GWM Ora 03

GWM Ora 03

Formerly known as the Funky Cat, the GWM Ora 03 is basically the same electric supermini.

Originally launched as the Ora Funky Cat, the maker of this retro-looking electric hatch - GWM - has had a naming rethink and decided to go with the rather more prosaic GWM Ora 03. The 03 mixes and matches styling from the original Volkswagen Beetle, the MINI and even the first-gen Nissan Leaf to relatively pleasing effect. The cabin is equally as nice to look at, and very spacious too, but the digital displays aren’t as slick as they first appear, and the software really feels like it needs an update. Long range efficiency isn’t great either (22kWh/100km at motorway speeds) so this is an EV that’s better kept in town.
