AVATR T09: Chinese Flagship Luxury SUV Unveiled With 362-Element Grille, Six Seats And Triple Screens

Chinese luxury automaker AVATR is preparing to expand its flagship lineup with the new T09, a model previewed by the unveiling of the AVATR Concept T09 at the Paris Motor Show. First revealed in official images in September 2026, the T09 combines an imposing exterior design with advanced cabin technology and a plug-in hybrid powertrain.

The T09 measures 5,285 mm (5.29 metres) long, 2,025 mm wide and up to 1,820 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 3,150 mm. These dimensions give the large six-seat sport utility vehicle a substantial road presence while providing space for six occupants across three rows.

At the front, the SUV features a distinctive grille incorporating 362 AVATR logo elements designed to create changing light and shadow effects. A sculpted bonnet and integrated sensor housing further enhance its appearance and contribute to its distinctive front-end styling.

The T09 also features multi-layered crystal-style headlights with approximately 40,000 diamond-cut facets across both sides, matching crystal-array taillights, and aluminium detailing around the rear D-pillars that adds to its upscale appearance.

Inside, AVATR introduces what it calls the Vortex interaction system, a retractable feature designed to connect the digital interface with the physical cabin. It also features an integrated triple-screen display comprising a 10.25-inch instrument cluster and two 17.2-inch screens for the driver and front passenger.

Under the bonnet, the T09 is expected to offer a choice of 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engines paired with electric motors. The more powerful configuration combines a 2.0-litre engine with three electric motors, with a combined peak electric-motor output of 845 hp. Total system output has been reported at more than 1,000 hp.

The SUV is listed with a 71.24 kWh battery, with an estimated electric-only range of 300–330 km (186–205 miles) under the Chinese CLTC testing cycle. Its listed maximum speed is 220 km/h (137 mph), although final specifications and driving-range figures may vary by version.

Backed by Changan Automobile, Huawei and CATL, AVATR is positioning the T09 as a technology-focused luxury flagship. The Concept T09 showcases the brand’s design direction for the model, while the production-oriented T09 is expected to launch in China before the end of 2026. AVATR has yet to announce its pricing or confirm the final production specifications.
