GWM Malaysia Introduces new competitive pricing for 2024 ORA GOOD CAT - from RM114k, worth it now?

KUALA LUMPUR: GWM Malaysia has announced that they have adjusted the pricing for the 2024 GWM ORA GOOD CAT electric hatchback, now starting at RM 113,800.

This change introduces a fresh pricing model for both the 400 Pro variant at RM 113,800 and the 500 Ultra variant at RM 143,800. The new pricing comes with comprehensive warranty coverage: a 5-year/150,000 KM full-vehicle warranty, plus 8 years/180,000 KM warranties for both the power battery and the electric motor, including the Electric Motor Control Unit.

GWM Malaysia's Managing Director, Mike Cui An Qi, noted, “With the new selling price, we strongly believe GWM ORA GOOD CAT will become one of the best value EVs, especially within the price
range of RM 120,000. With this strategic pricing, it offers consumers who seek an affordable and elegant EV that comes with a cutting-edge technology and superior performance.”

Added Value for Current Owners

As a show of appreciation to existing GWM ORA GOOD CAT owners, GWM Malaysia is offering an added 2-year vehicle warranty, extending up to 150,000 KM, and an extra 5 years or 75,000 KM of free maintenance, covering parts and labor. This move highlights GWM Malaysia's focus on customer satisfaction and ongoing support.

Special Offers for Festive Season

For the festive period, GWM Malaysia is including a free Home Wall Box Charger and a 3 Pin Portable Charger with every new purchase of a GWM ORA GOOD CAT, valid for registrations until 30 April 2024.

Since its Malaysia debut in November 2022, the GWM ORA GOOD CAT has garnered attention for its eco-friendliness and has received multiple awards, emphasizing its quality and appeal in both the local and international EV markets.

The revision in pricing for the ORA GOOD CAT likely stems from the increasing competitive pressure in the EV market, especially with notable entries like the BYD Dolphin and the soon-to-be-launched MG4, both positioned around the RM100k mark. Faced with such formidable rivals, GWM appears keen on sharpening its competitive edge through more attractive pricing, presenting EV enthusiasts with a challenging yet exciting decision-making scenario among these options.

The ORA Good Cat sets itself apart in the competitive EV market with a range of features that might make it the preferred choice over alternatives like the BYD Dolphin and the MG4. Its unique design merges retro charm with modern flair, appealing to those looking for a vehicle with character and style. Inside, the ORA Good Cat impresses with high-quality materials and a comfortable layout, offering a premium feel that its price rivals struggle to match.

Technology-wise, the ORA Good Cat doesn't disappoint. It comes equipped with a large, user-friendly touchscreen infotainment system that supports advanced connectivity, including wireless smartphone integration, catering to the modern, tech-savvy buyer. Additionally, its efficient driving range addresses the concerns of daily commuters and long-distance travelers alike, positioning it as a practical choice for a variety of needs.

Safety is another strong suit of the ORA Good Cat, boasting an extensive array of features like autonomous emergency braking and lane-keeping assist that enhance passenger protection.
