How Safe Is the AVATR 11? A Closer Look at Its Safety Technology

Abu Dhabi: It is easy to fall for the AVATR 11 at first sight, with its frameless doors, huge screens and zero-gravity seats. But before you sign anything, a sensible question is how well it looks after you.

We went through the official UAE page, and the answer is encouraging: the 90 kWh RWD, 116 kWh AWD 5-seat and 116 kWh AWD 4-seat versions all list the same safety and driver-assistance equipment.

The Quick Answer

If you only have a minute, here it is. Every version comes with airbags, ABS, ESP, traction control, hill hold and hill descent control, rollover mitigation, tyre pressure monitoring and a rear-door electronic child lock. On top of that sits a driver-assistance system built around 5 millimetre-wave radars, 5 HD cameras and 12 ultrasonic radars.

Keeping the Car Planted

The first layer of safety is about helping you stay in control before anything goes wrong.

Feature	Standard on all versions
Braking	ABS, EBD, Brake Assist and Dynamic Brake Function
Stability	ESP, Traction Control and Rollover Mitigation
Slopes	Hill Hold Control and Hill Descent Control
Parking	Electronic parking brake and Autohold

If the Worst Happens: Protecting Everyone Inside

The second layer protects people if a collision cannot be avoided.

• Airbags: front, front side, and front-and-rear integrated airbags
• Seat belts: pretensioners for the front row and rear left and right seats
• Families: ISOFIX anchors and a rear-door electronic child safety lock
• Extras: tyre pressure monitoring, an anti-theft alarm and AVAS

Inside, this safety sits alongside a very special cabin, which our interior and exterior explainer walks through.

A Co-Pilot That Watches All Around

The Lynk & Co 06 comes with the following driver-assistance functions as standard across all versions.

Looking ahead	Looking behind and beside	Helping you steer and cruise
Forward Collision Warning	Rear Collision Warning	Lane Departure Warning
Automatic Emergency Braking*	Rear Cross Traffic Alert	Lane Keep Assist
Front Cross Traffic Alert	Rear Cross Traffic Braking*	Adaptive Cruise Control
Front Cross Traffic Braking*	Blind Spot Detection	Lane Cruise Control
Traffic Sign Recognition*	Door Open Warning	Automatic Lane Change

Some functions are marked with an asterisk, but their exact details are not explained in the available information. Please check with the dealer to understand how these functions work and when they apply.

Parking Without the Stress

• Automatic Parking Assist* and Mobile App Remote Parking Assist
• 360° Around View Monitor, transparent chassis view and a 3D environment simulation display
• Handy extras: front camera recorder, rain-sensing wipers and exterior mirrors that tilt down when reversing

A Word on the Battery

AVATR's UAE page says its CATL ternary lithium battery offers continuous thermal runaway monitoring, an intelligent Battery Management System for early warning detection and thermal spread suppression.

Our Verdict

For UAE buyers, the AVATR 11 makes a convincing safety case on paper. Families will appreciate the ISOFIX anchors, child lock and full airbag line-up, while highway commuters get adaptive cruise, lane aids and blind-spot detection, and anyone who battles crowded mall car parks will welcome the 360° camera and auto parking. 

Because the equipment is the same on every version, your decision really comes down to power, range and seating, and our performance explainer will help you compare. One caution: the sources list equipment only, with no crash-test rating, so please ask the dealer about that and take a test drive before you decide.
