Despite the worldwide surge in SUV popularity, the Chinese automotive market continues to maintain a strong interest in stylish wagons, particularly those that combine performance, practicality, and advanced technology. A new entry into this niche is the Avatr 06T, a sleek shooting-brake model developed as a more versatile alternative to the company’s electric sedan that targets competitors such as the Tesla Model 3. With the official debut approaching, the manufacturer has released early images and details that highlight the vehicle’s distinctive styling and advanced features.
From the front, the Avatr 06T closely resembles the previously introduced Avatr 06 sedan, retaining the recognizable split LED headlight arrangement and futuristic fascia design. The most noticeable differences appear along the vehicle’s side and rear sections. The wagon-like profile features roof rails and a lengthened roofline that flows smoothly into a redesigned rear end, emphasizing both practicality and aerodynamic efficiency. Designers have sculpted the rear fenders to appear more muscular, while the upward-sweeping beltline contributes to a dynamic stance. A large rear spoiler and sharply angled rear window further enhance the sporty character, distinguishing the 06T from the sedan’s more conventional tail design.
Additional design elements include slim full-width LED taillights integrated into a reshaped rear panel, as well as a sculpted bumper with an aerodynamic diffuser that improves airflow. Black protective cladding along the lower body creates a subtle crossover-inspired look, although the wheel arches remain clean and uncluttered for a refined appearance. Another notable change is the adoption of revised door handles that differ from the sedan’s flush-mounted design, likely introduced in response to updated Chinese safety and regulatory standards that affect door-handle construction. Dimensionally, the wagon is expected to share the sedan’s 2,940-millimeter wheelbase and measure approximately 4,855 millimeters in overall length.
Inside the cabin, the overall layout is expected to remain largely consistent with the sedan, featuring an expansive 35.4-inch panoramic display running along the base of the windshield, paired with a central 15.6-inch touchscreen powered by HarmonyOS 5.0. Thanks to the extended roofline, rear passengers should benefit from improved headroom, while the cargo area will provide greater luggage capacity, enhancing the car’s everyday usability. The 06T will also introduce Huawei’s next-generation 192-line LiDAR sensor, positioned on the roof and integrated with the latest Qiankun ADS 4.0 advanced driver-assistance system. This upgraded sensor is capable of detecting objects at distances of up to 250 meters, representing roughly a 20 percent increase in range compared with earlier systems.
Mechanically, the Avatr 06T is expected to utilize the same architecture as the 06 sedan and the related 07 SUV. Buyers will likely be able to choose between a fully electric configuration and a range-extender version. The dual-motor electric variant is projected to deliver as much as 590 horsepower, while the extended-range model may offer a combined driving range of approximately 1,250 kilometers. Both versions are designed to support ultra-fast 5C charging capability.
The Avatr 06T is scheduled to enter the Chinese market in the near future, where it will compete primarily with models such as the Nio ET5T, while sitting below more premium wagon offerings like the Denza Z9 GT, Stelato S9T, and Zeekr 007 GT. Although pricing details have yet to be confirmed, the sedan version currently starts at around $30,200 in China. Strong interest in the Avatr 06 and 07 has already helped the brand achieve monthly sales of roughly 10,000 units domestically, though the company—supported by Changan, Huawei, and CATL—will need to further increase production volumes to remain competitive with rapidly growing rivals including Zeekr and Nio.
