Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The GWM Ora 5 is a B-segment SUV for drivers who want five seats, front-wheel drive and a petrol-hybrid/REV powertrain rather than a pure EV. It is offered in one HEV form, priced from RM115,000, with a 1,499 cc powertrain and a two-speed automatic transmission.

Ora 5 in 2026 — what's new

The Ora 5 is a new-generation 2026 B-SUV for Malaysia. Bookings for the sole HEV variant open ahead of its November 2026 launch, and the model is confirmed for local CKD assembly. The range consists of a 1.5-litre turbo hybrid Ora 5 HEV, with more than 1,100 km of WLTP range stated for the Malaysian-market car. There is one five-seat, front-wheel-drive variant.

Verdict

The Ora 5 arrives with a clear brief: a five-seat B-SUV using a 1.5-litre turbo hybrid system rather than a battery-electric drivetrain. More than 1,100 km of claimed WLTP range is its headline number, while local CKD assembly is confirmed. Its RM115,000 asking price and sole-variant line-up keep the range simple, but the final equipment detail remains important before a purchase decision.
