GWM Has Already Indicated That the Launch of the Ora GT in Brazil Aims to Compete Directly with the Recently Launched BYD Dolphin.

The automotive industry has undergone a true electric boom. Great Wall Motors (GWM), a famous Chinese automaker, is one of the main players in this innovative landscape and has announced that it will soon bring a major competitor to the Brazilian market. This is the Ora GT, a compact electric car with a low cost that promises to revolutionize the sector.

Objective of the Ora GT and Compete Directly with BYD Dolphin

In an audacious initiative, GWM has outlined its launch strategy and aims to compete directly with the recently launched and successful BYD Dolphin, which surprised the market by selling more than 2,000 units in less than two weeks.

According to internal sources from the company to Portal UOL, the Ora GT will be officially presented to the Brazilian public during the anticipated Interlagos Festival, to be held in São Paulo from July 21 to 23. This is a clear indication of the automaker’s commitment to establishing itself in the electric race in Brazil.

With a rounded, modern, and unique design, the Ora GT presents a style reminiscent of brands like Porsche and Mini, but with a strikingly unique identity. This vehicle stands out, especially in the GT version, which features distinctive wheels, aerodynamic components, and exclusive paint in areas such as side mirrors and bumper ends.

Powered by an electric motor with a power of 145 hp or 173 hp, depending on the version, and with a top speed of 160 km/h, this GWM compact will hit the Brazilian market equipped with a 63 kWh battery, capable of providing a range of up to 400 km on a single charge.

The battery can be recharged with alternating current of up to 22 kW or at rapid charging stations with direct current of 67 kW, ensuring a charge of 0 to 80% in about 45 minutes for the lesser capacity battery, and about 55 minutes for the larger capacity battery.

There are speculations that the Ora GT will be launched in Brazil as early as October 2023. Regarding the price, it is expected to be in the same range as the BYD Dolphin, that is, approximately R$ 150 thousand. This competitive price is likely to shake up the compact electric vehicle market, potentially forcing a reassessment of today’s prices.

Ora GT Achieved Maximum Score in Safety

In terms of safety, the Ora GT leaves nothing to be desired. Rated by Euro NCAP, one of the most renowned automotive safety evaluation programs, the GWM vehicle achieved the maximum score of five stars, excelling in adult safety, child accident safety, pedestrian passive protection, and safety equipment quality.

The launch of the Ora GT in Brazil marks a milestone in the transition to electric mobility in the country. The competitiveness in the vehicle’s price range promises to shake up the market and will certainly provide more options for consumers interested in embracing this new era of the automotive sector. We are eager to see how this story unfolds.
