BEIJING, China – Recent spy shots of Avatr’s upcoming flagship SUV, internally codenamed G618, have surfaced online, offering a first look at the brand’s most ambitious model to date. Positioned in the “million-yuan” ($140,000+) luxury segment, the G618 is built on the advanced SDA Central Loop Network Architecture and is expected to debut later this year.
Design: “Oriental Aesthetic” with a Bold Stance
Despite the heavy camouflage, several distinct design features are visible:
- Unique Hood Design: The vehicle features an exceptionally large clamshell-style hood that extends to the very edge of the front fascia, distinguishing it from current Avatr models.
- Concept DNA: Industry insiders suggest the G618 will heavily incorporate the design language of the Avatr VISION XPECTRA concept car.
- Profile & Stance: The SUV sports massive multi-spoke wheels, flush pop-out door handles, and a more squared-off window silhouette, giving it a stable and commanding presence on the road.
- Tech Clues: While this early prototype lacks a roof-mounted LiDAR, production versions are expected to feature Huawei’s latest high-level intelligent driving suite.
Interior & Layout
Aiming for the ultra-luxury market, the G618 will feature a 2+2+2 six-seat configuration. The cabin is expected to focus on “first-class” comfort, utilizing premium materials and high-end tech integration to compete with top-tier European and domestic luxury SUVs.
Performance: 1,200km Comprehensive Range
The G618 will offer versatility through dual powertrain options:
- Extended Range (EREV): Expected to deliver a total comprehensive range of 1,200 km, catering to users with long-distance travel needs.
- Battery Electric (BEV): Targeted to achieve a CLTC range of 800 km, likely supported by CATL’s latest high-energy-density battery technology
