GWM Sets Summer 2026 Europe Launch for Ora 5 Compact SUV With Three Powertrains

The plan signals a push to reach mainstream buyers through a broader mix of propulsion and safety tech.

Overview

  • GWM and its German distributor confirmed Tuesday that the Ora 5 will go on sale across Europe, including Germany, in summer 2026 as the first model in a Europe‑focused family.
  • Buyers will get a choice of battery‑electric, full hybrid, or petrol versions, with the BEV using about 58.3 kWh for an advertised 435 km WLTP range and charging at up to 120 kW DC and 11 kW AC.
  • The full hybrid pairs a 1.5‑liter turbo engine with a 1.09 kWh buffer battery and a two‑gear dedicated hybrid transmission, delivering a reported 223 PS and a combined 5.1 l/100 km.
  • Standard driver aids are branded Coffee Pilot Ultra with LiDAR sensors and 23 functions, while the cabin runs GWM’s Coffee OS with a smartphone‑style interface.
  • Official European prices are not out, with media estimates near €30,000 for petrol and about €35,000 for the BEV, and GWM backs the car with a 7‑year/150,000‑km powertrain warranty and an 8‑year/160,000‑km battery warranty as it seeks a stronger foothold after modest earlier sales.
