The Ora Good Cat or Haomao (Chinese: 欧拉好猫; pinyin: Ōulā Hǎomāo) is a battery electric compact car produced by Great Wall Motors under its electric vehicle brand, Ora since November 2020.[6] It is marketed as the Ora Funky Cat in several markets,[7] GWM Ora 03 in Brazil and GWM Ora in Australia and Nepal.[8]

Overview

The Haomao was first revealed at the Chengdu Auto Show on 24 July 2020[9] with a retro aesthetic styled by former Porsche designer Emanuel Derta.[4] Sales of the vehicle in China began on 24 November 2020.[10] Sales in Thailand began on 29 October 2021 with the vehicles being imported from China.[11][12][13][14] GWM started marketing vehicle in the European market in 2022 as the Funky Cat.

The Tech and Pro trim of the Good Cat offer a range of 400 km based on the NEDC standard from a 47.8-kWh lithium-iron phosphate battery. A front mounted electric motor rated at 143 PS (141 hp or 105 kW) and 210 Nm of torque offers the Good Cat a top speed of 152 km/h. The Ultra trim features a 63.1 kWh battery, increasing the electric range to 500 km based on the NEDC cycle, while retaining the same 143 PS/210 Nm electric motor.[15]
