Category scores

These are our own numbers, not the manufacturer’s stars. The scale runs from 0 to 100, higher is better, and every figure carries a source with a reference date. Which category weighs more for you is something you know better than we do. How these scores work.

  • Fuel economy 66/100
    Fuel economy: 66 of 100. Source and reference date source: WLTP 17 kWh/100km GT (manufacturer figure) vs. compact EV hatchback segment, indicative · reference date 2026-05-21
  • Sustainability 64/100
    Sustainability: 64 of 100. Source and reference date source: NMC chemistry GT trim (LFP on entry trim) + GWM battery warranty (typically 8 yr/160,000 km, 70% capacity) + LCA indication ICCT 2024 · reference date 2026-05-21
  • Practicality 50/100
    Practicality: 50 of 100. Source and reference date source: Boot 228 l (small for external dimensions), no towing weight homologation in EU lowers score (manufacturer figure) · reference date 2026-05-21
  • Reliability not yet rated
    Reliability: insufficient data. Why no score? source: Too recent for reliable data; EU launch 2022, service network being built up, no representative ADAC breakdown statistics · reference date 2026-05-21
  • Value retention not yet rated
    Value retention: insufficient data. Why no score? source: Too recent for reliable data; GWM brand still short in EU, price changes and rebranding (Funky Cat -> Ora 03) distort the curve · reference date 2026-05-21

Fast charging at a public charger (10→80%)

Fast charging on the road (DC = the rapid charger you find at motorway stops, not home charging): indicative time from 10 to 80 percent, calculated from the specs — not measured by us. Actual time varies with charger, temperature and battery level at the start. The 10→80% window is the standard benchmark because the final stretch (80→100%) deliberately charges slower to protect the battery.
Charging situation10→80% (minutes)
At the car's own maximum charging rate (67 kW) ~ 64
At a 150 kW charger ~ 64
At a 50 kW charger ~ 85
How is this calculated? We assume around 70% of the battery sits in the 10→80% window and an average power around 62% of peak (the curve tapers towards the end). At a fixed charger the power is capped to that charger. An estimate, not a manufacturer figure.

Charging at home uses AC power and is slower: a home wallbox typically delivers 7.4 to 11 kW. That is separate from the fast-charge times shown above.

Frequently asked

What does the GWM Ora 03 cost roughly?

Indicative starting price € 33,990 (reference date 2026-05-21). Not an offer.

What is the WLTP range of the GWM Ora 03?

420 km WLTP (manufacturer figure). Owners typically report less in everyday driving, especially in cold weather. See the reviews below.

How long does fast-charging the GWM Ora 03 take (10→80%)?

Roughly 64 minutes on a 67 kW charger (10→80%, factory calculation, indicative). Actual time depends on battery temperature and the charging curve — the car's charging speed drops as the battery fills.

How big is the battery in the GWM Ora 03?

63.1 kWh usable capacity (manufacturer figure). Check the warranty terms of the specific car for capacity retention.

What does the GWM Ora 03 use in real-world driving?

The factory WLTP figure is 17 kWh/100 km. Owners typically report more in mixed use, with the usual winter penalty. See the owner experiences below.

How much boot space does the GWM Ora 03 have?

228 litres (manufacturer figure). See the spec sheet for the full dimensions.

About the GWM Ora 03 (2024)

Independent spec and rating reference. No offers, no sales.

The Ora 03 is Great Wall Motors' compact electric hatchback, launched in EU markets as the Ora Funky Cat in October 2022 and renamed to Ora 03 in November 2023 as part of a wider GWM brand rationalisation. The styling references mid 20th century European hatchbacks and was widely noted in EU media at launch. The top GT variant uses a 63.1 kWh NMC battery, 171 hp on the front axle and WLTP range around 420 km (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). Lower variants use a smaller 47.8 kWh LFP pack with a shorter WLTP range.

In practice

WLTP consumption is around 17 kWh/100km on the GT (manufacturer figure). Owner reports in EU markets show real world consumption of 17 to 20 kWh/100km in mixed use, with motorway and winter driving pushing higher (small sample, not measured by us). The boot is modest at 228 l with the rear seats up, a recurring point in EU reviews relative to the external footprint. Braked towing weight is not homologated by GWM for the Ora 03 in EU markets; check the official spec sheet for confirmation.

Points to note

The Ora 03 uses GWM's own infotainment with twin 10.25 inch screens. DC charging at around 67 kW is modest by current standards, particularly for the larger 63 kWh pack which charges from 10 to 80 percent in roughly 45 minutes (manufacturer figure). The GWM service network in EU markets is still being built up; check the nearest service point at the official dealer. The brand has been on the EU market too short for an extensive ADAC failure statistic, and the residual value curve is not yet stable.
