Avatr 07 L Enters the 250K Yuan Ring With Standard Huawei ADAS and CATL Fast-Charge — A CHN Alliance Power Play

The Changan-Huawei-CATL joint venture brand Avatr has opened presale for the 07 L, a long-wheelbase variant of its mid-size SUV, priced from 249,900 yuan (roughly $34,470). With a 2,990 mm wheelbase — 50 mm longer than the standard Avatr 07 — and Huawei Qiankun ADS 4 Max as standard equipment on both trims, the 07 L is the clearest signal yet that the CHN Alliance intends to compete directly at the heart of China’s premium SUV market.

The move positions the 07 L against the Zeekr 7X, XPeng G9 and Li Auto L6 in the 250,000-280,000 yuan bracket. For additional context on how this compares across the segment, iEVChina’s full coverage breaks down the competitive landscape in detail.

Key Highlights: What the Wheelbase Stretch Delivers

The 50 mm wheelbase extension flows directly into rear-passenger comfort — roughly 55 mm of additional legroom and slightly reclined seat cushions. Cargo capacity reaches 590 litres expandable to 1,410 litres with the second row folded. The 07 L is positioned as a large five-seat executive SUV rather than a seven-seater, targeting buyers who prioritise rear-cabin comfort over maximum seating capacity.

Powertrain: BEV and EREV on CATL Architecture

Two powertrain options are available. The BEV variant uses a 90 kWh CATL Shenxing 800V pack with CLTC range of approximately 715 km and 10-80 per cent DC fast-charge under 15 minutes. The EREV variant pairs a 55 kWh CATL Shenxing pack with a 1.5T range-extender engine, delivering 260 km of pure-electric range and a combined CLTC range exceeding 1,300 km. Air suspension is standard on the 279,900-yuan trim; CDC damping on the entry level.

Why It Matters: ADS 4 Max at 249,900 Yuan

Bundling Huawei’s top-tier ADS 4 Max — dual roof lidar, front long-range lidar, nine 8-megapixel cameras and five millimetre-wave radars — as standard at the entry price is the 07 L’s most aggressive move. Competitors at this price point either do not offer lidar-based ADAS or reserve it for higher trims. The 07 L’s entry price undercuts the Zeekr 7X flagship by 10,000 yuan while matching the XPeng G9 entry, making it a structural challenge in a segment where software-defined driving features are increasingly the purchase trigger.
