Chinese luxury EV brand Avatr’s Australian website has gone live, inviting buyers to register their interest in the 07L electric SUV and 06T electric wagon.
The 07L is due to arrive first, with pre-orders expected to open before the end of 2026 and initial deliveries targeted for the first half of 2027. The 06T is due to follow in the second half of 2027.
According to the website, Avatr’s models are designed in Germany, led by Chief Design Officer Nader Faghihzadeh, who previously spent 17 years at BMW, working on design aspects of the BMW 7 Series, 6 Series, the i3 and the i8.
Avatr is a premium Chinese EV brand created as a joint venture between three industry giants. These include the auto manufacturer Changan, the battery manufacturer CATL, and the tech company Huawei.
It was founded in 2018 and is headquartered in Chongqing, China, with design and engineering hubs sitting in Shanghai and Munich, Germany.
The Avatar 07L was sighted in New South Wales and is being tested ahead of the model’s launch.
The 07 is currently sold in right-hand-drive markets like Thailand and Singapore, which have a standard wheelbase. The long-wheelbase version of the 07 is the 07L, first teased on May 8, 2026.
In China, the electric Avatr 07L uses an 89.33 kWh CATL Shenxing lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery. Avatr claims up to 725 km of range on China’s CLTC test cycle for the rear-wheel-drive versions and 650 km (likely closer to 500 km on the WLTP cycle) for the all-wheel-drive version.
Avatr says the battery can charge from 30 to 80 per cent in under 10 minutes. The all-wheel-drive 07L can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in a claimed 3.7 seconds.
In recent weeks, Avatr’s sleek electric wagon, the 06T with a 2.78-second 0-100 km/h acceleration time, was spotted testing in the wild in Sydney.
In China, rear-wheel-drive versions of the 06T electric wagon offer a choice of a 75.46 kWh battery rated at 652 km on the CLTC cycle or an 89.33 kWh battery rated at up to 741 km.
The flagship all-wheel-drive version uses the larger battery, with a claimed 680 km of CLTC range and a 0–100 km/h time of 2.78 seconds.
Australian pricing, variants and WLTP range figures are yet to be announced.
The 06T is currently sold in China, with presales starting in April 2026. The 07 is one of its newest models, and its EV variants come with two Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries from CATL.
The first is a 75.5 kWh battery pack, which helps the car reach up to 652 km of CLTC range, likely closer to 500 km on the WLTP cycle. The other is a larger 89.3 kWh battery, which is rated at up to 741 km of CLTC range, likely closer to 550 km on the WLTP cycle.
More details on the brand, the 07L and 06T local specs, variants and pricing are expected closer to launch in the coming months.
