Avatr has revealed the 06T, a shooting brake wagon with up to 955 hp and the option of a range extender. In a market where wagons are dying everywhere else, China keeps building them.
The 06T shares its platform with the Avatr 06 sedan and measures 4,940 mm long, 1,960 mm wide, and 1,475 mm tall on a 2,940 mm wheelbase. The wagon body addresses the sedan's awkward proportions at the rear, trading a truncated trunk for a long, sloping roofline that actually works. Avatr showed it in a color called "Liujin Orange."
Three Electric Powertrains, One EREV
The pure-electric lineup starts with a rear-wheel-drive model running two 302 hp (225 kW) motors on an 89.33 kWh battery. Step up to the RWD Performance variant and each motor produces 337 hp (251 kW). The range-topping AWD version adds a 282 hp (210 kW) front motor to those twin 337 hp rears, totaling 955 hp (712 kW). All variants are electronically limited to 240 km/h.
Then there's the range-extender. A 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder producing 154 hp (115 kW) acts solely as a generator, feeding two rear electric motors rated at 248 hp (185 kW) each. Battery capacity and range for the EREV haven't been announced yet.
Why a Wagon?
The simple answer: wagons still sell in China, and Chinese manufacturers don't have to justify a business case to the same SUV-obsessed marketing teams that killed them in Europe and North America. The Avatr 06 sedan already exists. Stretching the roof adds minimal tooling cost and creates a vehicle that stands out in a market drowning in identical crossovers.
At 955 hp in its strongest configuration, the 06T outpaces a Porsche Taycan Turbo S on paper, at a fraction of the expected cost. Whether anyone needs that much output in a wagon is beside the point. The Chinese EV market competes on spec sheets, and 955 hp makes for a compelling line item.
Pricing and market availability remain unannounced. Expect a China-first launch followed by selective export markets later in the year.
