Avatr confirms European entry with 06T and 07L models launching in Norway and Spain
By Eve
Chinese luxury EV brand Avatr, backed by Changan, CATL and Huawei, has confirmed its European market entry starting with the 06T estate and 07L SUV in Norway and Spain. The brand will establish local sales, service and partner networks, with plans to launch six models across Europe over the next three years, including mid-size SUVs, large SUVs and shooting brake body styles with full BEV and range extender powertrains. Avatr debuted the models in Paris as part of its global expansion strategy.
Why it matters
The entry of another Chinese OEM into Europe intensifies competition for charging infrastructure partnerships and may drive demand for high power charging networks to support premium EV models. Avatr's multi-model rollout across Norway and Spain creates opportunities for CPOs and installers to secure contracts with the brand's planned local service networks.

The commercial vehicle maker will supply electric heavy-duty trucks to logistics providers transitioning away from fossil fuels under the programme.
