Is this the purr-fect electric supermini?

If you're not familiar with Ora - and it's entirely forgivable if you're not - then it's a new car brand from China that's part of Great Wall, the same company that a few years ago brought us the Steed pickup truck.

The intriguingly named Funky Cat is the firm's first offering in the UK, and it's an all-electric five-door supermini with a focus very much on style. It'll cost you around £32,000, and its 169bhp electric motor is fed by a 45kWh battery that'll rapid charge at speeds up to 64kW, with a full charge earning you an official WLTP range figure of 193 miles.

In this CarGurus UK video review, Vicky Parrott assesses Ora's new offering in a variety of areas, such as practicality, quality, technology, affordability, and of course, what it's like to drive.

The CarGurus verdict

The Ora Funky Cat is an intriguing proposition. It looks interesting, feels classy inside and has impressive tech and passenger space. But for every win that the Ora delivers, it seems to also serve up a huge flaw. Like having loads of rear passenger space but a tiny boot, loads of comfort equipment but no heated seats, and high-end tech but a touchscreen that’s a total pain to use when driving.

In truth, Ora isn’t expecting to sell a lot of Funky Cats, with estimates for sales at a middling 5000 per year. Its purpose, really, is to try and earn brand awareness amongst UK buyers, and to cement the brand as a more premium proposition rather than a budget offering that many may assume would be the case. Overall, we suspect it’ll achieve that, and we also suspect that it won’t be long before Ora does start to disrupt the established European car makers. But, in the context of the many rival electric cars that you can get for the same money, the Ora Funky Cat is a long way off the best or most recommendable option of its peers.
