Editor’s comment Whenever someone says that Chinese cars lack original design, I usually suggest they take a look at Li Auto’s Mega and i-series, Nio’s Firefly, or any of Avatr’s models. Avatr has its own unique design language, though unique design alone doesn’t seem to do much for sales: in August, it sold 8,082 units, a year-on-year drop of 19.7%. I wonder if this is why it has abandoned its own design language, the T09 somehow looks like BYD’s Yangwang U8. The design sketch and official photo of Avatr 07L. Most important news in your inbox.
