Use this page to check whether your budget fits the official AVATR 11 Brazil price band announced by CAOA Changan, then compare fallback import math only if you have a reason to bypass the dealer route.
Time-sensitive assumptions reviewed on June 23, 2026. Full evidence refresh cadence: every 6 months, or immediately before deposit and shipment booking.
| Step | Operational detail |
|---|---|
| Step 1: Start with the official Brazil quote band | Use CAOA Changan announced prices (R$599,990-R$619,990, posted March 9, 2026) as the primary decision anchor, then request a dealer quote with final fees and delivery terms. |
| Step 2: Compare budget to the selected official configuration | The tool first checks whether your BRL budget clears the selected five-seat or four-seat price and assigns the next action before any import fallback math. |
| Step 3: Convert CNY anchor to USD then BRL for fallback only | If you still need a direct-import comparison, use a date-stamped CNY/USD rate and USD/BRL rate, preserving both source dates in your worksheet. |
| Step 4: Build CIF / customs value proxy | Combine ex-factory value, shipping, and insurance to form the valor aduaneiro (customs value) used as the base for II. |
| Step 5: Layer II (import duty) | Apply II on the customs value. For EVs, this rate is phased to 35% by July 2026. Confirm your exact arrival window. |
| Step 6: Layer IPI under Mover Program | IPI is calculated on a base that includes II. The rate depends on the Mover Program bonus-malus efficiency criteria. |
| Step 7: Layer PIS/COFINS Importação | These federal contributions apply on the customs value, separate from the IPI base, and must not be omitted. |
| Step 8: Layer ICMS on the combined base | ICMS (state tax) applies on a base that typically includes customs value + II + IPI + PIS/COFINS, plus freight. The entry state controls the rate. |
| Step 9: Add INMETRO, port handling, contingency | Model homologation and handling as separate lines, then stress the core with a contingency band to test budget resilience. |
| Step 10: Decide action path by readiness | Map the result to a concrete next action: execute, fix gaps, or pause and re-scope the import plan. |

| Official AVATR 11 Brazil price, São Paulo show launch & deposit | CAOA Changan announced prices of R$599,990 (five seats) and R$619,990 (four seats) on March 9, 2026, after 20+ units were sold following the 2025 São Paulo Motor Show. Auto Esporte separately reported the R$10,000 refundable reservation signal. CAOA Changan official release | Checked June 23, 2026 | Official CAOA Changan release plus Auto Esporte reservation note |
| Warranty evidence boundary for AVATR 11 quote | CAOA Changan warranty references for the Brazilian network show a 7-year / 150k km framework and high-voltage component coverage where applicable, but AVATR 11 buyers must confirm the exact written warranty certificate, battery scope, exclusions, maintenance rules, and transfer terms in the dealer quote. CNN Brasil | Checked June 23, 2026 | Network warranty framework; AVATR 11-specific certificate still requires written confirmation |
| AVATR 11 Drivetrain, Motors & Battery Specs | Brazilian press references differ slightly across launch and review coverage: launch copy cites 585 cv and 66.1 kgfm, while later review tables cite 578 cv, 66.3 kgfm and 116.8 kWh. The stable decision fact is dual-motor AWD, 0-100 km/h in 3.9s, and 710 km CLTC; final quote/spec sheet should resolve the exact output line. Auto Esporte | Checked June 23, 2026 | Technical specifications with publication-to-publication variance disclosed |
| Brazil customs authority reference point | Import treatment, NCM classification, and declaration details must be validated against current Receita Federal guidance for your transaction profile. Receita Federal do Brasil | Checked June 19, 2026 | Primary authority portal |
| II Phase-in Schedule for EVs | Governs the step-up of EV import taxes from 10% (Jan 2024) to 35% by July 2026. Required for arrival timeline modeling. SECEX / CAMEX Resolutions | Checked June 19, 2026 | Primary policy framework |
| Mover Program (IPI rules & local production incentives) | Official Mover legislation applies 0% IPI to locally manufactured EVs that meet sustainability criteria, while imported EVs face variable rates (typically 7-20%) based on efficiency. The exact AVATR 11 bracket requires professional confirmation. MDIC Mover legislation | Checked June 23, 2026 | Primary policy framework |
| LCVM Environmental License | IBAMA is the environmental authority reference point. Exact LCVM pathway and timing must be confirmed for the transaction before shipment. IBAMA (INFOSERV) | Checked June 19, 2026 | Primary authority portal |
| INMETRO vehicle certification reference | INMETRO is the conformity authority reference point. Component/test-report reuse and practical certification timing require written broker or lab evidence. INMETRO | Checked June 19, 2026 | Primary authority portal |
| ICMS state rate reference point | ICMS rate and base vary by state of first circulation and must be confirmed with the relevant state Fazenda. Secretaria da Fazenda (state) | Checked June 19, 2026 | Primary authority portal |
| FX verification source | Use a date-stamped BRL/USD source for quote reproducibility; this tool keeps FX inputs editable by user. Banco Central do Brasil | Checked June 19, 2026 | Primary authority portal |
| Cross-border valuation methodology boundary | Valuation assumptions can shift taxable bases materially; keep broker methodology documented as a separate evidence artifact. Decision-framework note on this page | Checked June 19, 2026 | Method boundary |
| Option | Timeline | Cost clarity | Risk | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Official CAOA Changan AVATR 11 purchase | Primary route after March 2026 price announcement | Highest: fixed BRL price + R$10k refundable deposit | Delivery queues, dealer allocation limits, and mandatory network maintenance | Buyers who prioritize quote-confirmed warranty terms, authorized-network maintenance, and local parts/service support |
| Parallel import via specialized trader | Fallback only; depends on documentation and shipment slot | Low: variable tax (II 35%), FX drift, and custom clearance fees | Forfeits the official authorized-network warranty path, creates parts-support uncertainty, and carries high homologation risk | Not recommended unless direct import is mandatory and the buyer accepts full self-funded warranty risks |
| Wait for more dealer stock or promotion clarity | Variable by CAOA Changan network expansion | High after new quote is issued | Price changes, allocation limits, and delivery queue movement | Buyers who fit the model but need stronger negotiation room |
| Switch shortlist to a Mercosur-assembled EV | Medium | Lower tax burden if locally assembled | Spec and brand preference mismatch | Buyers whose primary constraint is total tax burden, not a specific model |
| Buy a used / pre-registered AVATR 11 already in Brazil | Variable, depends on supply | Transaction-dependent | Limited supply, history verification required, check if official warranty transfers to second owner | Buyers who need immediate registration and accept pre-owned stock |
