GWM Ora EV hatch dead, being replaced by identically priced SUV
It might look almost identical, but the GWM Ora 5 is larger than the oft-overlooked hatchback it's replacing mid-year and yet it costs the same.

2025 GWM Ora
The GWM Ora is the brand's small electric hatchback, pitched at buyers who want an affordable EV with distinctive styling and easy urban manners. Its rounded design gives it a friendlier look than many sharply styled electric rivals, while the compact footprint makes it well suited to commuting and city parking. In Australia the Ora competes with budget-focused EVs from BYD, MG and other Chinese brands, relying on price, equipment and warranty support to stand out. It is not aimed at long-distance touring first, but it works well as a daily electric runabout. For GWM, it is the clearest entry point into EV ownership.
