    You know what, I like the fact Ora are doing something different, a little weird and wacky but at least its not another boxy, bland suv. Love in the interior so the outside wouldn't bother me so much.

      But SUVs are all cool and different😭😭😭 Fang Cheng Bao Leopard 5 is like the coolest car in the world, and the Yangwang U8 is so massive and luxurious and offroad worthy, and Li Auto L9 is like a budget GLS in which you can point to the window and say "open this", and Hongqi E-HS9 is SOOOO GORGEOUS😭😭😭😭😭

    In this vehicles exterior styling I see: VW old Beetle in the front, the Panamera as mentioned in the video, Bugatti vibes with the wheel to wheel arch, Tesla Model 3 in the roof/windows, and from the rear, Bentley Continental GT. That being said, as funky as it is, I like it a lot!!

    I'll admit the front looks a bit unfinished proportions wise and it clearly should have been a Liftback (especially with such a narrow opening) but I can't help liking it regardless.

    My wife likes this car very much while I m watching the video. I checked the specs online about Lighting Cat, highest speed 170KM, not fast enough comparing with Tesla Model 3. But, To a tesla owner, this Lighting Car is not a bad choice for a second EV in the family.

    The folks that designed the side-sculpting & rear wheel moldings must've been temps that worked when the Porsche-style designers were off duty. Both styles are cool enough, but they fit together like fudge and sauerkraut :^{
    Overall, however, they've got something unique that everyone's going to take a second look at.

    The greatest issue for me with electric cars ( and I'm an EV owner since 2015 ) is the DC charging infrastructure, aka fast charging network, and cold battery charging + recharge times, these have to be greatly improved.
    I got a good 300 - 350 Kms range driving hard in my VW id3 Tour 5, that's 186 - 217 miles and if I drive at slower speeds, say 50-60 Mph I would get 250-280 miles and this is ok for 99% of my driving needs, In the first year of owning the id3 I clocked up around 30,000 miles but, it's when away from home and you need to charge both the infrastructure and poor charging speeds let it down, of course the infrastructure is not the fault of the car but the charge times are mostly down to the id3 when plugged in at a 150 Kw+ charger and a cold battery can greatly increase the charge time becuase while it has a battery heater VW have decided not to use it to precondition the battery even when plugged into the mains unless the battery temp falls below something like 0 Deg C.
    Anyway, electric cars while great have some ways to go before becoming a viable ICE replacement. If we're to go on very long trips I'll take the Diesel Mitsubishi Outlander instead for the sheer convenience of not having to endure a bad infrastructure but also poor charge times.
    My BMW i3 had a small petrol generator, called the Rex, and when the battery got to 6% the generator would kick in to provide as much range as you want while there's Petrol in the tank, the generator never drove the wheels, it acted strictly as a generator but you also had the option to turn on the generator once the charge got to 70% so you could turn it on on higher speed roads to preserve battery power then use that on slower roads and/or in town/city driving, it was really a great piece of engineering.
    The Rex allowed complete independence of the public charging network and also completely avoided the low charging power of a cold battery which I saw as little as 22 Kw on DC.
    The one I had was the 33 Kwh, shame they didn't make a larger EV with similar tech instead of pure ev or PHEV with the engine as the main source of power and tiny useless battery, the i3 was an amazing car.

    Shame you didn’t research this car first before reviewing . The former Porsche designer designed the Ora range and now works for GWM
    You don’t need a bigger screen, you failed to mention voice control for turning in and off ac and open and closing windows .
    This car has been tested in AustraliA and reviewers seem to disagree with you on nearly every point . It’s extremely quiet interior, most comfortable drive in it’s class .
    You seem quite biased from the beginning , which made your review seem under researched

I get it, you want to appeal to drivers who like physical buttons, but THIS IS A BAD WAY TO DO IT!!
