AVATR has put the BEV version of the 07L on sale, and the spec sheet reads like a greatest-hits reel of China's EV tech stack. The headline act is Huawei's Qiankun ADS 5 driver-assistance system, which brings gesture park-out, leave-the-car park-in assist, and one-tap spot alignment — features that sound gimmicky until you have watched a car shuffle itself into a pillar-hugging space while you stand outside with your hands in your pockets.
Under the skin sits CATL's 89.33 kWh 5C Shenxing ultra-fast-charging battery, good for a CLTC-rated 725 km of range. That is the combination buyers in this segment actually shop on: enough charge speed to treat a roadside stop like a coffee break, and enough range to make range anxiety a background hum rather than a constant companion.
The 07L's BEV launch matters because AVATR has leaned heavily on range-extender variants to move volume; a credible long-range BEV flagship closes the loop on the brand's "Changan makes it, Huawei thinks for it, CATL powers it" formula. Whether the market still wants a 725 km flagship in a cooling overall market is the real test.
