Saw one at the shopping centre on static display. Very well built and the width is almost mid-size like a RAV4.

I have had an Ora for some weeks now and your review is very good and outlines very clearly the strengths and weaknesses of the car.

Loved the exterior in dark green but the interior was even better. It drives like a regular car and didn’t feel weighed down by the battery. Loved the Jetsons-like whir from the drivetrain. Tyres are definitely inferior and I’d replace them with something quieter and with better grip. Hoping the software bugs are resolved quickly.

Can all car reviewers please state the battery chemistry when reviewing EVs? LFP vs NMC etc is going to become as relevant as knowing whether a car requires 91RON or 95RON - it's valid info buyers may use to make a final decision.

About the Single Pedal Mode - when car has just been fully charged, the car will lose its single pedal/strong regen functionality until such point when some power has been drawn down. I think it is mentioned in passing somewhere in the user manual. It caught me off-guard too in the beginning...

[patrickspader]

To answer the reviewers question I think it looks cute. Interested to know what range it gets when sitting at 110km/h on the highway if any owner has info/experience they would care to offer?

[RechargableBattery]

The driver monitoring system does NOT work in this car in NZ and Australia, only works in the GT model. It is supposed to work and GWM China don't have a fix for it. They have been trying to fix my cars DMS for 8 months now. it is not a 5 star ANCAP safety without the driver monitoring system working. please share for the safety of ORA drivers

[murz]

No voice control, no DAB radio, no OTA updates, no maps, Android auto available only next year, no memory of settings, mode change causes all settings to revert to default... some of these things are available to overseas buyers... GWM treats Australian customers as 2nd class citizens...

[Mububban]

Disappointing that purpose-built EVs like this and MG4 don't have even a tiny frunk. ZS EV also has space under the bonnet, but they haven't specced a frunk. To me that's a genuine selling point for EVs, especially smaller hatchback-sized vehicles.

[photent]

Not the same price anymore. MG4 is the most pricey.

[russellchristison]

FFS there is nothing Porsche looking about this car. Nissan Micra maybe.
Having said that this would be a great runabout car.
