GWM Ora 07 Long Range vs Performance
Verdict
The GWM Ora 07 Performance costs RM20,100 more and mainly buys far more output: dual motors and 402 hp instead of a single motor and 201 hp, plus a 180 km/h top speed rather than 170 km/h. The trade-off is clear for Malaysia: range drops from 640 km to 550 km and annual road tax rises from RM160 to RM545. Since both use an 83.5 kWh battery, seat five, have 333 litres of boot space and share six airbags with AEB, the Long Range is the calmer buy.
Pick the GWM Ora 07 Long Range if you want the 640 km range, lower RM160 road tax and the same 83.5 kWh battery for less money.
Pick the GWM Ora 07 Performance if the 402 hp dual-motor setup matters more to you than the 90 km range loss and higher RM545 road tax.
