Verdict
At RM109,800, the GWM Ora Good Cat asks RM8,912 more than the RM100,888 MG 4, yet the MG brings a 64 kWh battery, 435 km range and 150 kW DC charging against 57.7 kWh, 400 km and 60 kW. Its 200 hp rear motor, 363-litre boot and 2,705 mm wheelbase make it the more capable long-distance and family hatch. The Ora counters with lower RM80 annual road tax, a 3.3 kW V2L supply, panoramic sunroof and notably richer parking assistance. For most Malaysian buyers, the MG’s mechanical and practical gains outweigh the saving on road tax.
Pick the GWM Ora Good Cat if a panoramic sunroof, powered boot, auto parking and its 3.3 kW V2L output matter more than range, charging speed and boot capacity.
Pick the MG 4 if you want 200 hp, 435 km of range, 150 kW DC charging and a 363-litre boot for less money.
