The Avatr 07 Will Change Your Mind On Chinese Cars

You probably haven't heard of Avatr, but their latest offering proves that they're already a force to be reckoned with. The Avatr 07 is a luxury all-electric compact SUV that is laden with tech. The Avatr brand is a joint venture between Chinese state-owned automaker Changan, China's answer to Apple, Huawei, and the world's leading battery manufacturer, CATL. Lifelong automotive journalist Sam D. Smith gets behind the wheel of the all-new Chinese EV, taking it for a drive around the city of Colombo, Sri Lanka. The Avatr 07 impresses with its minimalist interior, outstanding tech features, and unique design. But at LKR 35,500,000 ($107,000) — due to heavy taxation on Sri Lankan car imports — it needs to be special to win over buyers.
