In a mid-size new energy SUV market currently dominated by models such as the Li Auto L6 and AITO M7, the Avatr 07 has made a formidable entrance with its posture of "intelligent luxury." It aims to redefine the value proposition for smart electric SUVs in the 200,000 to 280,000 RMB price bracket through Huawei’s full-stack intelligence, emotionally resonant design, and segment-transcending configurations.

On the road, the Avatr 07, powered by the Huawei DriveONE electric drive system, demonstrates a confidence commensurate with its pioneering positioning. The extended-range version features a 1.5L turbocharged range extender (1,499 mL displacement) paired with either a rear single motor or a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup, delivering a combined output of up to 362 kW and a peak torque of 629 N·m. The pure electric variant offers options of 230 kW for rear-wheel drive or 440 kW for all-wheel drive. The accelerator calibration is linear and refined; initial response is sharp yet never jerky, allowing power to unfold smoothly like silk. A deep press of the pedal unleashes immense torque instantly, propelling this 2.2-ton vehicle from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds (AWD version), with ample reserve power remaining in the mid-to-high speed ranges.

In contrast, the Li Auto L6 (AWD version), also equipped with a 1.5L range extender (1,499 mL) and dual motors, produces a combined 300 kW and 529 N·m of torque. Its power delivery emphasizes "smooth comfort." The initial throttle response is slightly more reserved, aligning with a family-oriented driving scenario that favors tranquility over aggression. The divergence in their power philosophies is clear: the Avatr 07 is the "composed and elegant intelligent pioneer," while the Li Auto L6 serves as the "comfort-first family cruiser."

Regarding range, the Avatr 07 extended-range edition comes with either a 39 kWh or 52 kWh battery pack, offering a CLTC pure electric range of 230–300 km and a comprehensive range exceeding 1,200 km. The pure electric version provides a range of 650–700 km and supports 800V high-voltage fast charging, capable of adding 200 km of range in just 10 minutes. The Li Auto L6 extended-range model features a 36.8 kWh battery with a pure electric range of approximately 212 km and a similar comprehensive range of over 1,200 km. While both utilize extended-range technology to alleviate range anxiety, the Avatr 07 boasts a longer pure electric range and a distinct advantage in ultra-fast charging technology.

"The emergence of the Avatr 07 is not merely about following an existing track; it leverages Huawei's full-stack intelligence and emotional design to allow users to experience true intelligent luxury mobility." — Su Yan, Intelligent Automotive Observer

Stepping into the Avatr 07’s cockpit, the wrap-around cabin and sporty seats immediately establish a premium atmosphere. The steering wheel offers a solid grip, with weighting that is moderate yet slightly heavy, ensuring precise directionality. In urban conditions, the chassis—comprising a front double-wishbone and rear multi-link independent suspension with standard CDC (Continuous Damping Control) variable dampers—strikes a balance between comfort and support. It filters out road imperfections effectively, handling speed bumps with soft suspension movements and stable body posture. At highway cruising speeds, the vehicle exhibits strong stability, with wind and road noise isolation reaching leading levels in its class.

The Li Auto L6’s chassis tuning prioritizes comfort even further. Utilizing a front double-wishbone and rear five-link suspension, also with standard CDC, its overall character is softer, filtering bumps more thoroughly for a superior sense of passenger ease. However, during fast cornering, body roll is slightly more pronounced than in the Avatr 07, reflecting its dedication to "steady comfort."

The Avatr 07 delivers precise steering and agile front-end response, controlling body roll well during rapid cornering, thereby offering a degree of driving enjoyment. In Sport mode, power delivery becomes even more eager. Conversely, the Li Auto L6 features lighter steering with slightly more play, adhering strictly to a comfort-oriented philosophy where driving fun is not the primary focus.

In terms of braking, the Avatr 07 is equipped with a high-performance system providing linear and powerful pedal feel, achieving a measured 100–0 km/h braking distance of approximately 36.5 meters. The Li Auto L6 also offers linear braking, with a tested distance of around 37.8 meters.

The interior design of the Avatr 07 revolves around the core concept of "Emotional Intelligence." The visual focal point is formed by a 35.4-inch 4K panoramic wide screen coupled with a 15.6-inch floating central control screen. Powered by the Huawei HarmonyOS 4 intelligent cockpit, the system offers top-tier fluidity, supporting seamless device handover, gesture control, facial recognition, and a rich application ecosystem. The uniquely shaped steering wheel ensures comfortable handling. Seats are upholstered in Nappa leather with soft filling and excellent support; the front seats feature ventilation, heating, and massage functions.

The Li Auto L6’s interior is built around the concept of "Family Warmth." It features a 15.7-inch central screen alongside a passenger entertainment screen, driven by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip, ensuring outstanding smoothness. The cabin utilizes extensive soft-touch materials for a high-quality feel. The distinction lies in their intent: the Avatr 07’s interior serves "emotional intelligence and design aesthetics," whereas the Li Auto L6’s interior caters to "family warmth and practicality."

Regarding intelligent driver assistance, the Avatr 07 is equipped with the Huawei ADS 3.0 advanced system, featuring a 192-line LiDAR, three millimeter-wave radars, and 11 cameras. It supports full-scenario capabilities including Highway NCA, Urban NCA, and AVP valet parking, setting an industry benchmark. The Li Auto L6 utilizes the Li Auto AD Max system, also equipped with LiDAR and comprehensive coverage. While its performance is excellent, Huawei’s ADS holds a slight edge in the maturity of urban autonomous driving.

"Sitting in the Avatr 07’s cabin, one feels the technological shock brought by emotional intelligence; sitting in the Li Auto L6, one feels the comfort and reassurance of family warmth." — Li Xiang, Editor-in-Chief, Zhijia Pai

As a mid-size SUV, the Avatr 07 offers space performance that meets mainstream segment standards. With a wheelbase of 2,940 mm, the rear legroom provides over two fists of space for a passenger standing 180 cm tall, with ample headroom. The trunk is regular and spacious, complemented by an additional frunk for extra storage.

The Li Auto L6, with a 2,920 mm wheelbase, offers comparable rear legroom and slightly better headroom. Its trunk is equally regular and practical. Both vehicles tie in terms of spatial utility, though the Li Auto L6 edges ahead in rear seat comfort.

In storage design, the Avatr 07 provides sufficient volume in door panels, center console cup holders, and the armrest box, with a reasonably positioned wireless charging pad. The Li Auto L6 is renowned for its ingenious storage solutions, featuring thoughtful details like the hollowed-out design beneath the center console and well-sized door pockets. Their approaches differ: the Avatr 07 excels in "sufficiency," while the Li Auto L6 wins on "ingenuity." This competition represents a direct dialogue between the "Intelligent Pioneer" and the "Family Comfort" factions. Choosing the Avatr 07 signifies a willingness to pay a premium for top-tier autonomous driving and design; opting for the Li Auto L6 indicates that family practicality and anxiety-free experience are the top priorities.
