Fast electric wagon caught in right-hand drive

A right-hand drive version of the Avatr 06T has been spied in the UK, with the electric sports wagon now a firm chance for Australia.

Images posted on the Facebook group Rare And On The Road show Chinese premium brand Avatr has begun testing the 06T in other right-hand drive markets, with the model having been confirmed for Thailand in April 2026.

As reported in May 2026, Avatr has also been evaluating vehicles in Australia, with the 07 mid-size SUV caught on camera in the Melbourne suburb of Point Cook.

The Avatr brand falls under the umbrella of Chinese automotive giant Changan, which is planning to launch both it and its namesake brand on the Australian market.

The range-topping 06T Performance grade is said to produce as much as 712kW and 996Nm from its three electric motors – two on the rear axle and one on the front axle – being fed from an 87.3kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack.

Claimed figures have the all-wheel-drive 06T Performance completing the 0-100km/h sprint in 2.78 seconds, with a range of 710km based on the more lenient NEDC standard.

Below that is the rear-wheel-drive 06T Max, with dual electric motors putting out a combined 502kW and 750Nm, with an 87.3kWh battery allowing for a driving range of 710km (NEDC) and a claimed 0-100km/h time of 3.74 seconds.

The entry 06T Elite also uses two electric motors, together making 450kW and 750Nm, with a 72.8kWh battery and 620km of driving range (NEDC).

Avatr also offers a range-extender powertrain – known as an EREV – which adds a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine with a 45.1kWh battery, powering dual electric motors for a total system output of 370kW.

The EREV version has a total driving range of 1200km, and an electric-only range of 300km – both based on the NEDC test.

However, according to Autolife magazine, the 06T announced for the Thai market will only be available as an electric vehicle.

Avatr isn’t just focusing on straight-line speed, with the 06T featuring front double-wishbone suspension and multi-link rear suspension, hydraulic bushings, and adaptive shock absorbers in the Elite and Max variants. Meanwhile, the Performance gets air suspension.

Inside, there’s a 35.4-inch panoramic screen that spans the dashboard, incorporating the digital instrument cluster. On each side are 6.7-inch screens that act as the external side mirrors, with cameras fitted to the front power doors.
