Verdict
At RM109,800, the GWM Ora Good Cat costs RM4,000 less than the RM113,800 Nissan Kicks e-Power and brings a 57.7-kWh battery, 400-km EV range and 60-kW DC charging. It is also better equipped for driver assistance, with blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control. The Kicks counters with SUV bodywork, a 423-litre boot against 250 litres, plus 280 Nm from its motor versus 210 Nm. Pick the Ora for EV running and kit; choose the Nissan if rear cargo capacity matters more.
Pick the GWM Ora Good Cat if you want a 400-km EV, lower RM109,800 entry price and substantially more driver-assistance and parking kit.
Pick the Nissan Kicks e-Power if you need the SUV body style and its much larger 423-litre boot.
