ORA Funky Cat is a small electric hatchback from Great Wall Motor’s ORA lineup. It sits in the compact EV segment and uses a five door hatchback body. The Funky Cat focuses on practicality in city and suburban driving with a simple layout and usable cabin space.

The Funky Cat uses a front mounted electric motor and offers battery options around 48 kWh or 63 kWh usable. Range figures under WLTP testing lie in the ballpark of about 190 to around 260 miles depending on battery choice and conditions. AC charging is supported at typical home and workplace levels. DC fast charging capability is around 80 kW peak, allowing a charge from about 15 percent to 80 percent in around 35 to 45 minutes when conditions are right.

Pricing sits toward the affordable end of the compact EV class in markets where it is sold. The Funky Cat suits drivers who need a simple, efficient car for daily travel, short commutes, and local errands. Other ORA models include the ORA Lightning Cat and the ORA 07. Alternatives to consider are the MG4 EV and the BYD Dolphin. Compared with the MG4 EV, the Funky Cat focuses more on interior comfort and simplicity, while the MG4 EV offers broader battery choices and a sportier driving feel.
