Overview

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. Pre-orders opened on March 27, 2025. Display models began arriving at stores a week earlier. It is related to the Avatr 07 SUV, which it shares its wheelbase and powertrains with. 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. It has a 'Halo' LED display below the windshield, which can display customizable messages and images, including instructions to other road users. 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. 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. There are six available exterior color options: smoke purple, scarlet red, obsidian black, obsidian grey, bright white, and cloud purple. 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. 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

Avatr 06T

The station wagon version of the 06 was teased on February 3, 2026, with the name of the station wagon version being confirmed as the 06T on the same day. On February 5, Avatr unveiled exterior images of the vehicle online the same day. Spyshots of the 06T previously surfaced in November 2025. Pre-sales of the vehicle opened on 8 April 2026. The 06T receives the 2026 update earlier than the 06 sedan, but is largely similar apart from the obvious changes to the rear, with minor changes to the exterior including a sporty body kit consisting of splitters and side skirts with chrome accent trim, and the addition of roof rails. The 06T features 517 L (18.3 cu ft) of trunk volume and one-touch power folding rear seats, which Avatr says provides a 2.15-metre (7.1 ft) deep cargo area.

Powertrain

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. All fully electric versions of the 06 use a 73 kWh battery and a 800V electrical architecture, along with a 252 kW (338 hp; 343 PS) motor that powers the rear wheels. 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). The battery can gain up to 400 kilometres (250 mi) of range with 10 minutes of DC fast charging. The rear and all-wheel drive versions weigh 2,210 kg (4,870 lb) and 2,320 kg (5,110 lb) respectively, and both have a top speed of 200 kilometres per hour (120 mph). Avatr's 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. It is equipped with a Changan-supplied 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine codenamed JL469ZQ1 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. It has an all-electric CLTC range rating of 230–330 kilometre
