Avatr 11: In the same class as the AITO M7, how strong is it? Watch to find out.

The recently unveiled 2025 avatr 11 has certainly attracted the attention of many automotive enthusiasts and potential consumers. As the heavyweight model under the avatr brand, it is available in both pure electric and extended range power options, covering a range of price points from $279,900 to $429,900 for several versions, with the Ultra rear-drive pure electric version at a Guided Price of $339,900 attracting even more attention. The Ultra rear-drive pure electric version with a Guided Price of 339,900 yuan has attracted even more attention. Haruno had the honour to test drive this highly anticipated model, and wanted to explore whether it could compete with rivals such as the M7 in the highly competitive market.

Firstly, let's start our exploration with the dimensions of the Avatr 11. The car measures 4895mm in length, 1970mm in width and 1601mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2975mm.This set of figures not only ensures spaciousness inside the car, but also greatly enhances the comfort of the ride. In daily use on long journeys or city commutes, the spaciousness of the interior allows passengers to feel good comfort. Especially when moving around the car, the designers cleverly planned several storage spaces, such as the armrest box and front and rear door panel storage compartments, etc. These details make the daily car experience more convenient. It is worth mentioning that the boot capacity of 490L provides ample support for family trips or short trips, and loading a few large suitcases is not a problem at all.

From the exterior, Avatr 11 displays a strong sense of modernity. The closed front design is in line with the style of today's new energy vehicles, and the overall appearance is both simple and atmospheric. The split headlight design enhances the recognition of the whole vehicle, especially at night, the LED light source not only provides good lighting effect, but also has a variety of modes, which can be adapted to different road conditions, thus enhancing driving safety. In addition, the brightly illuminated logo adds a sense of technology to the entire car, making the Avita 11 full of futuristic design.

Observed along the side, the lines of avatr 11 are smooth and full, with the sliding roof design and thick body proportions displaying an excellent sense of co-ordination. This design not only enhances the visual aesthetics of the car, but also effectively reduces the wind resistance coefficient, thus further improving the range. In addition, configurations such as electric suction doors and intelligent sensor power doors also make the vehicle more convenient for daily use. In comparison, the appearance of the Ask M7 is slightly more square, and although it carries an impression of calmness and atmosphere, it is not as eye-catching as the Avita 11 in terms of modernity and fashion.

Getting inside, the avatr 11's interior really impresses. The overall style is smooth and luxurious, well laid out and easy to operate. The large amount of soft materials and leather wrapping in the cabin not only enhances the sense of quality, but also makes the whole cabin look delicate and comfortable to touch. 10.25-inch LCD gauges and 15.6-inch floating central control screen, with a very clear display and vivid colours, not only enhances the sense of technology, but also enhances the fun of driving. The centre control screen supports multi-touch and voice control, which is very responsive and users can feel great convenience in daily operation.

In terms of intelligent configuration, avatr 11 is equipped with the HarmonyOS system that perfectly supports 5G communication networks, which is certainly an attractive highlight for young people who love digital life. It supports a variety of human-machine interaction methods such as gesture control and facial recognition, which enhances the interactive experience between humans and cars. The rich ecosystem of applications integrated in the car, such as navigation, music, video and so on, covers almost all kinds of users' needs. What's more, it is worth mentioning that the equipped British Zhibao sound system has a power of 2016W and carries 25 speakers, which brings the driver and passenger an almost professional concert sound experience.

Compared to the AITO M7, the avatr 11 appears to be superior in terms of luxury features and detailing, which is particularly evident in terms of intelligence and comfort. While the AITO M7 doesn't fail to shine in some areas, the avatr 11 clearly puts more effort into these areas and achieves even better results.

In the market for smart cars, the avatr 11 attracts as much attention as the Aito M7 and Lixiang L7, especially when it comes to the Smart Driving technology that makes the avatr 11 come to life. Powered by Huawei, the vehicle is not only equipped with the HUAWEI ADS Smart Driving System, but also three additional LIDARs, making it very comprehensive in terms of smart driving features. The vehicle can achieve regular Smart Driving navigation, and even full self-driving during the process of entering and exiting a parking space. Imagine the driver being able to activate the autopilot function when getting into the car without having to take over the vehicle when getting out, leaving great convenience for lazy people. In addition, the avatr 11 is equipped with CAS 3.0 All-Way Collision Avoidance System, which provides intelligent warning and dynamic braking capabilities to significantly reduce the risk of unexpected accidents.

Not only does the avatr 11 excel at the smart-driving level, the cabin experience of the avatr 11 is equally refreshing. The Hongmeng system equipped in the car implements a series of intelligent functions through the 15.6-inch centre control screen, including satellite navigation, facial recognition and voice commands, which greatly enhances the convenience of driving. Moreover, the system supports gesture control and multi-touch operation, plus the configuration of the SD card slot, which makes it more convenient to use the car's independent networking, and users can enjoy a better in-car entertainment experience. In the passenger seat, equipped with 10.25-inch entertainment screen also provides members of the car with rich audio-visual enjoyment, whether watching films or listening to music at will.

In terms of power configuration, the avatr 11's options are free from a single limitation, and in addition to the range-extended version, it is also available in an excellent pure electric model. The extended-range version utilises the Kunlun range-extending system with a 1.5T hybrid engine and 314hp rear-mounted electric motor to accelerate from 0-100km/h in 6.9 seconds and reach a combined range of 1,065km, which effectively alleviates the driver's mileage anxiety. In the pure electric version, the base model is equipped with a 322 hp rear motor, accelerating to 100km/h in 6.5 seconds, with a pure electric range of up to 815 kilometres; while the high-performance version is fitted with 547 hp front and rear dual motors, with a 0-100 acceleration time as short as 3.9 seconds, entering the ‘3-second club’, which can satisfy drivers in terms of both roaring power and driving pleasure. Whether it's the roaring power or the thrill of driving, it's all satisfying.

Fast charging capability is also a major highlight of avatr 11, the pure electric model is equipped with 800V silicon carbide fast charging platform, the fastest can be filled with more than 400 kilometres of range in just 0.42 hours, long distance travel no longer have to worry about range.

During the test drive, Haruno deeply experienced the smoothness of avatr 11. The car is quite stable at the start, and there is no feeling of jolting at all. The independent suspension of the front double-wishbone and rear multi-link performed very calmly when encountering bumpy roads, and the kinetic energy recovery was set low, so the cabin was not easy to produce the discomfort of motion sickness. In addition, the application of Huawei DriveONE iTRACK real-time road sensing technology enables the system to sense changes in road conditions at the microsecond level. For example, when entering a speed bump or uneven road surface, the system will instantly make torque adjustments, making the driving experience smoother.

Overall, this entire set of technological configurations makes the Avanta feel as stable as a mountain even when driving, with little or no outside interference to be felt. Compared to the Lixiang L7, the avatr 11 is clearly a step up in terms of smart technology and driving experience, although the latter has its strengths in smart driving and comfort as well. If you love technology and pursue comfortable driving, the Avita 11 may be the ideal choice for you.
