Video Summary
Here are the summary points from the video review:- The GWM Ora (marketed in some areas as the Funky Cat or Good Cat) is one of the best EVs that Great Wall Motors has brought into Australia, and is surprisingly impressive.
- The exterior design has some quirks, such as a small pattern on the sides and a cute little dance of the lights on startup. It also does not offer additional storage in the front (frunk).
- A covering on the camera on the front of the car and that is part of the aura brand is deemed “the weirdest decision”.
- The standard range model has a 48kWh battery that gets about 320km of range and starts at just under 40 grand, while the extended range model has a 63kWh battery that gets about 420km and is closer to 46 grand.
- There is an AC and DC charging port, but the DC charging maxes out at around 70kW.
- The interior was a pleasant surprise and is considered really nice with a comfortable driving position.
- The steering wheel is great and has reach adjustment.
- There is good instrumentation on the digital instrument cluster, it also has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- The driving monitoring aids can be turned off.
- All air conditioning is controlled from the screen, a basic but intuitive system.
- There are mini switches in the front to copy another car manufacturer design.
- The rear seat is a mixed bag. Leg support and toe room are okay, headroom is fantastic, but has hard plastic material and no air vents.
- The steering wheel feels nice but has reach adjustment.
- The acceleration achieved was 0 to 100 in 7.9 seconds. The declared power is 126kW (169 hp) with 250nM torque (184 ft lbs).
- The car handles well, like it was an all wheel drive.
