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.
