Avatr confirms 07L electric SUV to lead Australian launch, with deliveries targeted for 2027

07L chosen to front Avatr’s Australian entry

Avatr has confirmed the 07L electric SUV will front its Australian launch, with pre-orders due before the end of 2026 and first customer deliveries targeted for the first half of 2027. PerthNow, carrying CarExpert’s reporting, framed the 07L as the model leading the brand’s local arrival, while Ground News carried the same timing claim as part of syndicated coverage. The confirmed point in the supplied reporting is the late-2026 order window and 2027 delivery target; no source here establishes a broader Australian model line-up beyond that announcement. ¹³

The same PerthNow report said Avatr had not yet detailed Australian pricing or full specifications for the 07L, apart from confirming that it uses an 800V electrical architecture. It also said the Australian-market car will swap Huawei sound systems for Meridian units, with further specification details to be announced closer to launch. Avatr’s release was quoted as saying the local experience has been designed around Australian customers, digital services and market requirements. ¹

What the China launch revealed

Avatr launched the five-seat 07L in China on 8 August 2026 in three battery-electric versions. CnEVPost reported starting prices of RMB229,900, RMB249,900 and RMB279,900, with limited-time benefit prices of RMB219,900, RMB239,900 and RMB269,900. Those are China-market list prices and promotional launch offers, not Australian drive-away figures. ⁵

The China-market 07L is 4,910mm long, 1,980mm wide and 1,650mm tall on a 2,990mm wheelbase. CnEVPost said it has a 100-litre frunk and a 735-litre rear boot, expanding to 1,645 litres with the rear seats folded. It also described the model as 85mm longer than the regular Avatr 07. ⁵

For performance, the Elite and Max+ versions use a single rear motor with 305kW and 435Nm, claimed at 5.9 seconds for 0-100km/h. The Ultra uses a tri-motor all-wheel-drive system with 712kW and 996Nm, claimed at 3.7 seconds to 100km/h. CnEVPost said the rear-drive versions are rated at 725km CLTC range, while the Ultra is rated at 650km CLTC. ⁵

CnEVPost also reported that all three China-market versions use an 89.33kWh CATL Shenxing battery on an 800V silicon-carbide platform, with 5C fast charging. It said the car can charge from 0 to 80% in 20 minutes and from 30 to 80% in less than 10 minutes. The model also comes standard with Huawei Qiankun ADS 5 and the new-generation HarmonySpace cockpit. ⁵

Trim differences and equipment

The Chinese launch report made clear that trim levels differ materially. The Max+ and Ultra versions use the higher-end ADS Max with a roof-mounted 896-channel LiDAR sensor, while the Elite version gets ADS Pro with an in-cabin LiDAR. The same report said parking-spot-to-parking-spot navigation assist is optional on the Max+ and Ultra but not available on the Elite, and that smart closed air springs and Magic Carpet suspension are standard only on the higher trims. ⁵

PerthNow’s CarExpert-sourced report added suspension and cabin detail for the 07L, saying it rides on double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension, with Continuous Damping Control standard and Magic Carpet air suspension optional. It also described a cabin with a 35.4-inch pillar-to-pillar display, a 15.6-inch touchscreen, a panoramic glass roof, a 16-speaker 960W Huawei sound system, and heated, ventilated, massaging and power-adjustable front seats. ¹²

Avatr said the Australian-market 07L will switch to Meridian audio, while the brand’s OS is being localised for Australia. That is a concrete local-specification and software claim, but it remains short of a full Australian equipment list. ¹

Right-hand-drive testing and wider rollout context

CarExpert reported that a right-hand-drive Avatr 07 was spied in Melbourne’s Point Cook, while zecar later reported a camouflaged Avatr 07 spotted in Canberra. Those sightings indicate Avatr’s right-hand-drive product development has reached Australian roads, but the reports did not confirm Australian pricing, launch timing or a local distributor for the 07L. ²⁴

zecar explicitly said pricing, specifications, launch timing and a local distributor had not been confirmed for the Avatr 07 sighting. That uncertainty remains important context around the Australian launch, even as Avatr has now named the 07L as the model leading its local entry. ⁴

PerthNow said Avatr was established in 2018, began producing its first vehicles in 2022 and entered its first right-hand-drive market, Thailand, in late 2024. MotorLoop’s brand background places Avatr as a Chinese premium brand built around design, intelligent technology and the ownership experience, with operations in Chongqing, Shanghai and Munich. Those details help explain the brand’s positioning, but they do not alter the still-partial state of the Australian specification picture. ¹⁷

Launch prices and timing must stay separate

The China-market 07L prices are official launch and limited-time benefit figures in renminbi, while PerthNow reported that Australian pricing has not yet been detailed. The two should be kept separate: the Chinese numbers describe the home-market launch, whereas the local price base for Australia remains unannounced. ⁵¹

BitAuto’s May 2026 report said the 07L had been unveiled in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s catalogue and that new cars were expected to launch during the third quarter of 2026. That is useful pre-launch context, but the later CnEVPost report shows the China-market launch itself landed on 8 August 2026. ⁶
