Huawei automotive technology partnerships and expansion

Overview

Huawei continues to expand its automotive footprint through strategic partnerships, focusing on luxury electric vehicles and international market entry. In September 2026, Avatr—a joint venture between Changan, Huawei, and CATL—confirmed that its Avatr 07L SUV is scheduled to enter the Australian market in the first half of 2027. The large electric SUV features 800-volt architecture and rapid-charging capabilities, with configurations ranging from single rear-wheel-drive to an all-wheel-drive tri-motor setup producing up to 712kW. Pre-orders are expected to open by the end of 2026. Furthering its global expansion, Avatr debuted the T09 concept at the Paris Motor Show. Positioned in the 500,000 RMB price segment, the high-end flagship SUV integrates Huawei’s intelligent driving and HarmonyOS technologies, featuring a hybrid powertrain with over 1,000 horsepower. In mid-September 2026, official certification details revealed the T09 will be available in plug-in hybrid (PHEV) configurations. A high-performance three-motor version is expected to pair a 2.0-liter turbo gasoline engine with a 180 kW front electric motor and two 225 kW rear electric motors, utilizing a 71.24 kWh CATL battery pack. The model is anticipated to feature the Huawei Qiankun ADS 5 autonomous driving architecture supported by four LiDAR sensors. In October 2026, Avatr’s European expansion efforts gained momentum. Following the T09 debut, the brand confirmed it will enter the Greek market in early 2027 via the Autohellas Group and will enter Serbia and the Western Balkans through Delta Auto Grupa, with the AVATR 06T and AVATR 07L models expected by the end of 2026. New details indicate the initial European launch will also target Norway and Spain. In Spain, Avatr aims to introduce six models over the next three years, with early arrivals like the 06T and 07L estimated to start around 56,000 euros.
