Avatr Technology is showcasing a concept version of its latest model, the Avatr T09, at the Paris Motor Show from Oct 12 to 18, with the model's launch planned for 2026.

Chen Zhuo, chairman of Avatr Technology, said the T09 will introduce two main product lines: the Digital Series and the Flagship Series. The Digital Series will focus on casual luxury with sporty individuality, while the Flagship Series will emphasize stability, spaciousness, and premium quality.

The Avatr T09 builds upon the design philosophy of its predecessor, the Vision Xpectra concept car, featuring a large body silhouette and a distinctive front grille with a three-dimensional relief structure, composed of 362 brand logo elements arranged at varying heights.

The T09 features advanced technology, including Huawei's ADS intelligent driving system, a HarmonyOS intelligent seat, and the new Taihang intelligent control chassis technology.

Its powertrain includes a 2.0T hybrid engine paired with a three-motor distributed electric drive, delivering over 1,000 horsepower in total system power. The vehicle's energy storage system features a 71.24-kilowatt-hour CATL super hybrid battery, providing a pure electric range of over 400 kilometers under CLTC (China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle) conditions.

Chen highlighted the company's ambition to expand its product lineup and enhance overseas services, aiming to become a leading global brand in the new luxury smart electric vehicle market.

Avatr's international sales and service network covers 70 countries and regions, with an average price exceeding 300,000 yuan ($44,800). The company has secured a stable market share in key regions such as the Middle East and Southeast Asia, with a 10 percent share in Egypt's high-end electric vehicle market and the Avatr 11 ranking among the top luxury pure electric SUVs in Thailand.
