China has produced yet another electric vehicle. Great Wall Motors has dubbed it the ORA Good Cat.
VG Impex, the authorized distributor of Great Wall Motors automobiles in Nepal has imported Ora sub-brand of the company which produces electric vehicles.
Great Wall’s Taizhou assembly plant is home to the ORA brand, which specializes in electric car production. Compact and inviting in style, the Good Cat appears to have been inspired by European automobiles like the VW Beetle, Porche 911 and Fiat 500.

The Good Cat’s wheelbase measures 2,650 millimeters (104.3 inches), its width measures 1,825 millimeters (71.8 millimeters), and its height measures 1,596 millimeters (62.8 millimeters). It is based on GWM’s smart E Lemon modular platform.
There is no grille on the Great Wall’s Good Cat because it is an electric vehicle, but it does include round headlights and a little grille at the bottom of its bumper. Additionally, the EV comes equipped with a set of retro-inspired five-spoke wheels and a white roof on the one shown.
Rather than typical taillights, the Good Cat has a lightbar integrated into the rear windshield and two thin horizontal light/reflectors on the bumper. Additional lights can be seen near the bumper and on top, as well as an auxiliary brake light.
There is a large digital display in front of the driver and a secondary screen for the infotainment system in the interior, which makes it look to be quite luxurious. Two-spoke steering wheel and attractive blue and white motif with soft-touch leather are also available.
The ORA’s power source comes from a single electric motor on the front axle of the Good Cat that generates 143 PS of maximum power output and provides 210 Nm of torque. NEDC range is 311 miles (501 kilometers) and the car will be available in 3 variants with two different battery pack configurations.
In keeping with the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) standard, the smaller 47.8 kWh battery can operate for up to 400 kilometers, while the larger 63.1 kWh battery can run for as long as 500 kilometers, according to the company.
Automatic climate control with a PM2.5 air filter and two airbags are all standard equipment on the Ora Good Cat, which also has 18-inch alloy wheels and a huge integrated display with a 360-degree camera. Passive safety systems and rear parking sensors are also available.
