About the GWM Ora 03
The GWM Ora 03, originally launched in the UK as the Funky Cat before a late 2023 rebranding, is a compact electric hatchback designed to compete with the Volkswagen ID.3 and MG4. The Pure+ trim serves as the entry-level variant, featuring a 48kWh LFP battery that provides a WLTP range of 193 miles. Its design is a distinctive mix of Porsche-like curves and Mini-inspired proportions, while the cabin offers a surprisingly upmarket feel with high-quality materials and dual 10.25-inch screens. Despite its compact footprint, it provides generous rear legroom, though the boot capacity is notably smaller than its rivals.
