ORA 07 Highlights
The electric vehicle (EV) market is buzzing with new entrants, and one of the most intriguing is the ORA 07.
GWM’s characterful EV is making waves with its unique design and impressive features.
An official launch date hasn’t been revealed yet, but GWM have said that full pricing and specification will be communicated in the coming weeks and months.
With such a crowded EV market in the UK, you’re probably wondering what GWM has promised to make the ORA 07 unique.
Let’s take a look.
1. Unique Design
Like it’s older sibling, we already know the ORA 07 is a head-turner with its quirky, retro-inspired design.
It takes a lot of design cues from the ORA 03, featuring the round headlights we know and love. You get a fastback roofline and what looks like a panoramic sunroof, giving it a friendly and approachable look.
This design is quite refreshing and the sloping roofline actually gives off a Porsche vibe if you look from afar.
2. Interior Comfort
Step inside the ORA 07, and you’ll find a calming and simple interior.
It’s a bit more upmarket than the ORA 03, with synthetic leather and silver trim everywhere you look.
The high center console and user-friendly touchscreen make for a comfortable and intuitive driving experience. It has been designed to be a sanctuary on wheels.
3. Battery Options
The ORA 07 offers flexibility with two battery sizes expected to launch.
The larger 83kWh battery should provide a range of around 320 miles, making it ideal for longer journeys.
This ensures that you can go the distance without frequent recharges.
4. Performance
For those who crave power, the ORA 07 won’t disappoint. It will boast 400 PS dual motors, delivering a spirited driving experience with 680 Nm of torque.
This means you’ll get from 0-62mph in just 4.4 seconds.
5. ORA 07 Competitors
The ORA 07 is set to compete with other midsize electric saloons like the BYD SEAL, Hyundai Ioniq 6, Volkswagen ID.7, and Tesla Model 3.
Its unique design aims to carve out a niche in this competitive segment, appealing to those looking for something different.
6. Driving Experience
Early reviews suggest that the ORA 07 offers a refined driving experience.
It’s designed to be comfortable and enjoyable on the road, with impressive levels of refinement that make it a pleasure to drive.
7. Technology
The ORA 07 will be equipped with a clear and responsive central touchscreen.
It’s expected to support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, enhancing connectivity and convenience for drivers. This tech-savvy approach ensures you stay connected on the go.
8. Design Influence
The design of the ORA 07 has been influenced by Andrew Dyson, who brings extensive experience from the USA and Europe.
His vision has helped shape the car’s unique and characterful appearance, making it stand out from the crowd.
9. Niche Appeal
GWM ORA acknowledges that the ORA 07 will likely be a niche seller due to its distinctive design.
However, its unique look and characterful interior may attract buyers looking for something different in the EV market.
It’s a car that dares to be different.
