There’s a new generation of electric vehicles hitting our roads. The GWM Ora model is a feature-packed hatchback with an attractive price point. It’s here to shake up the below $50K electric vehicle market and offer real value to drivers.
The New Zealand government’s increasing support for EVs makes the driveaway price for the GWM Ora even more tempting. Depending on the emissions criteria, you could ride away with $8,625 back in your pocket with the maximum clean car rebate.
The GWM Ora model is instantly recognizable and unforgettable. It’s funky retro-inspired exterior pairs forward-thinking technology and luxurious details. You’ll love to be seen zipping around the city driving in one of these good-looking new electric vehicles. It would make an ideal company car and a stylish drive to any business meeting.
Fuel prices continue to be unstable, so it’s ideal to have alternatives. This hatchback is powered exclusively by electricity and delivers the ultimate quiet and smooth ride—ideal for handling heavy traffic, last-minute turns and tight parking spaces.
What makes this electric hatchback different is how spacious it is. Riding in the GWM Ora as a passenger and driver is a super-comfortable experience, with roomy cabins in both the front and rear seats. It’s easy to see the extra care and attention put into all parts of the vehicle.
The colour-coordinated plush leatherette seats, minimal buttons and vintage look add extra style points. Wireless phone charging ports in the front and USB ports in the rear are welcome features for modern city living.
