When it comes to technical endorsement, Avita should be the strongest among all the new car - making forces at present. This new brand, jointly created by Changan, Huawei, and CATL, brings together a traditional car - maker, a high - tech Internet company, and the most core battery supplier for electric vehicles.
Before this car was unveiled at the Chongqing Auto Show, we got an opportunity to experience it in advance. Since the manufacturer said that the version we experienced was still a pre - production vehicle, the assembly process and some functions might differ from the mass - produced version, so the evaluation here only applies to this pre - production vehicle.
First, let's talk about the appearance. Looking at the pictures of the Avita 11, you might think its appearance is a bit strange, but the actual car is really amazing. The front face has a strong sense of the future, the side shows a typical coupe - SUV style, and the rear design is also very distinctive. Overall, the appearance has a very high recognition rate.
The same goes for the interior. Although there are also three screens, the designer has come up with some tricks. The small screens on both sides are in an embedded design, and there is a clear area division from the steering wheel and the central control large screen.
The space performance is at the mainstream level of this segment. In the 5 - seat version, the rear row won't make people feel crowded even when it's fully occupied by three people. The overall space performance is quite good, especially considering its very unique exterior design.
The power is really impressive. It is equipped with high - power dual motors provided by Huawei. During our test drive, we felt that its power output was on par with that of the high - performance version of Tesla. The overall power response is extremely fast. The more you step on the accelerator pedal, the more direct the push - back feeling.
The overall handling is also commendable. It uses a special steering wheel. Since the number of turns of the steering wheel is very small and the front of the car responds very actively to steering, the Avita 11 drives very nimbly. The performance of the chassis is also a pleasant surprise. The front double - wishbone and rear multi - link structure is inherently sporty, and combined with a high - level overall tuning, driving it is really a bit of a pleasure.
Of course, what really sets the Avita 11 apart from other cars is its intelligent driving assistance system. There is one lidar on each side of the front of the car and the front fenders respectively. Coupled with a high - computing - power intelligent driving chip, it can autonomously complete most of the driving tasks.
Currently, the price of the Avita 11 has not been announced. If it can have a reasonable price, I believe it will have a very good performance in terms of sales.
