Cycle & Carriage (C&C) officially launched the ORA Good Cat 03 today, alongside the opening of the Great Wall Motors (GWM) showroom.
Prospective EV buyers in Singapore have a wealth of options when picking out a new EV, and now they have a new option – with the ORA Good Cat.
Officially named the Good Cat 03, this electric feline was officially launched in Great Wall Motors’ (GWM) new showroom located at 239 Alexandra Road, which will be the new home for future ORA models.
If the ORA Good Cat looks familiar to some, that’s because its chief designer is former Porsche designer Emanuel Derta. And it isn’t that tiny either. At 4,235mm long, 1,825mm wide and a wheelbase of 2,650mm, the Good Cat is similar in size to an Audi A3.
Its opening price is $161,999, and it sits as a Cat A COE model. A single front electric motor punches out 105kW and 210Nm of torque, enabling the Cat to rock the century sprint in 11 seconds, climbing to a top speed of 150km/h.
The Singapore variant will receive a 63kWh battery, giving it an effective range of 420km (WLTP). ORA claims an efficiency of 6km/kWh.
It may look cute, but the ORA Good Cat is also equipped with an extensive list of safety features. Six airbags, Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, Intelligent Evade and Lane Departure Warning, the list goes on, so you’ll be assured that you are safe on the roads.
Parking is easy too, with a 360-degree view camera and Auto Parking Assist, which can assist for reverse and parallel parking manoeuvres.
Vivid and cheerful are feelings you’ll find in the cabin of the ORA Good Cat. Front runners get electrically adjustable front seats with ventilation and massage functions, a wireless smartphone charger, a panoramic sunroof, and a pair of 10.25-inch displays, with Apple CarPlay built into the infotainment system.
“Based on recent market research, 67% of existing petrol vehicle car owners indicated that they will likely sell their current ride by 2025, of which half of them are considering switching to an EV or a hybrid car,” said Mr Wilfrid Foo, Managing Director – Direct Motor Interests, Jardine Cycle & Carriage.
“We are thrilled to introduce the ORA Good Cat 03 Electric into the Singapore market and we look forward to unveiling more sustainable options in partnership with GWM as we embrace the electric revolution together.”
Mr Vudhigorn Suriyachantananont, Vice President of Marketing for ASEAN of Great Wall Motor added, “GWM is a global intelligent technology company with 32 years of automotive manufacturing experience, and a rising brand among Chinese automotive brands in the global market. We are confident that the stylish design, remarkable performance, and advanced features of the ORA Good Cat 03 Electric will captivate Singaporean drivers as it did in other parts of the region such as Thailand and Malaysia.”
For those who wish to check out this feline for yourselves, it’s now available and sitting pretty in the ORA Singapore showroom.
