Introduced here in April, the all-electric GWM Ora 07 is accessible in Malaysia in two variant guises, a Long Range (which we’ve featured before in a gallery post) and the Performance, seen here on this photo set. Priced at RM189,800 excluding on-road costs, the Ora 07 Performance is the pricier of the duo, by RM20,000.
For the cash, you get an additional motor on the rear, up from the one front motor setup within the Long Range. The twin-motor electric powertrain brings about all-wheel-drive and naturally a bump in output, doubling that on the Long Range to 408 PS and 680 Nm.
As such, sprint time from standstill to 100 km/h is nearly down by half, with the Performance taking 4.3 second to perform that feat, in comparison with the 7.9 seconds needed by the Long Range. Nonetheless, top speed is simply marginally higher at 180 km/h (170 km/h for the LR).
Just like the Ora 07 Long Range, the Performance is supplied with a 83.5 kWh nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery, which might be charged via AC (11 kw, eight hours to full) or DC (88 kW, 32 minutes from 30 to 80% SoC) routes.
The additional punch in performance signifies that it does sacrifice operating range in comparison with the LR, with 483 km of WLTP-rated travel available on a single charge. The LR offers 640 km, but it surely’s price noting that’s on a more lenient NEDC cycle, so the true world numbers, scaled on to WLTP at the least, means the gap does narrow between the 2.
Wheels are 19-inch units, up an inch from that on the LR, presented in a five-oval styled design and shod with 235/45 profile Michelin Pilot Sport EV tyres across all 4 corners. The upper-output variant can also be denoted by red brake calipers.
Inside, the Ora 07 gets a digital, hooded instrument binnacle that houses a ten.25-inch display, while infotainment is provided by a 12.3-inch central display that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For mobile device charging, there’s a Qi wireless charing pad.
The Performance also gets specific brown faux leather upholstery, which is presented in black as standard on the LR, although buyers of the latter can upgrade to this color selection for an additional RM2,500.
Other standard features include keyless entry and begin, a head-up display, power-adjustable front seats with ventilation and massage functions, ambient lighting (replete with a rhythm mode that follows the music you’re playing), an 11-speaker Infinity sound system, a 360-degree camera system and a hands-free powered boot lid.
Safety features on the Ora 07 consist of autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control with stop and go, lane centring assist, an Intelligent Evade system that enables more room within the lane for big vehicles equivalent to lorries, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert with auto brake, traffic sign recognition, park assist and auto high beam.
The GWM Ora 07 Performance, in addition to the Long Range variant, are covered by a six-year, 150,000 km warranty, with an eight-year, 180,000 km warranty on the battery and drive motor.
