The numbers

Range under every standard it is tested to, the China list price beside the UK one, company-car tax by year, and charge time by charger power. A row we cannot source is left off, never guessed.

Who actually makes it?

The UK essentials

GWM withdrew the ORA 03 from new UK sales in April 2026. Historic 2025 UK material describes 48 kWh and 63 kWh battery options, 193 miles and up to 260 miles WLTP, a 67 kW maximum DC rate, and the warranty terms listed below. Treat these as historical specifications. For a used car or remaining dealer stock, verify trim, VIN, battery condition, service record, warranty eligibility and price directly with the seller and an authorised GWM retailer.

Honest pros & cons

The ORA 03’s retro design, safety equipment and generous cabin space remain relevant when assessing a used example. The small boot and modest rapid-charging rate are practical trade-offs. It is no longer a current new-car alternative: compare used prices and condition, and verify the remaining warranty and service route for the exact vehicle.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the GWM Ora 03 cost in the UK?
The GWM Ora 03 starts at £24,995 for the Pure trim (48 kWh LFP, 193 miles WLTP), rising to £29,995 for the Pro (63 kWh NMC, 261 miles WLTP) and £32,995 for the GT, which adds sport styling on the same battery and range.
What is the range of the GWM Ora 03?
The entry-level Pure trim manages 193 miles WLTP from its 48 kWh LFP battery, while the Pro and GT trims reach 261 miles WLTP using a larger 63 kWh NMC battery.
Is the GWM Ora 03 a good car?
Reviews are mixed. What Car? rated the Ora 03 just 2/5, and its 228-litre boot is very small next to rivals like the MG4's 363 litres. On the plus side, it earned a record 5-star Green NCAP score of 97%, with the highest charging efficiency ever tested, at 93.2%.
Does the GWM Ora 03 have a good warranty?
The UK Ora 03 comes with a 5-year unlimited-mileage vehicle warranty plus an 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty. The mileage cover is unlimited, but at 5 years the vehicle warranty is shorter than the 7-year cover offered by MG, Omoda and Kia.
What was the GWM chip-gate scandal?
In 2021, Great Wall Motors faced over 1,500 complaints after customers found Intel chips fitted to cars that had been sold with promises of Qualcomm Snapdragon processors. This chip-gate history is part of GWM's record and is worth knowing when weighing trust in the brand.
