GWM ORA 5 – TopGear SA First Walkaround & Review

GWM introduced the ORA nameplate in 2023, and back then, the ORA was only offered as an EV. Was it ahead of its time? Possibly so. But, ORA is back, and this time around South Africa gets the all-new GWM ORA 5. GWM has clearly taken notes and has done work to make sure that there is an ORA 5 for everyone. Now offered in 3 powertrains, a 1.5T DCT ICE(internal combustion engine), a 1.5T DHT HEV (Hybrid), and a BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle), the ORA 5 is here to make sure that there’s a flavour for everyone to enjoy. It’s a crossover with loads to offer and then the kicker, it’s remarkably affordable for just how good it is. We got the chance to sample the ORA 5 and all the powertrains on offer ahead of its local launch and it’s proved impressive. With a price range from as low as R364 900 and topping off at R599 900, the ORA 5 is sure to service our market well.
