2024 GWM ORA/GOOD CAT GT REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The GWM Ora GT, also known as the Good Cat, is presented as a sportier variant with styling enhancements and a larger battery. However, the review highlights that despite the 'GT' designation and sporty aesthetics like faux carbon accents and red brake calipers, it shares the same power output as the standard models. The interior receives a significant upgrade with red leather accents, Alcantara seats, and premium features such as seat massaging, heated/cooled seats, and a high-tech dual-display setup, which the reviewer notes are typically found in much more expensive vehicles. Practicality is a mixed bag, with decent cabin tech but limited storage and a cramped rear seat. Charging speeds are considered average, peaking just under 70kW. Performance figures, including a 0-100 km/h time of 7.97 seconds (better than claimed), are respectable for its class. The ride quality is praised for its comfort and refinement, even on rough surfaces, though road noise is noticeable on coarse chip surfaces. The lane-keeping assist system is criticized for being inconsistent and not a true lane-centering function. Ultimately, the reviewer's verdict is that the Ora GT, especially at its asking price of over $50,000 (before discounts), is not compelling enough over lower trims. The recommendation is to opt for the Long Range or entry-level versions, which offer better value, particularly with current discounts.
