ORA Funky Cat clinches Which? Best Buy award

Consumer organisation Which? has awarded ORA Funky Cat with a Best Buy in the medium-sized car category.

ORA Funky Cat achieved an overall test score well above the average for other new and used cars tested by the organisation.

ORA Funky Cat is also currently rated by Which? as the best new electric car for under £35,000, beating two key electric rivals.

Additionally, ORA Funky Cat has been ranked the fourth best medium-sized car overall, across all fuel types. GWM ORA’s launch model excelled in areas such as driving dynamics where it achieved a five star rating for its ‘smoothness of power delivery’.

Commenting on the driving experience, Which? reported: “ORA Funky Cat’s performance is ideal for easy everyday driving. In typical EV fashion, it feels especially spritely at low speeds, and has sufficient reserves for safe overtaking and acceleration even at higher speeds.”

The review goes on to say: “During cornering, the ORA Funky Cat feels both agile and predictable, and the steering is responsive.”

Commenting on the Which? Best Buy Award, Toby Marshall, managing director, GWM ORA UK said: “We’re absolutely delighted with the rating that ORA Funky Cat achieved as part of the Which? in-depth review. Known as being one of the most credible and trustworthy sources of information for consumers in the UK, Which? has really shone a light on some of ORA Funky Cat’s most impressive features.

"It is also testament to the hard work of GWM teams across the board in creating such a highly commended electric car. With this in mind, I look forward to introducing more of our fantastic GWM ORA products to the UK market very soon.”

Which? goes on to round off its review of ORA Funky Cat by saying “ORA Funky Cat is a credible new addition to the UK EV market from a fledgling manufacturer, and a worthy Best Buy model. It will appeal in particular for its nippiness and agility.”
