The AVATR 12 represents the brand's inaugural midsize pure-electric sedan. With its futuristic design, it incorporates intelligent light-sensing front windshields and a panoramic sunroof. This not only supports adaptive sunroof and windshield light sensitivity but also delivers an exceptional visual experience.

The vehicle's front end features butterfly-wing styling with a minimalist and sci-fi-inspired grille. It boasts dimensions of 5,020mm long, 1,999mm wide, 1,460 (1,450) mm tall, with a 3,020mm wheelbase, offering 20-inch and 21-inch wheel options. Notably, traditional side mirrors have been replaced with electronic versions to reduce wind resistance and enhance its tech-forward profile.

Inside, the AVATR 12 introduces fresh elements, including a new-style steering wheel and a layered center console featuring a 35.4-inch 4K panoramic widescreen. Electronic side mirror displays flank the central screen, providing driver information and more.

In terms of intelligence, the AVATR 12 is equipped with the HarmonyOS 4.0 system and the advanced ADS 2.0 intelligent driving system from Huawei, reducing reliance on HD maps and delivering a highly intelligent driving experience across various scenarios, including highways, urban areas, and parking.
