In January 2026, the AVATR 12 underwent a major upgrade – the first HUAWEI Qiankun co-created intelligent driving model was officially unveiled. This update not only refines the exterior details but also achieves a comprehensive leap forward in three dimensions: intelligent driving, power system, and luxurious cabin, strongly entering the 300,000-yuan intelligent electric sedan market with a product philosophy of "technology as the body, HUAWEI as the soul."

|
Vehicle dimensions |
Dimensions (length × width × height): 5020 × 1999 × 1460 mm; wheelbase: 3020 mm; positioned as a mid-to-large-sized intelligent coupe. |
|
Powertrain |
Three- motor version: 210kW front motor + dual 251kW rear
motors, total system power712kW (approximately 969 horsepower),
0-100km/h acceleration time approximately 4.17 seconds in real-world testing. |
|
Battery system |
The all-electric version is equipped with a CATL high-energy-density CTP ternary lithium battery with a capacity of 94.5kWh, supports an 800V high-voltage platform, provides 127km of range with just 10 minutes of charging, and can be fully charged from 30% to 80% in 15 minutes. |
|
Intelligent driving |
All models come standard withHUAWEI Qiankun ADS 3.0, which uses3 lidar sensors(top-mounted + front fender), 11 cameras, and 12 ultrasonic radars to achieve 300° blind-spot-free perception. The NCA takeover rate in urban areas is as low as1 time per 100km. It supports VPD valet parking, highway LCC, and RDA (Road Direct Access). |
|
Cockpit Experience |
Featuring a 35.4-inch 4K circular integrated screen, a 15.6-inch central control floating screen, and a 16-inch rear panoramic screen, the entire series is equipped withHarmonyOS 4.0 smart cockpit, supporting features such as "see and speak," continuous dialogue, and multi-screen interaction. |
|
Audio system |
Meridian25-speakersound system, with a total power of 2016W, creates a theater-quality immersive sound field. |
|
Comfort features |
Front dual zero-gravity seats (with 8-point massage and three-zone climate control), semi-concealed door handles, electronic exterior mirrors, active power rear spoiler, and a hatchback design without rear windows. |
Rear windowless hatchback design: Breaking the traditional sedan structure, improving aerodynamic performance (drag coefficient as low as 0.21Cd), and expanding the trunk volume, offering practicality far exceeding its peers.
Electronic exterior rearview mirrors: The first mass-produced model in China to feature this technology, replacing traditional physical rearview mirrors, reducing wind noise, improving night vision, and supporting automatic dimming and anti-glare functions.
Top-mounted LiDAR: Moving away from side-mounted solutions, achieving more stable and accurate environmental perception, providing sufficient redundancy for L3+ autonomous driving.
"Dai Red" interior color scheme: Combining low-saturation warm red with birch wood trim and faux suede headliner, creating a low-key luxurious "Oriental New Aristocrat" atmosphere.
The AVATR 12's intelligent driving system has evolved from "assistance" to "partner."
Full-scenario NCA: Whether in urban congestion, unprotected left turns, or construction zones, the system can make independent decisions, with a takeover rate far below the industry average.
Parking revolution: VPD valet parking can recognize mechanical parking spaces and diagonal parking spaces; no need to get out of the car, simply summon the vehicle with one click on your mobile phone for automatic parking.
Adaptive power tuning: Equipped with DriveONE iTRACK technology, through "intelligent perception and listening" and "intelligent torque adjustment" algorithms, it actively suppresses wheel fluctuations on speed bumps and icy/snowy roads, improving smoothness by more than 30%.

The AVATR 12 does not pursue "cost-effectiveness," but instead redefines "high value" with a strategy of offering luxurious features as standard across all models – there are no optional packages, only standard configurations.
The new AVATR 12 is not a simple facelift, but a systematic restructuring for the future. It uses Huawei's intelligent brain, CATL's power heart, and AVATR's aesthetic language to create an intelligent cockpit that can think, understand emotions, and has a soul.
In the 300,000 RMB market segment, it doesn't compete with SUVs on space or with family cars on price, but instead, with its coupe-like stance, flagship features, and cutting-edge technology, it declares: true luxury is making technology invisible and the experience tangible.
