Chinese premium electric-vehicle brand AVATR plans to enter Europe in 2027, starting in Norway and Spain. The company says the AVATR 06T shooting brake and 07L SUV will be among its first European models, as part of a plan to introduce six models across the region over the next three years.
AVATR announced its European expansion in Paris on October 11, 2026. European pricing, market-specific specifications and exact dealership arrival dates have not yet been disclosed.
Norway and Spain to lead European expansion
The AVATR 06T and 07L are planned for the initial European rollout. AVATR identifies the 06T as a shooting-brake model and the 07L as an SUV. Over the next three years, the company plans to introduce six models across the mid-size SUV, large SUV and shooting-brake segments.
In Norway, AVATR has partnered with automotive importer RSA. The initial plan includes two flagship locations in Oslo and experience centres in other major cities. AVATR says the wider network will draw on RSA’s existing distribution resources.
For Spain and other European markets, AVATR says it is selecting local distributors and partners. The announcement does not name a Spanish distributor or provide details of its planned retail network.
Service network and local support
AVATR says it plans to develop a European service network with local dealers and service partners. Its proposed service approach includes factory training and certification, remote technical support, spare-parts logistics, repairs, roadside assistance, battery inspection and recycling.
The company has not provided a timetable for establishing the service network or named partners outside the RSA agreement in Norway.
Global design and technology partnerships
AVATR says its global business system draws on Changan Automobile’s vehicle manufacturing capabilities, CATL’s battery technology and the intelligent research and development capabilities of a leading ICT company. The European expansion announcement does not name that ICT partner or provide technical specifications for the European models.
