A cut-price Tesla Model 3 rival? GWM Ora Sport 2025 preview: New Chinese electric car sounds warning

The 2025 GWM Ora Sport is the new Chinese electric car you haven't heard of – yet. While yet to be confirmed for an Australian release, it is under strong consideration for local sales, which would see it go tyre to tyre with another zero-emissions mid-size sedan, the best-selling Tesla Model 3.

The Ora Sport is the big brother to another EV, the Ora small hatchback, but the two couldn't be anymore different, with the former adopting an aerodynamic shape that looks to extend its driving range, which is rated at 550km. Better yet, it's powered by dual electric motors which combine to deliver all-wheel drive and outputs of 300kW of power and 580Nm of torque.

In this news video, CarsGuide Contributing Journalist Stephen Ottley gets up close and personal with the new Ora Sport to find out what it's all about and whether or not it's worthy of an Australia release date. Watch on to find out!

Would buy it based on looks alone. Personally I think the aesthetics are great, inside and out.
Plus that purple on the test car is so regal 🤌

It is the Ora 07 it is not called the Ora sport anywhere 0-100kms in 4.3 is excellent, also the real world range has found they are getting 520 kms which is d as l do very good compared to the competition .

Nobody thinks that a Panamera mate 😂 clearly a Chinese design😂

[simon-cy]

Not new. I'd like to see a revised new version...

[andysingh]

Looks like a large dumpling lmao. Seriously though, hideous design

[coldude]

🤔🤔not too sure....something just doesn't look right...

I asked my mechanic about Chinese made cars. He recommended against them because parts are hard to get. EVs have fewer parts and less maintenance but they still have mechanical parts and can still get dented panels.

Has Tesla met its march? I'll let you know when Ora has made and sold about 3M units AND made billions of dollars in profits in the process. They can only

[icemanSJ]

Quite possibly the ugliest car on sale…?

[corkeymonster]

It looks like a blatant rip-off of the Bentley Continental GT tail lights.

[lucanucci]

Horrible, worse than the new BMW X2 😮

[wcrash]

So many fools who know nothing about style or car design. This was designed by Porsche

[chucknorris]

First gen Toyota Prius and this car are the ugliest cars in the history of cars. I think China is trolling the world with this car.
