The Avatr 11 (pronounced “one-one”) is a luxury electric SUV crossover that represents a high-tech collaboration between Changan Automobile, Huawei, and CATL. In the Qatar market, it has emerged as a formidable challenger to established luxury EVs, blending “space-inspired” aesthetics with industry-leading software and battery technology.
Futuristic Design & Exterior
The Avatr 11 is defined by its “Disc-wing” front fascia and a silhouette that sits between a coupe and an SUV.
- Space-Age Lighting: Features a distinct “3-line” LED headlight signature and a “Star Ring” tail lamp that wraps around the rear.
- Aerodynamics: Includes a Sail-style active rear spoiler that deploys at high speeds to increase downforce and stability.
- Unique Profile: The rear window is exceptionally vertical and recessed between two “flying buttresses,” giving it a supercar-like rear profile rarely seen on SUVs.
- Touch-Free Entry: All four doors are fully electric (power-actuated) and feature frameless glass for a sleek, modern look.
Performance & Powertrain
Leveraging Huawei’s DriveONE 800V SiC electric drive system and CATL battery tech, the Avatr 11 offers supercar-rivaling performance.
- Dual-Motor AWD: Produces up to 570 HP and 650 Nm of torque, enabling a 0–100 km/h sprint in just 3.9 seconds.
- Battery & Range: * Standard: 90 kWh battery (~575 km NEDC range).
- Long Range: 116 kWh battery (~680–730 km NEDC range).
- Ultra-Fast Charging: Thanks to its 750V-800V architecture, it can gain 200 km of range in just 10 minutes of charging at a high-speed DC station.
Intelligent Cabin & Technology
The interior is designed as a “third living space,” heavily influenced by Huawei’s ecosystem.
- Triple-Screen Setup:
- 15.6-inch central floating touchscreen.
- 10.25-inch driver instrument cluster.
- 10.25-inch dedicated passenger entertainment screen.
- HarmonyOS: The entire cockpit runs on Huawei’s HarmonyOS, offering a fluid, smartphone-like interface with seamless phone-to-car app transitions and 5G connectivity.
- Zero-Gravity Seating: The front seats feature a “Zero Gravity” mode that reclines to an astronaut-inspired posture to reduce pressure on the body during charging breaks.
- Vortex Sound: A 25-speaker Meridian sound system with active noise cancellation creates a lounge-like acoustic environment.
Advanced Safety (Huawei ADS 2.0)
The Avatr 11 is essentially a rolling supercomputer, equipped with 34 sensors, including 3 LiDAR units, 6 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, and 13 HD cameras.
- 360° Collision Avoidance: Uses Huawei’s GOD (General Obstacle Detection) network to identify unusual objects (like overturned vehicles or fallen trees) that traditional systems might miss.
- Intelligent Parking: Features Automated Valet Parking (AVP) and Remote Parking Assist (RPA), capable of maneuvering into tight spots with only 0.4m of clearance.
- Lidar Fusion: The triple LiDAR setup provides a 300-degree field of view, ensuring reliable performance even in difficult lighting or dusty conditions common in Qatar.
Pricing and Availability in Qatar (2025)
The Avatr 11 is available through specialized luxury EV importers and emerging dealerships in Doha.
- Estimated Starting Price: Approximately QAR 185,000 to QAR 258,000 depending on the motor configuration and battery size.
- Warranty: Typically offered with a 5-year / 100,000 km manufacturer warranty and an extended battery warranty of 8 years.
