About AVATR

AVATR is a Chinese premium electric vehicle brand founded through a joint venture between Changan Automobile, battery giant CATL, and technology company Huawei. Headquartered in Chongqing, AVATR was created to combine advanced battery technology, intelligent connectivity, and modern design under a unified brand identity. The partnership structure allows AVATR to leverage Changan's manufacturing experience, CATL's leadership in lithium ion battery systems, and Huawei's digital architecture, including smart cockpit and autonomous driving technologies.

Established in 2018, AVATR represents a new generation of high tech automotive brands born from the collaboration between traditional automakers and technology firms. Its first model, the AVATR 11, is a mid size luxury electric SUV built on the CHN platform jointly developed by the three partners. The vehicle integrates Huawei's DriveONE powertrain, HarmonyOS powered smart cockpit, and ADS intelligent driving system, offering performance, comfort, and digital sophistication that rivals established global EV manufacturers.

AVATR's approach to electrification emphasizes seamless integration between hardware and software. Each vehicle features a high performance electric drivetrain, advanced driver assistance, and immersive connectivity designed to deliver an intelligent, continuously evolving driving experience. CATL's high density batteries support long range capability and ultra fast charging, while Huawei's computing architecture enables deep over the air system updates.

With plans to expand beyond China in the coming years, AVATR positions itself as a luxury technology brand rather than a traditional automaker. By uniting Changan's automotive production heritage, CATL's battery expertise, and Huawei's AI driven software ecosystem, AVATR exemplifies China's strategy of blending industrial capability with digital innovation to compete globally in the premium EV market.
