AVATR 12 Driven - Too Smart For Its Own Good

[@STALLIAN-td2eg]

This car is a million times better than a Tesla and it makes a lot of sense for South 🇿🇦Africa🎉❤

I tend to agree.

[@GallAnonim-jx2cz]

Tyen why nobody buys it?:) Tesla sells 100x better. Why? Because everyone in China knows Tesla is a trustable brand and Avatr will probably bankrupt 2-3 years later like many chinese companies and leave customers with zero support.

Your choice. Avatr 11 with electrical rear mirrors seems to be prepared, but is was never implemented nor sold. ​ ​At the end, it's only about your preferences/taste.

[@CasperChicago]

If China had factories in the US, that would force GM & Ford to get off their butts and start manufacturing EVs. GM nor Ford have a massed produced, US made EV on the market. The reclining seats in the Avatr are overkill, but it is a very nice EV and a worthy competitor to the Tesla.

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Absolutely. A smart US, not one obsessed with losing their title as world's largest economy, would invite the Chinese to partner with their car makers and build EVs in the States. But they won't do that until it's too late I suspect.

I like it, just don't like the rear without a window and the steering wheel, prefer the 11, same with Polestar prefer the 3 over the 4

[@InsideChinaAuto]

You'd be surprised how quickly you forget you don't have a rear window.

[@NiejakiDD]

Windowless rear, and electronic camera mirrors - these are my red lines crossed...🤷‍♂ Why it is problem - compared to natural view, the camera mirror cause more stress on the eye (due to frequency of the displayed view). Plus, these camera mirrors are quite ineffective - even dangerous - in dark conditions (and cause additional consumption of battery). Beside that, the car is looking really good. I like front "strip" panel.👈

[@InsideChinaAuto]

I've not been a fan of digital rear view cameras because the depth perception isn't easy to adapt to compared to a real mirror. This one felt better somehow but not perfect. But the one thing they have generally been good at is showing a wide view that's actually better at night. This one did feel a little limiting on width but I don't remember if it was any good at night.

[@mohamedghanem3854]

This car or su7 from Xiaomi?

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Tough choice. I mean I love sporty cars and the SU7 is definitely the sportier and more engaging of the two, but I love the 12 overall, the premium feel, the look (both at stunning), the GT feel. This one pulls at my heart strings so that's what I'd go for.

[@waynerm002]

I've liked the look of this car since I first saw photos of it. The ear seats looks like they should be comfortable but, as with most EVs, they seem to have designed it like an ICE first vehicle, with compromised space for feet and seating. The rear (really all) seats should be higher as well as the roof, to compensate for having the battery in the floor. This is more a design for looks, first and figure our passenger comfort second, sort of vehicle. It's a great looking car for sure.

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Agreed. Rear space is a bit crap. They will launch an EREV version of this at some point too so it's already a compromised EV. But it is stunning and I won't change my view on that.
