　　On September 26, Avita 07, a smart urban SUV built by Avita Technology, was officially launched, after the model was successfully rolled off the production line at the Changan Digital Intelligence Factory.

　　According to Avita’s disclosure, the company delivered 36,400 vehicles in the first August of 2024. Previously, the company proposed to challenge the sales target of 100,000 vehicles again in 2024, but only 36.4% of the annual target was completed in the first August.

　　In terms of performance, in 2022, 2023 and the first half of 2024, Avita’s net profit was – 2.015 billion yuan, – 3.693 billion yuan and – 1.395 billion yuan respectively.

　　This also means that in the past two and a half years, Avita’s net profit has accumulated a loss of 7.103 billion yuan.

　　Not only that, as of the end of the first half of 2024, Avita’s total assets reached 12.746 billion yuan, net assets reached 706 million yuan, and the company’s debt ratio was as high as 94.46%.

　　The average monthly delivery is only about 4550 vehicles

　　On September 26, the Avita 07, a smart urban SUV built by Avita Technology, was officially launched after the model was successfully rolled off the production line at the Changan Digital Intelligence Factory. As a result, another member of the "Avita" family was added.

　　Avita Technology was founded in 2018. The company claims to be dedicated to exploring future-oriented humanized travel technologies and creating emotionally intelligent travel experiences for users.

　　In November 2021, Avita completed the first round of 2.42 billion yuan strategic financing, post-money valuation 788 million yuan, () participated in the shareholding of 28.99%, becoming the second largest shareholder.

　　In August 2022, Avita completed the 2.547 billion yuan A round of financing, () introduced China Merchants Group Capital, Weihao Chuangxin and other 6 war investment, after the financing is completed, Ningde era is still the second largest shareholder.

　　In August 2023, Avita received 3 billion yuan in B round financing, and investors included Changan Automobile, Southern Assets, etc. The post-money valuation was nearly 20 billion yuan.

　　After three rounds of financing, Avita’s total financing is close to 8 billion yuan.

　　In December 2022, CATL also signed a deepening strategic cooperation agreement with Arvita. The two sides will cooperate in lithium battery research and development, new material application and parts development for new energy vehicles, and build a battery supply system based on cutting-edge battery technology.

　　At the Guangzhou Auto Show on November 17, 2023, Avita made its debut on the same stage with its flagship models, Avita 11 and Avita 12, marking the official entry of Avita into the era of dual flagships.

　　It is reported that the new model will be equipped with Huawei’s high-end intelligent driving system HUAWEI ADS2.0.

　　Obviously, Avita has a high starting point. It was jointly built by Changan Automobile, Huawei, and Ningde Times. Zhu Huarong, chairperson of Changan Automobile, personally served as the chairperson of Avita.

　　According to the plan, Avita expects to achieve 100,000 sales targets in 2023. In fact, the company’s actual sales in 2023 are only 23,500, only 23.5% of the target.

　　Some industry insiders said that Avita takes the high-end route, and the price range is around 400,000 yuan, which is also one of the reasons for its "high and low".

　　2023 did not complete the plan, Avita 100,000 sales target extended to 2024.

　　According to the original plan of Changan Automobile, Avita Technology plans to complete the sales target of 90,000 vehicles in 2024.

　　The relevant person in charge of Avita revealed that after the compensation of the company’s management is linked to sales, the sales target in 2024 will be pressurized by an additional 10,000 vehicles. This means that Avita will once again challenge the sales target of 100,000 vehicles in 2024.

　　In March 2024, the 2024 Avita 12 was officially launched, and a total of four new models were launched.

　　Subsequently, Avita CEO Tan Benhong introduced that Avita 12 has a clear goal in the short term, and the average transaction price is expected to be about 350,000 yuan, and about 5,000 vehicles will be delivered per month.

　　Tan Benhong also publicly criticized some of his peers. He said that many new power companies are pursuing product variety, but ignoring product efficiency and investment efficiency. He pointed out that "we can see that the new power that has been doing it for a long time is only 10,000 or 15,000 vehicles per month, and seven or eight products (pure electric). I think the product efficiency and investment efficiency are worrying."

　　However, according to Avita’s disclosure, the company delivered 36,400 vehicles in the first August of 2024, only 36.4% of its annual target.

　　Apparently, the average monthly delivery of Avita is only about 4,550 vehicles.

　　Net worth 706 million

　　So, what about Avita’s product efficiency and investment efficiency?

　　According to the annual reports of Changan Automobile in 2022 and 2023, Avita’s operating income was 28.34 million yuan and 5.645 billion yuan respectively, and its net profit was 2.015 billion yuan and 3.693 billion yuan respectively.

　　In the 2024 semi-annual report, Changan Automobile introduced that Avita’s operating income reached 6.152 billion yuan and its net profit – 1.395 billion yuan.

　　This also means that in the past two and a half years, Avita’s net profit has accumulated a loss of 7.103 billion yuan.

　　Moreover, as of the end of the first half of 2024, Avita’s total assets reached 12.746 billion yuan, net assets reached 706 million yuan, and the company’s debt ratio was as high as 94.46%.

　　Chen Zhuo, president of Avita Technology, has announced that according to the requirements of the board of directors, Avita’s volume will increase three or four times this year, but the loss control must be consistent with the previous year, and strive to achieve break-even in the third and fourth quarters of 2025. This is the goal given by the board of directors.

　　 In terms of IPOs, Chen Zhuo said that Avita will actively strive for them. "From Avita’s perspective, the IPO is to solve the problem of financing sources, but we also want to improve the governance structure of the entire enterprise through the IPO, through the listing of certain management requirements, to make it more compliant and more standardized. This is our primary purpose."

　　At the same time, Chen Zhuo revealed that the valuation of Avita is now less than 20 billion yuan, "This year we will also do C round financing, which is expected to be completed in the second half of this year, which is relatively certain, so the specific time of IPO is not limited, and it is flexible to consider according to market conditions according to sales."

　　However, at present, there is no new news on Avita’s Series C financing, but the company has indeed made major moves.

　　In August 2024, Changan Automobile announced that Avita, a joint venture of the company, planned to buy 10% of the shares held by Huawei, and the transaction amount was 11.50 billion yuan.

　　Changan Automobile said that the company will use this transaction as an opportunity to comprehensively strengthen its strategic cooperation with Huawei and help Changan Automobile transform into an intelligent low-carbon travel technology company.

　　In 2023, Avita’s annual revenue is 5.645 billion yuan, and the investment scale is more than twice its revenue that year.

　　Furthermore, in terms of total assets, Avita needs to bring in external capital to complete the deal.

　　Zhu Huarong, chairperson of Changan Automobile and chairperson of Avita Technology, said: "The next three years will be a critical period for Avita to build a’new luxury first brand ‘. As a milestone leap, Avita has become the first company to invest in Huawei. The industry-leading’HI’ model has further upgraded the new model of’HI Plus’. CHN’s optimal resources will empower Avita, so as to promote Avita to achieve leapfrog development and make every effort to build a new luxury Avita that participates in world competition."

Under the trend of new energy, the wind brand has also brought its latest new energy model – the wind blue electric E5, which is also the first batch of models deeply equipped with Huawei Hicar 3.0 and will be launched in the first quarter of this year. At the same time, this car is also equipped with a hybrid system provided by BYD Freddy, with a comprehensive battery life of an astonishing 1150km. Next, let’s take a look at the highlights of this new car.

In terms of exterior design, the Landscape Blue Electric E5 adopts the latest family-style design language. The front face is shaped with an oversized air intake grille, and the interior is decorated with dot matrix elements. Officially, it is called a star dot matrix digital grille, and it is highly recognizable with skyline LED light strips.

The black chrome strip above the grille can clearly see the logo of the English letter "E", which presents the ecological meaning of the Internet of Everything through the artistic arrangement of nine dots, which complements the large-scale starlight dot matrix digital grille.

The sharp waistline of the side body is slightly raised upward, which enhances the power atmosphere. The chrome luggage rack on the roof, plus 19-inch low wind resistance design rims, perfectly interprets the sense of sports and fashion. The new car is positioned in a medium-sized SUV, and its body length, width and height are 4760/1865/1710mm, and the wheelbase length is 2785mm. The body height is more advantageous than that of the same class.

The layering of the rear of the Landscape Blue Electric E5 is outstanding. It adopts the current mainstream through-type taillight group design, and the LOGO logo is displayed above to improve the brand’s recognition. The large-sized spoiler at the D-pillar position, combined with the hidden exhaust layout below, is also in line with the design ideas of most hybrid and new energy models.

The interior design of the Landscape Blue Electric E5 adopts the current mainstream technology minimalist style, and the cockpit has a clear sense of hierarchy. In order to highlight the luxurious atmosphere, the new car is decorated with chrome-plated strips and wood grain style trims in the material, creating a strong sense of class.

At the same time, the new car is also equipped with a dual-format multi-function steering wheel and an integrated screen composed of a full-LCD instrument and a large-size central control screen, which is still very technological. In addition, one of the major selling points of the Landscape Blue Electric E5 is the Huawei HiCar 3.0 system, which is also equipped with a sound system composed of 12 speakers. The unique acoustic design realizes 360 ° full-scene surround sound, bringing users an immersive listening enjoyment.

The smart air purification function is also essential, with both PM2.5 sensors and negative ion generators, which are more popular configurations.

In order to ensure comfort, the Landscape Blue Electric E5 provides a full-body curved seat, providing better support for the body and providing maximum comfort for long-distance travel.

Thanks to the flexible and changeable "5 + 2 seat" space layout in the car, the front seats can be reclined 165 degrees backward, and the second and third rows of seats can also be laid flat, making it a super wide viewing room for outdoor leisure.

In terms of riding space, thanks to the flat roof design, the 1.80-meter-tall ride has the seat adjusted to the lowest level, and the front and second rows of head space can reach the margin of one punch. The third row of head and leg space is cramped, and if you want to leave room for the legs, you need to coordinate with the second row of seats.

After the rear seats are reclined, you can have an amazing 934L of trunk space, so you don’t have to worry about traveling with your baby. Even when the seats are fully used, the blue electric E5 trunk has a capacity of 187L, which can meet the basic practicality.

Recently, in the intelligent cockpit certification of the China Automotive Center, the Scenic Blue Electric E5 successfully passed the comprehensive test of 18 sub-items in the four dimensions of functionality, speed, convenience and intelligence of the vehicle’s in-vehicle voice interaction system, and obtained the A-level certificate of the in-vehicle voice assistant, becoming the second model to obtain this certification after the M5.

In terms of power system, the Wind Blue Electric E5 is equipped with a 1.5L high-efficiency plug-in hybrid special engine and a DHT300 electric hybrid system produced by Freddie Power. It has a 15.5:1 ultra-high compression ratio, a maximum thermal efficiency of 43.04%, and a maximum transmission efficiency of 97.5%. According to the official introduction, the new car’s 0-50km/h acceleration time is 2.9 seconds, and the WLTC comprehensive cruising range is as high as 1150km.

The new hybrid technology of Landscape Blue Electric E5 integrates fuel consumption, smooth handling, quiet driving, and fast speed, perfectly taking into account the main needs of users during driving. The fuel consumption of WLTC 100 kilometers feed is only 5.5L. Using EV mode at 60km/h, the noise in the car as low as 54.8 decibels can also make the driver feel luxurious and comfortable.

The blue electric E5 is also equipped with external discharge function, and its maximum external discharge power of 3.3kW is fully sufficient for outdoor camping, even if the outdoor electric hot pot and induction cooker are no problem.

The Wind Blue Electric E5 will also provide users with a new hybrid tram experience of "electric priority, electric drive mainly" under the technological innovation of the DE-i super electric drive intelligent platform of Cyrus Group.

With high recognition, efficient power, and no battery life anxiety, coupled with the blessing of Huawei and BYD technologies, it can be said that the product strength of the Scenic Blue Electric E5 is relatively comprehensive. If this car can be priced satisfactorily, I believe it will perform well in the market in the future.

For users who are eager to enjoy the driving experience of electric vehicles and want to put aside the worries of battery life, the launch of the Scenic Blue Electric E5 is undoubtedly another option for consumers. What do you think of this car? Express your opinion in the comment area.

Not only is the overall design sci-fi avant-garde, but the configuration performance is also quite excellent. Coupled with a sincere price, it is not surprising that it can achieve such dazzling results. For such a "popular" model for the household market, how is the practical performance of the Deep Blue SL03? This issue of the "Daily Practicality Test Report" will reveal the answer.

Test vehicle: 2022 dark blue SL03 515 pure electric version

The 2022 dark blue SL03 features an inductive unlock function, which automatically unlocks and extends a hidden door handle when the key is close to the vehicle. Get in the car and step on the brake pedal, hang it in D gear and drive directly.

The trunk tailgate supports three opening methods: the central control screen, the external button and the remote control key. With the electric tailgate, it is very convenient for daily use.

The opening switch position of the cabin cover is located at the lower left of the front of the driver’s seat. When opening, you need to pull the switch in the car first, and then turn on the switch located at the bottom of the cabin cover to lift it up. The cabin cover of the 2022 dark blue SL03 is equipped with two hydraulic support rods inside, and the hardware configuration is excellent, so it is relatively easy to open or close. It should be noted that as a pure electric model, the dark blue SL03 is under the hood of the front trunk, and the visual volume performance is quite good, which is more practical.

For consumers, the height of the threshold off the ground determines the convenience of getting on and off the bus to a certain extent. According to the measured results, the height of the 2022 dark blue SL03 threshold off the ground is 390mm, making it easier to get on and off the bus every day.

The 2022 dark blue SL03 is equipped with a Type-A interface in the front row and a Type-C interface in the back row. The car is not equipped with a 12V power interface, which is slightly less practical. According to actual measurements, the voltage of the charging interface is about 5.2V, and the current is close to 2A, which can basically meet daily use.

With the increasing popularity of smart cars, more and more models are equipped with intelligent voice assistants. For the "intelligent voice system", we use the following four fixed speech techniques to judge the performance of the voice interaction system in terms of automatic speech recognition rate, response speed and controllable functions.

1. I’m a little cold/I’m a little hot

2. Open the window/open the main driver window/open the sunroof

3. I want to listen to "XXXX" (song title)

4. I’m going to Lunyang Building

After actual testing, the intelligent voice system of the test model can recognize and operate all the above functions. The response speed of this automatic speech recognition control system is quite fast, and in continuous dialogue, the system recognizes the instructions more accurately, and the interaction experience is satisfactory.

IV. Space configuration test link

As a space test that is closely related to consumers, in the previous test drive article "The belated power faction, test drive the dark blue SL03 pure electric version", we have already experienced its ride space, and this time we will evaluate the same amount of storage space and its convenience in daily life.

For the test of the use of space in the car, it is only for the space within reach of the front row, excluding the space that needs to be opened such as the glove box and the central armrest box. The test method is to place all the following fixed items in each storage space in the front row, and judge the performance of the vehicle storage space by the placement of fixed items. The selected fixed items in the test are: 2 bottles of regular-sized mineral water, 1 large-screen mobile phone, 1 lipstick, 1 satchel, 1 pair of sunglasses, 1 folding umbrella, and 1 pack of regular-sized paper.

After testing, all the fixed items can be reasonably placed in each storage tank in the front row of the test model. Since the storage space at the bottom of the center console is quite large, many items can be placed. The door panel storage tank is large in size, and it is not a problem to put down an umbrella. In addition, the door handle also adopts a back cover design, which can hold small items.

The interior space of the 2022 dark blue SL03 trunk is relatively regular, and the overall space utilization rate is high. At the same time, due to the hatchback design of its tail, the opening area of the tailgate is considerable, and it is very convenient to transport goods. For the basic values of the trunk, we have also conducted actual measurements. The opening length is 1120mm; the opening width is 1000mm; the depth of the trunk is 1040mm; the vertical height between the trunk platform and the internal roof is 660mm.

V. Security configuration testing

In the front and rear vision tests of the vehicle, all seats in the vehicle have been adjusted to the lowest state, and the measured data have some deviations from the driver’s normal use, which is for reference only.

In the test of the forward vision, we used a 70cm high pile bucket as a reference, and then adjusted the distance between the vehicles until the upper edge of the pile bucket could be seen in the main driver’s seat. After testing, the final measured data of the pile bucket and the front of the car was 1.8m, which was better than the average of the same level.

In the rear field of view test, the pile bucket is still fixed, and then the vehicle is moved until the upper edge of the pile bucket can be observed. The distance measured by the rear field of view is 11.5m.

When testing the field of view of the external rearview mirror, first let the tester stand 10m perpendicular to the left and right rearview mirrors, and then start to move to the left and right sides until it appears on the outermost edges of the rearview mirrors on both sides, and measure its lateral distance. Then through the formula calculation, the angle angle of the rearview mirror field of view can be obtained. The larger the angle, the smaller the blind spot of the rearview mirror, and vice versa, the larger the blind spot of the rearview mirror.

Since the 2022 dark blue SL03 does not use double curvature lenses on both sides of the external rearview mirror, and the lens area is too small, the field of view on both sides is very general. The final test results of the rearview mirrors on both sides are 21.8 ° on the left and 21 ° on the right. The test results on the left side are in the middle and lower levels among the tested models of the same level, and the right side is higher than the average level of the same level.

During the test, the reversing radar can sense the rear object at 0.6m, and the radar power performance is quite average. According to the experience of previous tests, the closer the continuous beeping stage is to 0.25m, the closer it is to daily use habits. From the measured data, the continuous beeping prompt distance of the 2022 dark blue SL03 is 0.27m, which is not much different from the test experience value.

The front parking radar can also sense the forward object at a maximum distance of 0.6m, and the maximum distance in the continuous beeping stage is 0.27m, which is consistent with the rear radar.

The test car is equipped with a 360-degree panoramic imaging system, which not only provides good picture clarity, but also has a wide range of display angles. According to the actual measurement, in addition to providing multiple display angles, the auxiliary line in the screen can also follow the rotation of the steering wheel to change the trajectory. In addition, the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle will be displayed on the image screen, and the measured error is small, which has good reference significance.

In daily use, vehicles often encounter turning or U-turns, and the steering flexibility of the vehicle is very important at this time. Knowing the road width required by the car to turn around in place can be done well to avoid dangerous situations such as scratches. After actual testing, the minimum road width of the 2022 dark blue SL03 to turn around in place is 9.6m, which is at the upstream level among the tested models of the same level.

In addition to the main driver’s seat, the 2022 dark blue SL03 is equipped with an in-car handle above the other three doors, which performs well. The in-car handle is necessary for people with limited mobility, and it can also play a certain auxiliary role in the safety of passengers on bumpy roads.

VI. Battery life test

In the actual road test, the test vehicle showed a pure electric mileage of 128km before starting, and the driving route passed through urban sections, of which 30% were congested sections, the average speed of the whole journey was about 30km/h, and the air conditioning temperature was 23 ° C. When arriving at the destination, the pure electric mileage was 106km, and the actual driving mileage of the vehicle was 21km. The table showed that the mileage was reduced by 22km, that is, the average mileage consumed per 1km was about 1.05km.

In addition, we also tested the charging efficiency. After 10 minutes of DC charging, the range increased from 5km to 141km. The charging speed is relatively fast, and it is basically in line with the estimated time of the vehicle’s computer.

Summarize:As the first model of the new brand, the pressure of the dark blue SL03 after its launch is undoubtedly very great, but with its excellent product strength, it has proved itself in just a few months. Compared with the same level of fuel vehicles, the dark blue SL03 has significantly higher overall space utilization, and it also shows quite comprehensive hardcore strength in design and configuration. There is no obvious shortcoming, I think it is the biggest highlight of this model. Such an all-round performance can fully meet the needs of daily household.
