Vehicle model
Avatr Gamme Avatr - électrique/hybride
Avatr's entire range is electrified: the brand offers no conventional combustion-engine vehicle. The models exist in two main configurations: fully electric battery (BEV) or range-extended (REEV), a form of series hybrid where a small combustion engine serves only as a generator to recharge the battery, without directly driving the wheels. This dual approach aims to reassure buyers concerned about range or charging while keeping driving fully electric. In Quebec, these electrified powertrains require particular attention to winter tires, as the instant torque and the weight of the batteries put heavy demands on grip; mountain-snowflake-certified winter tires with the correct load index are essential, ideally mounted on a dedicated set of winter wheels.

Technologies, engines and platforms
Electric powertrains on the CHN platform, in BEV (battery only) or REEV (range extender with a generator engine) versions, CATL batteries in NMC or LFP chemistries, 800-volt architecture and fast charging on certain versions, smart energy management.
Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les véhicules Avatr sont des VUS et berlines de luxe haut de gamme, généralement chaussés de jantes de très grand diamètre, souvent de 20 à 22 pouces, avec des pneus larges à profil bas (par exemple des largeurs autour de 265 mm). Ces dimensions imposantes privilégient l'esthétique et la performance, mais offrent une réserve limitée pour absorber les nids-de-poule. Comme pour tout véhicule électrique lourd circulant au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués (pictogramme montagne-flocon) au bon indice de charge sont essentiels, et un second train de jantes hivernales, parfois d'un diamètre inférieur, peut faciliter l'usage saisonnier. Aucune dimension précise ne devrait être présumée sans vérifier la fiche du véhicule.
