KATHMANDU: Great Wall Motor (GWM) Nepal has officially opened the booking for the most-awaited all-electric crossover — ORA 03 EV — under its ORA brand with an introductory price of Rs 4.749 million.
GWM ORA 03 is a global model that has already been launched in various countries, including China, Thailand, Malaysia, the UK, Germany, Australia, and New Zealand, with different model names like Goodcat, Funkycat, and ORA 03 EV, and has gained great appreciation from users in various markets, with more than 150,000 owners worldwide.
The ORA 03 EV is a retro-modernistic crossover designed by former Porsche designer Emanuel Derta. It closely follows the 'Retro-Modernistic' concept, achieved through the integration of advanced EV technology with timeless classic design cues. Aesthetically, the ORA 03 EV has soft lines in its exterior, which also characterise the brand’s other models and reinforce a very recognisable family style, combining a retro look with modern features.
Up front, the round full LED headlights with circular daytime running lights are the most striking design element, while the rear light clusters are mounted high up so as to disappear into the rear window virtually. They form a single horizontal strip of light extending right across the width of the car.
The interior is well thought out in design and materials, with widespread use of 'leatherette'. The retro/modern aesthetic carries through in the driver’s cockpit as well. Clean surfaces, two-tone pastel upholstery, and chrome controls reflect the past, while the dual-display digital instrumentation and infotainment system panel are firmly futuristic.
ORA 03 EV has been developed on a 100% Pure EV Platform that has been designed to be modular and, therefore, scalable to allow the brand to create larger and smaller vehicles from the same basic architecture.
ORA 03 EV comes with loads of safety features like 7 airbags, ABS with EBD, Electronic Stability Control (ECS), Traction Control System (TCS), Electronic Parking Brake, Uphill Assist Control, Automatic Vehicle Hold, Front Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, Rear Parking Sensors, 360 Degree Camera System, etc., and has scored 5 stars in both ANCAP (Australasian New Car Assessment Program) and EURO ANCAP ratings, which makes it one of the safest electric vehicles available in Nepal.
On the comfort and convenience front, the ORA 03 EV pampers one with features like an amazingly spacious cabin, a panoramic sunroof, leather seats, a 6-way driver’s power seat, an automatic air conditioner, adaptive cruise control, five driving modes, etc.
In Nepal, ORA 03 EV is available in only one variant, 'PRO', that comes with 47.78 KWh of Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery (LFP) and an impressive drive range of 400 kilometres (NEW EUROPEAN DRIVING CYCLE, NEDC). Also, ORA 03 comes with a permanent magnetic synchronous electric motor with a peak power of 99 KW and 210 NM of torque, which is adequate for city as well as highway drives.
GWM Nepal is offering an 8-year or 150,000 km (whichever comes earlier) warranty on the high voltage battery, drive motor, and motor controller, and 4 years or 150,000 km (whichever comes earlier) on the entire vehicle, excluding wear and tear parts.
GWM Nepal firmly establishes its presence in Nepal with global models such as Haval H6, Haval Jolion, POER, and Wingle 5. GWM Nepal continues to develop its market with futuristic models and premium offerings from Great Wall Motors and vows to tangibly foster the country’s next-generation automotive innovation.
