Speaking of the word far ahead, we have to mention Changan, Huawei and CATL jointly built AVATR 12, before its official release, it has a very high popularity, consumers are also full of expectations, it can be said to be one of the most popular models this year, and the number of orders after the release also quickly exceeded 20,000 units. That also has to be hot, AVATR 12 for an in-depth test drive, and in Chongqing urban area for the battery life of the photoelectric test, a total of about 600 kilometers, including 50% of urban roads + 50% of urban expressways, today to share the overall car experience, see where it is far ahead?Advanced exterior design, it is really amazing that the car is first of all to look at the appearance, AVATR 12 The first attraction is definitely this futuristic design, when I saw the real car at first glance, it was indeed amazed by it. And during our entire test drive, whether driving on the road or parking, it will attract a lot of attention and take pictures and discuss, which can be seen that consumers are interested in it. 
AVATR 12 is positioned as a medium and large coupe, and the official statement is that it adopts the overall design concept of "future elegance", which is not like a product of this era. 
The new car also uses the latest electronic exterior mirrors, and the rear also uses a hatchback design without rear portholes, and the rear windshield and roof rear are integrated structure, which is also very new now. 
In my opinion, the whole vehicle design is very advanced, so that it can stand out in today's cookie-cutter car market, and AVATR really has its own ideas in it. Luxurious and comfortable cockpit, setting a new benchmark in the industry, when you enter the interior, the first thing you see is 35The 4-inch 4K integrated remote screen shows the speed, power, time and other information, which has a sense of technology in a movie. The round rectangular steering wheel also reduces occlusion and prevents the information displayed from being lost. 
Plus 15The 6-inch Huawei smart central control screen is linked to it, equipped with a HarmonyOS 4 HarmonyOS cockpit developed, and the smoothness of the car machine is very silky when used, which is worthy of Huawei's business. 
So here's the point, AVATR 12 uses the industry-leading electronic exterior mirror, which is displayed in two screens under the A-pillar in the car. In fact, as early as more than 30 years ago, the concept of electronic exterior mirrors appeared, and since then, the regulations of various countries have gradually opened up this technology, and it is only this year that it can be used. Then I use it as a whole, I can find that this is really easy to use, first of all, its field of view area is large enough, basically there are no blind spots, and I can see clearly, and the response is also zero delay. 
At night, it will also have a brightening effect, and for me, a person with poor eyesight, I can see more clearly in the rearview mirror when driving at night. However, it does take some getting used to, as the screen is positioned more forward than in the traditional mirror. Of course, don't worry if you don't like it, this is optional. As a new thing, I think that electronic exterior mirrors will gradually become popular due to their unique advantages. 
At present, the penetration rate of intelligent driving of passenger cars in China is between 30% and 40%, and it is in the transition stage from L2 to L3, and will continue to make breakthroughs with core technologies in the future. Another highlight of the AVATR 12 is its intelligent driving performance. The whole system is equipped with three lidars as standard, with a total of 29 cameras and radars, which is expensive and enough to see that the manufacturer has made a lot of money. Huawei's latest ADS 20 intelligent driving system, which can achieve high-level high-speed and urban intelligent driving without relying on high-precision maps. 
In the overall use, it accurately models and calculates the surrounding intersections, vehicles and pedestrians, and changes lanes by turning on its own lights to overtake. The overall decision-making and calculation are very accurate, and when passing through a complex intersection with many cars, it can stop and give way in time, and even the electric car that suddenly jumps out can be predicted in advance, and there is no negligence in safety. When driving on the expressway, it is also very easy, basically all the operations do not need to be carried out by themselves, and it will not be so tiring when driving long distances, which brings convenience, which is basically the top level of the current intelligent driving system. Taking into account performance and comfort In today's new energy car companies, a large number of new energy vehicle companies blindly pursue speed and performance, but ignore the comfortable experience of driving, while AVATR 12 is well integrated. 
The model we tested was the 700 three-laser rear-wheel drive luxury version, with a single motor in the rear, a maximum power of 230kw, a peak torque of 370N·m, and a 000 acceleration of 67 seconds, while the 4WD version has a 000 acceleration time of 39 seconds. The overall acceleration experience will not look very irritable, step on the accelerator deeply, and the instant feeling will still tend to be soft, bringing comfort to the car, and in the rear section, the overall acceleration will become stronger. In other words, although it is powerful, it does not give an obtrusive feeling to the passengers in the car. Nowadays, more and more car companies are rolling up the speed and repeatedly emphasizing how fast their products are, but acceleration is really nothing for electric cars. For ordinary people, it will only make the cost higher, there are not many actual use scenarios, and it is not necessary to race off the track every day, so I think AVATR 12, which can bring comfort and is completely sufficient for daily use, is more suitable for ordinary people. 
The chassis adopts a front double wishbone and a rear multi-link independent suspension, which is very smooth to ride. When passing over protruding roads and speed bumps, the overall filtration is excellent, you don't feel too many bumps, and the side support of the suspension is also sufficient, so there is no excessive sway and roll when cornering, bringing linear handling while highlighting the overall comfort.
With a high endurance of 700 kilometers and a reach rate of over 90%, CATL, which provides battery technology for AVATR 12, has industry-leading ternary lithium battery technology and is the world's largest manufacturer of power batteries. Based on the 2022 performance, CATL CATL is 270GWh, with a market share of 391%, which can be said to be half of the global battery market today. The 700 Tri-Laser RWD Deluxe Edition we tested was equipped with the CATL 94The 5-degree battery pack has a CLTC pure electric range of 700 km. In addition, we have also carried out a photoelectric test on its battery life, in order to prevent the trailer from running out, and finally after actually driving 595 kilometers (50% urban roads + 50% urban expressways), there is still 50 kilometers of battery life left, which is equivalent to 650 kilometers consumed, so that its battery life achievement rate is 91%. If the electricity is completely run, it is expected to be able to run more than 630 kilometers.
It can be seen that with the blessing of CATL, the overall performance of AVATR 12 battery life is still very good, for a large-size car weighing more than two tons, the energy consumption performance is not inferior to those smaller cars, so whether it is urban traffic or long-distance travel, it can cope with it freely. In addition, AVATR 12 also has a four-wheel drive version with a range of 650 kilometers, although it is faster, but I think it is not worth spending more money to buy speed, and the range is less, so you have to choose from your own needs.
Since the beginning of this year, more and more car companies have been emphasizing their own 800V platforms, which has also become the direction of today. Although AVATR 12 officially claims to be a 750V platform and does not reach 800V, the 800V high-voltage platform generally refers to a range, and similar ones can be called 800V high-voltage platforms. The 750V of AVATR 12 is also an 800V high-voltage platform, but it is more rigorous.
In the actual charging, it took 50 minutes to charge 7% to 100%, and since the charging pile we found has a maximum power of 180kw, and AVATR 12 supports a maximum of 240kw, this is not its fastest charging time, but for a battery of more than 90 degrees, it is already very fast. Written at the end: In general, whether it is in terms of design or intelligence, AVATR 12 has the strength of being far ahead, and the attributes of the three electric vehicles should not be underestimated. If you don't know which configuration to buy, I think that for ordinary users who have no speed needs, the rear-wheel drive version is completely sufficient, and the battery life is more than the four-wheel drive version, and it is cheaper. In today's highly competitive new energy vehicle market, AVATR has created a new benchmark in the industry with its unique highlights and a style that is different from most other products, injecting more vitality into the current aesthetic fatigue.
