Overview

Perspective
In July 2023, Avatr Technology presented the second model in its range as part of the expansion of the range that so far consisted of only the 11. The 12 took the form of a flagship executive car combining the features of a sedan and a fastback in its proportions.[1][2] Like the 11, the styling design was created by former BMW designer Nader Faghihzadeh.[3]
The characteristic visual features of the 11 with massive proportions were transferred to a more slender silhouette, which retained round edges, double lighting with a "C" motif and narrow strips of rear lamps. The door handles were hidden, and the small rear window was integrated with the smoothly sloping glass of the low roof. The edge of the trunk lid is topped with an optionally hinged spoiler, which opens together with the window, as in liftbacks.[4] The car is also equipped with an optional camera system replacing traditional side mirrors. The wheels come in two sizes: 20 or 21 inches.[5]
The interior features a steering wheel with an oval shape, and the central 15.6-inch touchscreen of the multimedia system dominates the central console. One large horizontal screen across the entire width of the cockpit.[6]

Perspective
On 12 August 2024, Avatr showcased a limited edition of the 12 called the Avatr 012 and opened bookings the same day, after first teasing the special edition earlier that year on 20 May.[7] The model is codesigned by Avatr head designer Nader Faghihzadeh and Kim Jones, who was an artistic director at Dior and Fendi at the time. The exterior features custom 'liquid silver' paint, modified headlights, and 21-inch mirror-finished forged wheels. The interior uses the four-seater version with four-zone climate control, and features two-tone white vegetable-tanned Nappa leather and tan Alcantara upholstery, a geometric star design on the panoramic sunroof, special edition logos embossed in the headrests, and custom logo splash screen in the infotainment system. The steering wheel and B-pillar can have personalized engravings.[8][9]
It uses a dual-motor 402 kW (539 hp; 547 PS) Huawei DriveONE powertrain paired with a 93.4 kWh CATL-supplied battery capable of 5C charging. It has a CLTC range rating of 650 kilometres (404 mi), 0–100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration time of 3.8 seconds, a top speed of 220 km/h (137 mph), and it can charge from 30–80% in 10 minutes. Production is limited to 700 units globally, and the vehicle comes with a complimentary Dior tote bag.[10][11] and the vehicle launched on 25 March 2025 at a significantly higher price of 700,000 yuan.[12][13]
