The GWM Ora 5the Chinese brand’s first electric SUV in Australia, will be priced from $33,990 per car when it lands in Australia.
It will arrive in Australian showrooms in June 2026 and will take on rivals such as the BYD Atto 2 and Chery E5 electric SUVs.
The Ora 5 is the second model in GWM’s Ora range of electric vehicles (EV), following the Ora hatch launched here in 2023, and offers more passenger and cargo space but a similarly curvaceous design.
Two model levels are offered, with the Lux priced at $33,990 and the Ultra adding more features – including improved audio, a panoramic glass roof and wireless phone charging – for an additional $3,000.

Taking into account the on-road costs of $31,990 before on-road costs, the $33,990 fare for the BYD Atto 2 is well below the Chery E5, which costs $36,990 before on-road costs.
In larger dimensions, the Ora 5 measures 4471mm long, 1833mm wide and 1641mm high with a wheelbase of 2720mm – 70mm longer than the Ora hatch – while offering 362 liters of cargo space.
It also has 175mm of ground clearance on standard 18-inch ‘four-leaf clover’ alloy wheels and is available in a range of exterior colors including turquoise and pink.
Inside, the interior is available in black or cream depending on the exterior color and features leatherette seats, a 14.6-inch center touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster.
While the Ora 5 is available overseas with a hybrid powertrain, in Australia it will launch exclusively as an electric vehicle, with a 150kW/260Nm electric motor driving the front wheels and paired with a 58.3kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery.
The claimed range is 430 km (WLTC), with DC fast charging of up to 120 kW and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) function with a discharge capacity of up to 6 kW, allowing you to power small devices.
