AVATR 07 debuts in SL with no price tag — would you buy an unproven luxury EV brand?

Evolution Auto unveiled the AVATR 07 in Colombo in early October 2026 — a "luxury intelligent SUV" built on Huawei software, Changan engineering and a CATL battery, claiming up to 575km of range. Oddly, the launch didn't come with a published price for our market, leaving buyers to guess where it lands against a Lexus, a BMW X-series, or even a well-specced BYD. Fans of this new wave say brands like this bring tech — AI driving aids, huge onboard processing power, slick interiors — that Japanese and German rivals still don't offer here at any price. Skeptics say a nameplate with zero track record on our roads, no used-market history, and an unproven service and parts network is a bad place to park tens of millions of rupees, however smart the dashboard is. With import duty already making any EV here expensive, does a brand-new luxury badge make sense, or should buyers wait until it's proven in real Sri Lankan traffic and heat? Would you be the early adopter, or let someone else eat the depreciation? අපූරු තාක්ෂණයක් වුණත්, මෙහෙම අලුත් brand එකක් ගන්න ඔයා කැප වෙනවද?
