Key Insights
Does the advertised $13,034 price reflect the Ora 5's true retail cost and will that be the same outside China?
The lowest price cited (about $13,034) reflects a time-limited discounted domestic Chinese launch price after trade-in and promotional incentives, not the standard guided retail price; GWM lists higher undiscounted guide prices for each trim, and international pricing will vary by market due to taxes, import costs, local specifications, and dealer pricing so the $13,034 figure should be treated as a promotional China-only starting price rather than a guaranteed global retail price.
What are the Ora 5's battery, range and charging specifications that affect real-world cost and usability?
The Ora 5 offers two lithium‑iron‑phosphate (LFP) battery options — roughly 45.3 kWh and 58.3 kWh — with CLTC-claimed ranges of about 480 km and 580 km respectively; both variants use fast-charging capable chemistry (manufacturer reports 30–80% charges in about 20 minutes in some sources) but real-world range and charging times will depend on driving conditions, climate, and charger power available.
