Sleek and elegant design
The main design elements of the Avatr 11 include its chiseled body panels, aerodynamic front fascia, and unique-looking vertical LED lights with split LED DRLs.
The side profile is equipped with a sloping roof design, big chunky dual-tone alloy wheels (20- and 21-inch option), and flush-type door handles; giving it a clean look.
The rear design of the Avatr 11 looks like a sports car. It gets a slanting roof that merges into a curvy boot lid with a sleek connecting LED light. The small windscreen and upright boot are the highlights of its outlook from the rear.
Minimalistic interiors and smart features
Following the exterior design pattern, the cabin layout of the Avatr 11 is equally subtle. Its dashboard design is unique with a big 15.6-inch infotainment screen in the center and a digital cockpit for the driver. The light colour theme and fewer physical buttons enhance the futuristic appeal of the Avatr 11. It also comes equipped with a 27-speaker music system.
Additionally, it offers smart and latest wireless features like AI-assisted infotainment, wireless mobile connectivity, in-built navigation and entertainment apps, voice-assist features, electric seats with memory function and ventilation/heating options, rear AC, dual-zone climate control, and more.

However, the first battery option is rated for 555 km of range while the latter can drive up to 680 km on a single charge.

Avatr 12 electric sedan UAE details
Based on the Avatr 11, the Avatr 12 is an electric crossover sedan that aims at more comfort and performance.
Sleek crossover sedan design
The Avatr 12 looks like it came out of the future. While its primary design bits look identical to the Avatr 11, the stretched side profile and the low-slung stance give it away. Also, the front fascia has a more 'smiling factor' to it; all thanks to the big aerodynamic grille and different split LED lights.
The side profile looks Porsche-ish as it gives the Porsche Panamera vibes with its bold rear quarter design. The optional 21-inch wheels also look fabulous on the Avatr 12.
Meanwhile, the rear design is truly elegant as it does not get a connected LED light strip, but, it has sleek taillights, a sloping roof, and an upright boot lid design; all of it makes it look appealing.
Interiors and features
The interior design of the Avatr 12 is nearly identical to the Avatr 11. The only noticeable thing is the space and luxury that has increased on it. Due to the stretched chassis, the more legroom has turned into better cabin space on the inside. This has helped in gaining oodles of space for the rear passengers. As it is sold with a 4-seat option only, the Avatr 12 has a completely luxurious cabin layout and space management. It also has a few distinctive elements like a different steering wheel with sharp double D-cuts, a light beige leather upholstery and cabin theme, and brushed aluminum highlights.
Battery, range, and performance
The Avatr 12 electric sedan is also offered with the same battery pack options as the Avatr 11. It features a similar driving range as well but its performance is slightly better than its counterpart because of its low ground clearance and low center of gravity. The rated top speed of the Avatr 12 is 220 km/h and it can do 0-100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds for the 578 bhp AWD variant. Meanwhile, the RWD variant with its 313 bhp can reach a top speed of 200 km/h and it can do 0-100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds.
The driving range of the Avatr 12 is rated between 650km - 750 km per charge, depending on the variant chosen.
