AVATR 11 Electric

I have owned and driven mainly Continental cars over the years, with my previous car being a Mercedes GLE 450, so I was honestly quite unsure what to expect when I decided to move to the AVATR 11. After living with the car, I can say that I am genuinely very pleased with my decision. What impressed me most is how premium the AVATR feels as an overall package. The interior design, materials, technology and general sense of occasion are much better than I expected. It feels modern without simply throwing a huge screen into the cabin and calling it futuristic. The car also feels very solid and substantial on the road. Coming from a Mercedes GLE 450, I expected there would be things I would miss. Surprisingly, I honestly don't miss my previous car. The AVATR 11 is so smooth, quiet and effortless to drive that the transition has been much easier than I expected. The immediate power delivery suits Singapore driving extremely well, and for everyday use I actually prefer the overall driving experience of the AVATR 11. I also like that the AVATR does not look like every other SUV on the road. Even after owning it for some time, I still enjoy looking at it when I walk towards the car. The biggest compliment I can give it is this: after owning Continental cars for many years, I do not feel that I have downgraded by changing to the AVATR 11. In certain areas, particularly technology, cabin design and the overall EV experience, it actually feels like I have moved forward. If you are coming from a premium Continental car and are hesitant about making the move to a Chinese EV, I would strongly suggest experiencing the AVATR 11 yourself before judging it by the badge....

Came from a 528i and a GLC300 before this. Was initially skeptical about Chinese EVs, but the Avatr 11 changed my mind completely after test driving both the 07 and 11. Was also looking at Zeekr, Xpeng and IM but eventually booked the 11 Long Range before EV rebates drop again end of this year. Car is bigger than expected. 4.88m long, almost 2m wide, 2,975mm wheelbase. However it is actually manageable with the 360 cam. Design by Nader Faghihzadeh (ex-BMW). Does not look bulky because of its coupe shape. Build quality solid, heavy doors, panel gaps even, leather everywhere in interior. Meridian sound system is solid with great sound isolation on road. Don't think there's any better speakers in the <300K price range. Driven about 5000km. Long term consumption is 16.1kWh/100km in standard mode with low regen, which is much more efficient than Zeekr after comparing it to a friend's 7X with similar driving patterns. Getting >700km on a full charge. Many Avatr owners were previously driving conti cars, and I think we are in the early stages of a shift in how people perceive what Chinese luxury really is and people moving away from the traditional default "conti" choice....
