2026 GWM Ora Price, Specs and Range

What is it?

GWM's retro-styled small electric hatch in its final months of Australian sale. Two grades, Lux and GT, both running a 57.7 kWh LFP battery and a 126 kW front motor. The Ora 5 small SUV replaces it from June 2026, so this car is now a run-out play.

The lineup runs from Lux at $33,990 drive-away, through to GT at $38,990 drive-away. Warranty cover sits at 7 years, unlimited km.

Interior and Technology

7-year unlimited km vehicle warranty plus 8-year unlimited km battery cover, a 57.7 kWh LFP battery good for up to 400 km WLTP, and a heat pump standard for cold-weather range.

228 L boot is small even by city hatch standards, the body is in run-out with no factory replenishment, and the retro styling polarises.

You need a bigger boot, you regularly road-trip (DC peak is mid-pack), or you want the more practical body the new Ora 5 small SUV will deliver from June 2026.
Stock is finite. If dealer drive-away pricing dips meaningfully under $33,990, the Lux is the value pick. Buyers who can wait should drive the Ora 5 small SUV when it lands in June 2026.

The CarTell take

We have not driven this yet. On paper, here is how it stacks up.

Strongest suit on paper: 7-year unlimited km vehicle warranty plus 8-year unlimited km battery cover, a 57.7 kWh LFP battery good for up to 400 km WLTP, and a heat pump standard for cold-weather range.
The trade-off: 228 L boot is small even by city hatch standards, the body is in run-out with no factory replenishment, and the retro styling polarises.
Check before you buy: Stock is finite. If dealer drive-away pricing dips meaningfully under $33,990, the Lux is the value pick. Buyers who can wait should drive the Ora 5 small SUV when it lands in June 2026.
Best suited to: City drivers wanting a compact electric hatch with up to 400 km of WLTP range, warranty-led buyers chasing the 7-year unlimited km vehicle cover and 8-year battery cover, and last-chance buyers happy to take run-out pricing on a finite stock pool.
