Originally introduced on November 10, 2023, the Avatr 12 now introduces a new entry-level variant alongside maintaining the pricing of its existing models.

Notably, for the higher-tier models, Avatr is facilitating customers to offset a deposit of RMB 5000 yuan against the final payment of RMB 27,000 for purchases made before April 30.

This adjustment results in reduced starting prices of RMB 278,800, RMB 318,800, and RMB 378,800 for the respective premium models.
