The Avatr 11 (Chinese: 阿维塔11; pinyin: Ā wéi tǎ 11; pronounced "one one" or "yao yao" in Chinese, not "eleven") is an electric mid-size luxury crossover SUV produced by Avatr Technology, a joint venture between Changan Automobile, lithium-ion battery provider CATL, and Huawei. It is the first vehicle under the Avatr brand. In 2018, a joint venture formed between Changan and Nio. Later, CATL replaced Nio as the second biggest shareholder when Nio withdrew during a financial crisis. Right now, Changan holds 40.99% of shares, and CATL owns 17.1%. Huawei has no shares in Avatr while supplying the hardware including electric motors and software for intelligent driving, connectivity, and infotainment.[2]

The Avatr 11 is a mid-size luxury fastback crossover offered in either four-seat or five-seat variants. The interior is dominated by a dashboard that houses a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 15.6-inch infotainment screen, and a 10.25-inch passenger display. There are also two wireless charging pads and a 14-speaker sound system complete with Road Noise Cancellation and an Active Sound Enhancement system. The Avatr 11 is equipped with Huawei's HarmonyOS and DriveONE twin-motor four-wheel drive systems. Avatr is the second co-developed brand of Huawei and OEMs that has settled in Huawei's stores after AITO. The intelligent driving system of Avatr 11 utlizes a 400 TOPS processor[3] and 34 sensors, including 3 LiDARs, allowing for assisted driving on highways and smaller roads with lane change assist, traffic light recognition, and pedestrian detection as the key features.[4]
The pricing of the Avatr 11 starts at $51,800 and there are three trim levels of the car, all with dual-motor AWD setup as standard.[5] Deliveries of the two cheaper variants of the Avatr 11 are scheduled to begin in December 2022. The top-of-the-trim model is expected to follow in the first quarter of 2023.[6] In addition to the three regular trim levels, Avatr also offers a limited edition variant called the Avatr 011 MMW, a collaboration with Matthew M. Williams limited to 500 units and priced at RMB 600,000.[7][8][9]
