Verdict
The BYD Atto 3 costs RM16,000 more, but it is the more useful family EV: its 434-litre boot is 184 litres larger, the wheelbase is 70 mm longer and rear passengers get air-con vents. Its 201 hp/310 Nm motor also has a clear edge over the Ora Good Cat’s 143 hp/210 Nm, while 110 kW DC charging halves the Good Cat’s 60 kW ceiling on paper. The GWM remains the cheaper, lighter hatchback, and brings stronger parking assistance plus extra rear-safety functions. Pick it if those matter more than outright space and charging speed.
Pick the BYD Atto 3 if you need the 434-litre boot, 420 km range and 110 kW DC charging for family use and longer journeys.
Pick the GWM Ora Good Cat if you want to save RM16,000 and value its compact 4,235 mm hatchback body, auto parking and driver’s-seat massage function.
