AVATR 07 Receives Vehicle Type Approval in Russia

On August 24, Changan announced that its luxury brand AVATR had received official vehicle type approval (VTA) for the AVATR 07 hybrid crossover, completing the final regulatory step ahead of its launch in Russia. The approval clears the vehicle for the next stage of its market introduction and confirms that the AVATR 07 has completed the required regulatory process. The model is positioned as a range-extender electric vehicle (REEV), combining electric propulsion with a range-extender engine and offering buyers a choice between rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations.

AVATR 07 Dimensions and Powertrain

The AVATR 07 measures 4,825 mm in length, 1,980 mm in width and 1,620 mm in height, with a 2,940 mm wheelbase. The crossover will be offered as a range-extender electric vehicle and will be available in both RWD and AWD versions. Its powertrain uses a 39.05 kWh battery supplied by CATL together with a 1.5-liter range-extender engine. This configuration enables the vehicle to operate with electric driving capability while retaining an engine-based range-extending system for longer-distance travel, giving the model a combination of electric range and extended total driving range.

RWD and AWD Versions Deliver Different Range Figures

The RWD version of the AVATR 07 produces 231 kW, equivalent to 314 hp, and offers an electric range of up to 207 km and a total range of 932 km. The AWD version increases output to 369 kW, or 502 hp, while providing an electric range of up to 197 km and a total range of 900 km. The specifications give customers different performance and drivetrain options while maintaining extended total-range capability. The RWD model provides the higher stated electric and total range figures, while the AWD version delivers substantially greater power for buyers prioritizing performance and all-wheel-drive capability.

Russia Launch Moves Into Final Stage

With official vehicle type approval completed, the AVATR 07 has cleared the final regulatory requirement identified ahead of its launch in Russia. The approval represents an important step for Changan and its luxury AVATR brand as the crossover moves toward market introduction. The model combines a 39.05 kWh battery, a 1.5-liter range-extender engine and two drivetrain configurations, with the RWD and AWD versions offering different power and range characteristics.
