The Ora Cat GT is what happens if a Porsche Panamera 4 Sport Turismo and a Fiat 500 had an unholy baby.
yes, yes ... agree, but i think thats a cute baby :)
Wait until you see the Lightning Cat 😉
No, had a baby with a mini.
Chinese Baby Copy 😆😅🤣
Exactly what I thought
I saw many British people under Fully Charged Show episode comments section complaining the starting price of GBP25000 is too expensive. Well, Renault Zoe listed price starts from GBP27600 in the UK. Ora Cat looks small but is actually quite big. If they think Ora Cat doesn't deserve GBP25000, feel free to buy Renault Zoe, an outdated EV based on a ICE platform...And to some people who say GBP25000 is a lot more expensive than price in China, prices in China are quoted AFTER government subsidies and VAT (13%) is a lot lower and Vehicle tax (10%) is waived in China for EV. Meanwhile, there are 10% import duty and 20% VAT in the UK. There are logistics and dealership costs to consider as well...
@Tristan Collins China has cheaper options, such as the best selling ev car the Wuling Mini EV, price at $4500.
But Opel gave you Vauxhall. Just wait and see.
Cars made in Europe will be cheaper due to less shipping costs and free trade agreement, Chinese made EV will get a higher import duty.
I hear they throw in a free Uyghur as an alternative to autonomous self driving
yes it's too expensive as is the zoe. they need to be the same price as the ICE car equivalent circa £15k
If it hits EU @ a price level of 25k€ it will be a very attractive option. For more than that, the competition is already fierce. So..... the car is finally here, let's wait for the price (and trim) levels...
I ve test-drived ORA cat at a dealer, surprisingly It is quite fast and it has big space inside. A faster GT cat is quite appealing, with that price.
From what I have seen the Cat in UK will get the more powerful motor as standard so expect all models to do the 0-60 in around 7 seconds
@@gregb1599 wow thats kinda slow dam oh well
If the acc. is of importance, buy a Porsche, Lambo, Aston M or Ferrari instead. 40 - 60 is more important if you are a normal driver and not a "red light freak".
@@bafattvahetere Never tried those you mentioned. Maybe no chance in the future. I have a model 3, and planning to buy another EV for my wife.
@@KingOstrichGamer LoL 6.9 is not slow, especially for EVs that are much quicker at lower everyday speed anyway.
For comparison it is faster than my Golf to 60 and much faster than my Golf to 30... which is as expected, the old beat up postal van EVs we have running around may lose in a proper quarter mile but around city traffic they feel like Tesla Plaid.
@Claes Gilered Actually any EV would be a better fit for "red light freaks" since they will out accelerate most ICE cars to the speed limit.
I agree about the GT's modern styling mods taking away from the retro look. It reminds of the Mini Cooper Works, a cool design ruined with good faster bits stuck on.
Where tf are you people seeing "retro" anything in this ? I only see a chinese toy like buble, no retro styling anywhere ahahaha
It will always be the Good Cat to me. I so want one and then a big dog to park next to it !
lmao nice
Can you cover more of those Geely Geometry and BYD Electric cars?
The GT will appeal to boys and the standard Cat will appeal to girls IMHO. Reminds me of the MG Metro of the 1980s with it's go fast stripes and red seat belts. The GT is definitely a boy racer car without the added higher insurance costs of a hotter hatch - which should appeal to younger buyers who face very high insurance costs.
Representing senior citizens I think the retro look is great! I hate most of the “new” dragon/tiger/fish or whatever front end they are coming out with these days. I don’t want my car to look like it was styled after a carnival spaceship ride. My 2013 BMW X3 looks as good today as the day I bought it……classic style, not gimmicks.
I love the morden look with the Retro I am huge fan! I'm gonna buy one of these when I can
1:19 not brakes, that's an air curtain for aero porpoises. If you look directly in fornt of the tire, you'll see a rectangular hole. That's where the air is coming out
Great vids 👍 we just got CAT GT a week ago, and charger installed, in China here I think it is great value for money (design, performance, range)
Nice, the cars you review are now going international
I wish it will come to Malaysia.
It's adorable, but I agree with you that the Good Cat is much more cohesive in everything.
Please bring it to the STATES!
It will happen is Sandy Munroe is to be believed as he did a video about that subject.
Black cat or white cat, if it can catch mice, it is a good cat
Cute. My Mom would love the styling.
Out of 3 Oras, I prefer the Punk Cat because it's shaped like the classic Beetle.
No one has done a review of the Punk Cat which is inspired by the classic Beetle but is a four door.
I love the interior though i doubt they would have good customer service when they sell here in the UK
Any chance that you'll review the Verano Pro GS? I find it quite attractive, but the powertrain seems a bit lacklustre for the GS badge. I'd like to see an English language review, as I can't understand the Chinese ones.
it look really beautiful
I want more Chinese cars available, they are of great quality! We got a « lower specs » version of the good cat in Thailand, I wished the brought the GT too…
I would not say double but 1.5x maybe yes. The car is imported so there are for sure the various charges and fees applying + there is no government discount for EVs (they do support local manufacturing though).
Another thing to note is prices in RMB are already inclusive of support for EV (unless I am mistaken).
Now there are some perks given to thai customers not included in Chinese prices but overall there is also some features gone.
No hongqi in Thailand (unless using an importer)
is wuling honguang ev available there too??
damn thailand so lucky, here in indonesia there is little option of EV car. The "Cheapest" EV car in indonesia is hyundai kona with price of $48.000. I hope in the future Wuling will sell their mini EV to my country
my Nikon camera made in Thailand is perfect and it still works well today 👍🏻
⚡💪🏼ORA CAT
😍🤩🤩
Great Content as usual 👍😎
It's on show at Fully Charged live this weekend in the UK. Going to see it on Sunday , it's on my short list for when my Ioniqs lease is up next year
Please come to the US 🇺🇸😢🙏
I think that a white stripe would be much more cohesive on periwinkle. Losing the black and red accents would help a lot. Is the blue interior available for the periwinkle car?
Waiting for used UK models in a couple of years to import to Kenya
It's the Good Cat I can't wait for it to come to the US
They had every opportunity to name it the bad cat.
Love the look.
A very interesting car!
Color coordinated fanny pack. I approve... 👍
The center stripe should run down the bumper covers. I'm sure somebody in China will come up with an aftermarket kit for this.
I wish it is available in the US as well. It looks kinda like my Porsche Cayman.
Great video! Can't wait till you get the punk cat/ballet cat & lightning cat.
Good Cat comes to Thailand this month, with starting price 1,000,000 baht or $30,000 usd or 200,000 RMB for the entry 400km range. Kind of expensive vs what Chinese domestic market offers.
I guess it depends on the import fee , your country tax for important vehicles , and obviously the local dealer gets a cut .
I have a question though , does Thailand provide tax incentive for ev ?
@@dhekerlansari8325 No. And The govn tax the Good Cat or Cat the same as ICE cars.
too expensive in Thailand.
It should get cheaper once the Thailand plant starts manufacturing the Ora brand there
Someone needs to bring a car like this to North America. Looking at you VW with your id3
This car looks great and would kill it in north America. The price is amazing
Reminds me a lot to the Renault TwinRun Concept
What about range of the two battery types.
good cat is the GT cat
I see some Alfa Romeo MITO vibes from the front.
Can you do a video of the lightning cat? :D
If this ends up being £200 or less a month on lease i would have it
Think I'm going for this car looks nice inside and I like the carbon fiber, my vw is rusted round the wheel arches with driving on gritted roads In winter so the carbon fiber should protect the car better.
0:41 who cut around the "R" badge Stevie Wonder
God I wish we got these in the US...
No! It's Made I China. We already have to many products with that label here in the USA.
Looks like Alfa Romeo Mito.
The basic car looks much better without the stick on go faster bits, it is also the same performance.
I like the GT over the original CAT but the racing stripe is way over for my age thought.
At first sight I think that's a VW Beetle
The performance figures contradict the reports in the UK press who say there is no increase in power on the GT - I hope you're right and they're wrong! I agree with you on the looks - I think the 'GT' bits look like tacky aftermarket add-ons. Thanks for the updated review.
UK will only get the higher trim level in both the standard and GT versions, I think.
If you listen he says both the standard Cat and GT get the more powerful motors so the non GT should still do the 0-60 in around 7 seconds
I mean for the European market
@@gregb1599 - the early reports in the UK are giving a 0-62 in 8.9 seconds and they still haven’t confirmed the price yet, so we will have to wait and see.
@@Petelmrg Which does not make any sense if the Cat has the more powerful motor as in China the GT has the 126kw motor giving that performance. Every UK review is getting the same info so can only report on what they are given and being Chinese lots probably has been lost in translation.
Flat tires?
It somehow reminds me of the mitsubishi FTO.
Lol just bought a Good Cat GT last month and sold my 1-year Good Cat
Since Ethan insists to wear this bag around his body, he could have put a red one to fit with the car’s red details
不错
😅I work in the TaiZhou GWM plant where this car be made，and now production is not up to the domestic order and we still made tailand version
When is punk cat and lightning cat?
@@reginald7214 lightning cat will be produced in a new plant in suzhou which is the joint investment of GWM and BMW
@@reginald7214 next year 2nd season
@@ryansong3956 awesome! Thank you!
That is really odd as if the Chinese plant cannot build enough for the local left hand drive market then why make right hand drive models for Thailand and other right hand drive markets? Maybe that is why they are more expensive in Thailand as they can make more money exporting the cars?
Bring to usa
Finally...
If this also have a sort of quality it will be a killer.
6000 already booked in Thailand pre-sale it is a hit
Agree the standard Cat looks better. Simplicity
Ethan have you been working out brother? Noticed that you've gotten beefier in each recent vids.
It would have been better to export their smaller ORA R1 EV which is a smaller 4 door with plenty of great features and a fantastic small city car perfect for Europe. The top spec one here in China has a 36kwh battery with over 400km of range for $12.5k USD. They would sell thousands. Great little commuter 4 door that’s super cheap to run and service. That’s what the people want. And I hope that’s what they get!
Then people will complain that it's just another "cheap" Chinese brand... You know, the usual Sinophobia crowd. This is Ora's halo car. Fully equipped with a unique design for pretty normal price. If quality is good then it'll change consumer perception.
But you would have e bikes and scooters passing that very underpowered 36kw EV!
@@gregb1599 it’s a 36 Kwhour battery mate. The car does 0-50 in 5.6 seconds. Top speed 105 km/h. More than enough for a commuter. It’s loaded with features including heated massage seat in the top spec, front collision warning and automatic breaking, 6 airbags, intelligent cruise assist, full screen safety system no more blind spots. With 400 km of range it’s a no brainer. It looks great too.
@@petercotegolf Its name is "Black Cat"
@@petercotegolf It's got a 33kwh battery and a 35kw motor it's NEDC (Not Even Dam Close) is 301 km so less around 25-30% gives it a real world driving range of 225km. So please get your facts straight!
This is a win electrict car if the battery is reliable.
A more neutral color grading for the video would be totally fine, don't have to make it as yellow as it is now ;)
Definitely like the looks of the standard style as well. Very disappointed with the charging rate.
Such a cute vehicle - a modern day beetle ? Not sure I can resist this vehicle although I vowed never to buy a Chinese vehicle - I hate to buy from our enemy but this car is so damn good looking.
More like a Mini Cooper. The Chinese are following along the Koreans into the international car market and they have some respectable builds but they have to make changes to comply with EU and American safety standards.
@Zack Smith with a ‘ friend’ like China - who needs enemies. Now put that in your naive pipe and smoke it.
It's coming to Europe... For twice the money, no particular bargain!
Not twice the money, you need to adjust for VAT and Chinese tax credits that don't apply. The real price difference is mostly accounted for by shipping costs and increased equipment.
@@quixomega What's the tax credit in China for EVs?
@@Ragorar For EV in China, Tax free (Saving 10 %), Govnment subsidies(Saving another 10%), that's 20% less price than ICE cars.
@@jman8128 Wow that's a good way to electrify your fleet
@@Ragorar What is that means? I was trying to answer your question.
Looks like Alfa Romeo mito
Those are not brake cooling air intakes! The slits leading to the arch-liner on newer cars are to make an air curtain across each front wheel to reduce wheel well turbulence, so they are there to reduce drag! They must have a name?
Inlets
Rumor has it, that even Chuck Norris is afraid to ask what he keeps in the fanny pack
4 wheel drive and faster 0-100 (below 5 seconds) and it would have been my next car.
Shocked to see the sensors on the car.
The rear design bothers me somewhat...where is it ?..it appears to be missing in action.
Fanny pack boy 😝
Rapid Cat
Cute car but they went a bit far with the red accents especially on the dash and the wheels. I think a standard cat with more power would have been a better choice for the Euro market. Nice retro look and understated power, the GT may be a flop.
The standard Cat in Europe will have the same power as the GT in China. I wish we had the same option in China actually, but perhaps they will use the same specs on the next model year.
The Good Cat looks much better... cleaner.
I wish you could get the powertrain of the GT on the "normal" Cat. The GT-Line is a little too - trashy (sorry!) for my taste. The ridiculus spoiler, the fake-carbon - looks like hardware store tuning for a fifth hands bmw e36 selected by an 18 y.o.
This one shall called punk cat, a cat suit up in adidas and dye the hair Green. But not pumping enough steriod and working out. Lol, in all honesty, they shall put more steriod in this GT cat though, WADA and PETA shall take a back seat on this one.
@@user-jh6vt8vx4v there's actually going to be a punk cat. VW Beetle copy.
If you live anywhere except form China, there is only one drivetrain. From the base model to the GT Line they all have the same under-pinnings. Only the trim level changes. Oh! I forgot two battery pack sizes.
Looks ok , but I wouldn’t pay more than $30000-$32000 k. Australian Tops
0:41 What’s with the TERRIBLY-cut vinyl around the letter R?
Really, how many car factories are there in China? 15 or more?
There are a total of 169 automakers in China, including new energy car manufacturers and traditional auto companies. These companies have a total of 365 factories.
@@kevinrich5222 Wow! One per day. China leads and rules.
@@bafattvahetere The total production capacity of these factories exceeds 70 million vehicles per year. However, China's annual car sales are generally 20-25 million, reaching 28 million at the highest point. Overall, the capacity utilization rate is about 35%. This capacity utilization rate is a bit low globally.
IS THAT A JOJOS REFERENCE??!!!
The colour of the charge port doesn't seem to match the rest of the car and also the tail lights are small and low down, doesn't look safe in the European market
I saw a car yesterday in the USA with the super low blinkers and it was way easier to see not jammed into the brake light spot. I was very suprised as I thought like you that it would not work. Not sure the brand as I was no close enough to see in the dark.
@@reginald7214 it was probably Korean. Kia and Hyundai SUVs have had lights mounted low in the rear bumpers for years and they stand out more than when they shared housings with the other lights higher up
@@Noah_E thanks!
Why the cat is more expensive in the UK than USA? The pound is stronger!
But we will never get a coupe from the ORAbrand, even though it would look great as one.
Its a bit like the Mini in the good days mixed with the still stunning Fiat 500. The interior looks inspired on Mercedes and looks awesome. Very nice addition to the mostly ugly Transformer-style-designed EV’s on the roads in Europe today.
I think it's a really Nice car, but this sport GT not so much i think the red color doesn't match well and it should have a harder sportier driving
if VW had made a 2dr EV-BEETLE they would have sold TONS~! ..and available as a RAG-TOP!!!
A Beetle ID based on the MEB platform is a good number of years away. I expect it to break with tradition by being offered only in a four door model.
@@NormanF62 It would be welcomed as a first EV for most of us! They would have sold many!
You really need to look into the colour grading. It's tooooo yellow.
This is a Citroen C3 with Alfa Mito frontend
The GT looks like a bad after thought.
I'm allergic to cat
It does not have a CATalytic converter as is not required on a EV.😩😆
are you sure its 63kw/h battery? i drive the GT many times for tests and max battery size is 59.1kw/h.
where does the 63 come from? i doubt that they install a bigger battery in the non chinese version but then reduce the range to 42km max.
(450km range in china for GT and 510km non GT)
from my driving experience of both versions i will buy the GT for sure soonish. so much more fun and since i have a charger in my garage i dont care about 50km less range because i can charge it almost for free everyday anyway. the only CON i see is the not changeable interior! this really sucks because i hate the red parts everywhere. outside i will install foil and make the whole car black and white. but inside? change all seat belts and leather will cost alot efforts... the price for the GT here is exact same as non GT so i will overlook the cons and get the GT. alot fun drive. front wheels leaving rubber on the street every time you punch it. haha!
Chinese probably use net capacity while other countries use gross capacity.
The smaller battery use LFP so does not need a buffer as they can be charged to 100% and down to 0% and not damage the battery so shows one size.
While NCA in the larger should only be charged to 80% and never down to zero so have a built in buffer to protect over charging and under discharging.
Seriously love the Cat, not terribly impressed with the GT or the Ballet though.
Get looks good , just over priced by about 10-12 k
mini cooper copy cat?
It is Chinese. They have over 100 auto companies and zero designers. They all just copy and paste from more established companies from around the world
