Market Positioning & Rivals
Positioned as a “tech-forward coupe”, the Avatr 06 targets three group of users, 1) young elites pursuing personality, 2) Huawei loyalists and 3) families seeking a second car. It rivals with the Zeekr 007 and Xiaomi SU7 with its competitive price and Huawei’s techniques.
Sales Momentum
Yesterday, Avatr released its March sales performance with a monthly delivery of 10,475 units, up 100% YoY as well as MoM. The key events in March will be that the flagship Avatr 012 (RMB 700,000) began deliveries, and the Avatr 07 SUV secured a monthly sale exceeding 10,000 units. With its impressive pre-orders, we assume that the 06’s arrival may further boost its sales in the near future.
