GWM Ora 2023 Accessories
Standard kit is good with 18-inch alloys, full Android and Apple connectivity, synthetic trim, dual info screens, 360-degree camera view and active cruise control.
The GT model builds on that with a panoramic sunroof, specific alloy wheels, a hands-free tailgate, powered driver's seat and automatic parking function.
GWM Ora 2023 Interior
There's a lot more soft-touch surfacing in the Ora than you might have imagined. In fact, it's all quite plush until you get to knee level where the hard plastics begin, namely the centre console and the lower door trims.
The dual 10.25 inch screens give a high-tech look and the twin-spoke steering wheel and two-tone trim colours are a bit of a standout, too.
There's also impressive leg room in the car, even in the back seat and there's lots of headroom, too. A reach-adjustable steering column would have been nice.
GWM Ora 2023 Boot Space
With the rear seat in place, luggage space is a so-so 228 litres. But fold the seat flat and that opens up to 858 litres. Disappointingly for an EV, there's no frunk luggage space.
GWM Ora 2023 Seats
The highlight of the Ora's seats is probably the quilted leatherette facings that look classy and distinctive . They're not bad to sit in either, although the rear seat is a bit flat.
The rear seat folds flat to quadruple luggage space and there are three child-restraint points across the back of the rear bench.
GWM Ora 2023 Speed
This vehicle is not about speed, but GWM claims a 0-100km/h dash of 8.5 seconds anyway. It feels believable. Top speed is just under 160km/h.
GWM Ora 2023 Engine
Australia will only get the single motor version of the Ora, but that's okay because it really does the job. Power is 126kW and torque 250Nm and the way it's delivered gives the car a frisky feel.

GWM Ora 2023 Range
While similar to some of its competitors, the Ora's range of 320km in small-battery form is going to keep it within urban limits, we suspect. The bigger battery stretches range to 420km which is better, but will still require pre-planning for any freeway run.
