GWM's all-electric Ora comes in three forms, but the first two are really the same vehicle with the option of a larger battery.
What we like
- Groovy looks are certainly different
- Interior looks good, fits adults
- Competitive pricing
What we don't
- Ride quality suffers at speed
- Range of base-model is only average
- Silence of electric power shows up other noises

GWM’s all-electric Ora comes in three forms, but the first two are really the same vehicle with the option of a larger battery. The base model and the long range versions, then will be the volume selling Oras. The version with the smaller, 48kW battery and a claimed 320km range, dubbed the Standard Range, costs $43,990, before on-road costs.
It uses a single electric motor and a single-speed transmission to drive the front wheels. In that, the Ora is a fairly conventional vehicle, but it breaks new (or, at least, different) ground in its presentation.
Read more about GWM Ora
Forget the vanilla small EVs we’ve seen before; the Ora offers a slightly retro style that is perhaps a little derivative, but good fun just the same. The interiors are perhaps even groovier than that with quilted trim and retro switchgear.
Safety is comprehensively covered in the Ora including autonomous emergency braking, active cruise-control, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistant (including an emergency function), forward collision warning, collision avoidance, rear cross-traffic alert, door-open warning and road-sign recognition. The Ora also scored a maximum five stars in Euro NCAP testing, but hasn’t been tested here yet.
