On August 21, the Avatr 012 made its debut and was officially opened for pre-sales at the 2024 Avatr Brilliant Night event held in Shanghai, China. The 012 is jointly designed with Dior and Fendi artistic director Kim Jones, has a 700,000 yuan (98,100 USD) price tag, and is limited to only 700 units. One Dior tote bag will also be delivered with the vehicle.
The size of the Avatr 012 is consistent with that of the 2024 Avatr 12, measuring 5020/1999/1450 mm, with a 3020 mm wheelbase. Power comes from Huawei’s DriveONE system, coupled with CATL’s 5C Qilin battery pack, which takes 10 minutes to replenish the battery from 30% to 80% under fast charging. At this time, the detailed powertrain parameters have not been officially revealed. However, according to Chinese media DongCheDi, the Avatr 012 has a total system power of 425 kW (570 hp) and a comprehensive torque of 650 Nm, including a 195 kW (261 hp)/280 Nm front motor and a 230 kW (308 hp)/370 Nm rear motor. The CLTC range is 650 km.
The Avatr 012 runs on 21-inch forged mirror rims. Digital side mirrors and hidden door handles are also not absent.
For the exterior, the Avatr 012 continues the design of the Avatr 12. The new car uses a “liquid silver” paint. The front face adopts the split E-shaped headlights, an interactive HALO screen comprised of 10,500 lamp beads, and a lidar positioned in the center of the grille. The grille can automatically open or close for heat dissipation or air-intake. At the same time, there are two additional lidars on the fenders to realize advanced driving assistance capabilities via Huawei Qiankun ADS 3.0.
Additionally, the rear features slender split headlights and a tail wing.
Inside, the cockpit also follows the layout of that of the Avatr 12, adopts a warm color scheme, and is powered by Huawei’s HarmonyOS 4. The number of physical buttons has been minimized, paired with a polygonal steering wheel, a 15.6-inch central control screen, and a 35.4-inch 4K resolution integrated screen consisting of the instrument panel and a multimedia system. At the same time, there are two small screens on the side for the digital side mirrors. In addition, Avatr offers logo customization on the steering wheel and B-pillar.
Furthermore, the headrests are engraved with the Avatr and Kim Jones exclusive logo.
The roof adopts a starry skylight design and the second row has independent seats covered with Nappa leather material, a ceilling screen, and an armrest.
