Verdict
At RM109,800, the GWM Ora Good Cat costs RM55,200 less than the Renault Zoe yet brings a 57.7-kWh battery, 400 km range and 143 hp. The Zoe answers with a marginally roomier 338-litre boot and far quicker 22-kW AC charging, useful where that supply is available, but its 395 km range is virtually identical. For Malaysian buyers, the Good Cat’s 60-kW DC rate, 3.3-kW V2L function, broader active-safety kit and five-year/150,000-km vehicle warranty make the cheaper car the more complete daily proposition.
Pick the GWM Ora Good Cat if you want to save RM55,200 while gaining 143 hp, 60-kW DC charging, V2L and substantially more safety and parking assistance.
Pick the Renault Zoe if a 338-litre boot and 22-kW AC charging matter more to you than the Good Cat’s lower price and longer warranty.
