 17%. The rest belongs to various investment funds. In this project, Huawei acts as the leading supplier. Currently, Avatr’s model line comprises two models: 11 SUV and the just launched 12 hatchback.
