The Avatr 06T’s CDC (Continuous Damping Control) system acts as the “brain” of the suspension, adjusting firmness dynamically in real time to match road conditions. It works in tandem with air suspension to balance luxury-level smoothness with sporty confidence.
How CDC works: The fundamental principle is to change the shock absorber’s damping force within milliseconds, following these steps.
Sensing: The vehicle is equipped with accelerometers and wheel travel sensors that detect body movement and road vibrations over 100 times per second.
Processing: Sensor data, along with vehicle speed, steering angle, and braking force, is sent to the electronic control unit (ECU), which calculates whether each shock should be softened or stiffened at that moment.
Valve adjustment: Each CDC shock contains an electromagnetic control valve. When softness is needed, the valve opens wider to allow hydraulic fluid to flow easily, enabling smooth compression that absorbs bumps well. When firmness is desired, the valve narrows flow to increase stiffness, reducing body roll during cornering or nose dive under sudden braking.
Highlights of the Avatr 06T’s CDC system.
What makes the 06T’s CDC special is its “Integrated Intelligence,” working with other vehicle systems. Road Scanning Preview uses LiDAR and high-resolution cameras from Huawei ADS to scan the road surface ahead. If bumps or rough patches are detected, the system preemptively commands the shocks to soften before the wheels hit the obstacle (pre-active adjustment).
Adaptive Driving Modes: The system adjusts vehicle behavior according to the selected driving mode. In Sport mode, CDC prioritizes firmness for grip; in Comfort mode, it focuses on smoothing vibrations.
High-Speed Stability: At high speeds, CDC increases damping to reduce body pitch and roll, making the vehicle feel stable like a “flying carpet” even on highways. Benefits include greater comfort by minimizing cabin vibrations over uneven roads, improved safety via shorter braking distances and reduced vehicle instability during sudden maneuvers, and enhanced driving confidence at all speeds—essential for a nearly 900-horsepower vehicle like the 06T.
The Avatr 06T’s autonomous driving system is enhanced with Huawei Inside technology. It features the latest LiDAR sensor mounted on the roof and a total of 27 sensors around the vehicle for precise detection. The software is Huawei Qiankun ADS 4.0 (or version 3.0 on some trims), supporting semi-autonomous driving in urban and highway conditions. Key assistance functions include highly accurate automatic parking assistance (APA), remote parking via smartphone control (RPA), automatic lane changing, and safety features like automatic emergency braking (AEB) and emergency lane keeping (ELK).
Design philosophy: The 06T was designed under the "Future Elegance" concept by a team led by Nader Faghihzadeh, a renowned former BMW designer known for his work on the BMW i8 and 6 Series. The exterior emphasizes futuristic Sci-Fi style, featuring distinctive double-layered "Double E" LED headlights unique to the brand. The body lines are muscular yet smooth, retaining digital side mirrors on top trims.
