Avatar T09 concept SUV was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show. This Chinese concept has stunning specifications and looks like a perfect package on paper. According to Avatar, this car is supposed to be the beginning of a new family of flagship products of the company.

You may know that the Avatr brand was founded in cooperation with Changan, CATL battery company and Huawei. Its design department is also led by Nader Faqihzadeh, a famous Iranian designer who has experience working for BMW. Thanks to the support of these prominent names, Avatar now dreams of competing with the world's luxury brands.

The Avatar T09 concept SUV previews a production model. This model will be released in the Chinese domestic market by the end of this year. Chen Zhuo, the head of Avatar, considers the introduction of T09 to be the beginning of the formation of the second identity of this brand's products; An identity that is created alongside current products and targets different customers. According to him, from now on, Avatar will have two separate product series, which are:

Digital series with a focus on effortless luxury, elegance and sporty and progressive design

Flagship series with emphasis on luxury, prestige and impressive design

In this way, Avatar aims to create a distinction between luxury cars with modern design and products that emphasize prestige, prestige and social status. The T09 SUV is the first representative of this new approach.

The length of the Avatar T09 SUV concept is 5.21 meters and its width is 2.01 meters. Such dimensions make the T09 in the class of full-size SUVs a competitor for famous models such as Mercedes-Benz GLS, BMW X7 and Audi Q9. The possible price of this car is estimated at 500,000 yuan; This figure is equivalent to approximately 70,500 dollars or 18.7 billion tomans.

Avatar T09 concept is designed based on a new philosophy called Vision Xpectra; A philosophy whose foundations were laid by Nader Faqihzadeh. The prominent designer said that the T09 concept embodies a new design philosophy in the form of a calm, confident and dignified appearance and expands the concept of unpretentious luxury into the realm of admirable luxury. In this look, the goal is not only to attract attention with exaggerated lines or flashy details; Rather, the car should convey a sense of prestige and glory without being busy.

Inside the cabin, Avatar T09 uses six seats with a 2+2+2 arrangement. Independent seats are provided in all three rows and there is no integrated bench seat common in many family cars. This type of arrangement can provide more personal space for passengers and make the travel experience closer to luxury cars.

In the published images, a wide and full screen can be seen on the dashboard. This screen includes three screens, including a 10.25-inch digital amp screen behind the steering wheel, a 17.2-inch screen in the center of the dashboard, and a third screen for the side passenger with the same dimensions. Regarding software details, communication facilities and special comfort equipment, there is no word yet.

As we mentioned at the beginning, Avatar has a different mix in terms of ownership structure and technology. Changan owns the major share of this brand and assembles the cars. As one of the giants of the battery industry, CATL is a reliable support in the field of battery supply; Huawei also presents its experiences and achievements in the field of electronic systems and smart technologies.

The Avatar T09 concept is placed in the category of EVs or EREVs. In this concept SUV, a 2-liter turbocharged gasoline engine acts as a generator, and all four wheels receive their power from three electric motors. The combined power of this complex is said to be more than 1,000 horsepower; With such a figure, T09 is considered among the most powerful SUVs in the market. Relying on this huge power plant, the latest Avatar product has the ability to reach a maximum speed of 220 km/h.

The energy required for the Avatar T09 electric motors is supplied by a 71.24 kWh battery. As expected, this battery is manufactured by CATL and is from the Freevoy series. This series has been developed with the priority of use in hybrid vehicles. According to the information recorded in the vehicle approval documents in China, plug-in hybrid versions equipped with this battery can travel between 300 and 330 kilometers in full electric mode. Of course, these figures are calculated based on the optimistic CLTC standard.

Avatar T09 is another proof that Chinese automakers are no longer content with competing in the economy and mid-range car market and are looking for a share in the market of luxury and powerful models. The combination of a 1000 horsepower engine with a luxurious six-seater cabin and advanced features on paper creates an attractive and impressive package. However, these are only part of the story. For many customers, other factors such as build quality, actual engine performance, range of motion in real conditions and user experience of technologies are more important than specifications on paper. Of course, the price is also very important, especially when it comes to a car made in China.

For now, the Avatar T09 should be considered an interesting concept to show the future direction of the fledgling brand. If the final version can keep its technical promises and luxury level, this SUV can become one of the most ambitious export products of Avatar and China.
