This particular model is the Great Wall Motors Ora Good Cat (Chinese name Haomao), which was introduced in Thailand earlier in February. It’s based on the automaker’s Lemon platform, measuring 4,235 mm long, 1,825 mm wide and 1,596 mm tall with a 2,650 mm wheelbase.
Power comes from a single electric motor
that makes the equivalent of 145 PS and 210 Nm of torque, all of which is sent
to the front wheels through a single-speed transmission. The 0-50 km/h sprint
takes 3.8 seconds, and the claimed top speed is 150 km/h. The Good Cat tips the
scales at 1,510 kg and offers 228 litres of boot space, though this can be
expanded to 858 litres with the rear seatbacks folded.
There are two battery capacities
available, 47.8 kWh and 59.1 kWh. The smaller unit offers 401 km of range,
while the larger pack gives up to 501 km. No charging figures have been
released, but GWM said a full charge via standard AC charging takes around
eight hours. DC fast charging allows the battery to be charged from 30% to 80%
SoC in 30 minutes, though its maximum DC draw rate has yet to be specified.
For suspension, it gets MacPherson struts
up front and a torsion beam setup at the back. Wheel sizes are either 17 or 18
inches, but that depends on trim level. The Ora Good Cat is also equipped with
Ora Pilot Driving, which includes adaptive cruise control, automated throttle
control and intelligent curve assist. Also included is a function called Wisdom
Dodge, which steers the vehicle away from large vehicles in adjacent lanes
whilst remaining in its own lane.
Other features include front collision
warning, AEB, blind spot detection, lane departure warning, rear collision
warning, rear cross-traffic alert and Ora Pilot Parking. The last item offers
AI point-to-point memory parking, meaning the vehicle is capable of learning
and remembering routes to parking spaces via satellite navigation and
ultrasonic radar. When the driver arrives in a “familiar territory,” the car
will automatically find a space and park itself. In China, the Ora Good Cat
ranges from 103,900 yuan to 143,900 yuan.
