Avatr has launched the right-hand drive version of the Avatr 11 in Thailand at a starting price of around $62,860, with deliveries set to begin in November.

Changan's German subsidiary has been registered, marking another step in its "Vast Ocean" plan.

Deepal signed a strategic partnership agreement with UAE auto dealership group Al Tayer Motors on September 2 to jointly offer Deepal's products in the Middle Eastern country.

The Avatr 012 is Avatr's second limited-edition model, based on the Avatr 12 electric sedan with different features to emphasize its more premium positioning.

Avatr has unveiled an extended-range system called Kunlun, which will first be used in the Avatr 07 SUV.

The Avatr 012 is expected to be based on the Avatr 12 electric sedan to target fashion-conscious potential customers.

The Deepal S07 SUV, available in EREV and BEV variants, replaces the S7 to better align with the company's global strategy.

Previously, 90 percent of Avatr's stores have been converted from directly-managed stores to dealerships, with only a few directly-managed stores remaining in a few cities.

Avatr will enter more than 40 countries in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, aiming to open more than 90 officially authorized stores and will also enter the European market, it said.

Similar to some other hardcore SUVs, the Deepal G318 has a boxy exterior design and is expected to compete with BYD Fang Cheng Bao's Bao 5.
