Great Wall Motor And The Ora Cat EV Is In Malaysia
Great Wall Motor Malaysia Subsidiary Officially Opens
For months there have been speculation about the arrival of Great Wall Motor China in Malaysia. It first started with the ‘sighting’ of the Ora Good Car electric car in Port Klang.
Then came the news of the launch of the Ora Good Cat before 2022 Christmas and the suggested selling price of RM138k.
Soon after there was news of Great Wall Motor having a full running management office in the heart of Kuala Lumpur and their huge investment in Malaysia to have a line-up of electric cars and more in the coming year.
Meanwhile, in case you were wondering, the Ora Good Cat is a front wheel drive electric vehicle with a 105kW electric motor.
This 1510kg vehicle manages a 210Nm of torque which allows an acceleration time from rest to 100km/h in 8.0 seconds and a top speed of 150km/h which should be avoided as our highways allow a maximum legal top speed of just 110km/h. The Lithium Ion battery capacity is 47.8 kWh.
