Chinese brand Avatr has confirmed the 06T electric sports wagon will launch in Australia in the second half of 2027.

Chinese newcomer Avatr has confirmed the 06T electric sports wagon for Australia in the second half of 2027, making it the brand's second model launch locally after the 07L SUV, due in the first half of 2027. Andrew Haurissa, head of brand and marketing at Avatr Australia, said the rollout will mirror the European market strategy.

Overseas versions of the 06T offer several configurations. The flagship Performance variant features up to three electric motors generating 712kW and 996Nm of torque. Mid- and high-spec models use an 87.3kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, while the base model pairs a 72.9kWh battery with dual motors producing 450kW and 750Nm. The smaller battery provides 620km of driving range on the NEDC cycle, with the larger unit delivering up to 710km.

Right-hand drive prototypes of the 06T have already been spotted around Sydney, confirming the model's development for the Australian market. The brand is positioning the wagon to compete in the premium mid-size estate segment against both Chinese and German luxury offerings.
