GWM Ora 03 Achieves A Fantastic Five-star Green NCAP

GWM Ora has achieved a fantastic 5-star result with its first launch model, Ora Funky Cat (Ora 03), as part of Europe’s most stringent environmental performance tests. The GWM Ora 03 is known as Ora Good Cat in Thailand, Ora in Australia and Funky Cat in Europe.

Green NCAP, which conducts the tests, measures vehicles through three important indexes: Clean air, energy efficiency and greenhouse gas. Ora Funky Cat scored 10/10, 9.5/10 and 9.8/10 respectively.

This means that Ora Funky Cat achieved an overall score of 97% which enabled it to comfortably pass the tests with the full 5 star Green rating. Most notably, Ora Funky Cat reported a grid-to-battery output at an impressive 93.2% when charging at 11kW- one of the highest recorded efficiency scores ever documented by Green NCAP. Grid to battery output is a measure of how efficient a battery is at receiving energy from the grid, a higher figure means less energy loss as part of the charging process.

In addition, Ora Funky Cat performed well in the driving efficiency tests with an average energy efficiency of 19.1kWh/ 100km, which includes the result of the high power demand Highway Test. The lowest recorded consumption figure was 15.9kWh / 100km achieved in the standard laboratory test with a cold powertrain start, followed by a very similar result in the warm start test. Both efficiency figures were awarded a 10/10 score by Green NCAP.

Green NCAP also performed a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to determine the overall impact of each vehicle on the environment. Measured on Green House Gas Emissions and Primary Energy Demand using a default set of parameters, ORA Funky Cat sat on the lower end of the scale, outperforming many of its petrol and BEV counterparts.

Ora Funky Cat achieved an average life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of 112.9 gCO2/km, with the highest contributor being energy supply which accounted for 49% of the output of climate changing gases.

GWM Ora also achieved very strong results in the Euro NCAP safety tests which were conducted last year. Ora Funky Cat achieved the highest score in the ‘Small Family Car’ category overall, based on its results for Adult Occupant Protection, Child Occupant Protection, Vulnerable User Protection and Safety Assist technologies. Ora Funky Cat achieved a full five star rating and was awarded the ‘best-in-class’ title.

In our market, the GWM Ora 03 is powered by a 47.7 kWh Lithium iron phosphate battery pack to deliver 99 kW of power and210 Nm of torque. The Ora 03 delivers a range of 400 km (according to the NEDC standard). The Ora 03 comes loaded with a plethora of features like 18-inch alloys, a large 10.25-inch infotainment system, a 360-degree camera, a sunroof, wireless charging, leatherette, and electrically adjustable seat automatic air-conditioning, multi-drive modes, passive safety systems, rear parking sensors, etc.
