ORA Funky Cat 2023 Review

This is the ORA Funky Cat!
It’s an all-new electric car from China, and Mat’s about to find out if it has what it takes to rival established brands such as MINI & VW in the small electric car category!
Upon first glance, you may be forgiven for thinking the car looks recognisable. For example, look at it from the rear and it looks similar to a Fiat 500, while from the front it looks pretty similar to the MINI Electric! Clearly the designers must have been influenced by the cars they’re going up against, but that’s not exactly a bad thing!
The inside is pretty well laid out as well. There are good quality materials across the dash and on the doors, and there are two decently sized screens to house the infotainment system and digital dials. They may not be the most intuitive systems, but they work well enough for the size of car.
One key selling point is the tech that comes inclusive! There’s only one trim level available for this car, so that means that things such as electronically controlled seats and 360 parking cameras come as standard.
The car is powered by a 48kWh battery pack along with a single electric motor. This can produce 171hp while it’s good for a claimed range of 193 miles. That’s well up on a MINI Electric, but a fair bit lower than the likes of a VW ID.3.
The ORA Funky Cat costs from £32,000. But does it offer enough to tempt you away from the more established competition? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Just bought the new updated 2024 Thai Ora Cat (LFP battery, USB-c, steering gears, updated 50W wireless charging, Apple /Android play ,etc). And yes, the mirror now has lights! The range also is now closer to 480km per charge (NEDC), so real world range would be around 400km. In the past 6 months, I rented the Ora Ultra 500 two times and drove to the mountainous Chiangmai from Bangkok. From Chiangmai, the Ora made more than >1000 bends up and down the mountains with ease to the town of Maehongsong. Even drove from the town of Pai to Rak Thai (which has no EV chargers) and survived the trip without the car running out of juice. The second time, I took the Ora to the East of Thailand into the town of Chong Mek (Border town Thailand-Laos). Along the way, I drove on big highways in Nakhon Ratchashima region with ease. Leaving most of the Toyotas, Hondas and 3.0 Isuzu pickup trucks in the dust (although I couldn't catch up with Teslas and BYD Seals). Drove great on the bad condition roads in Laos also with ease and comfort. All in all, I got so impressed that I eventually bought one TODAY (25/May 2024). Great car!

I just test drove one of these. It definitely nice and seems quality inside and I should know as I have driven Jaguars and Mercedes with full leather interiors. The quality of the full 360 degree cameras is amazing and the resolution of the screens is very crisp. The screens update very fast and this supports the word on the street that the Chinese insist on recent chipsets inside the cars they buy. They are very latest tech in China which is why this is only the second full electric car available in the UK that has face recognition in it. The look of the dashboard is nicer than the MG4 and feels better thought out and not thrown together. If you want a look at one go online and arrange a viewing or a test drive. My local Ora dealer is part of a Mercedes dealer. It does not look out of place next to Mercedes and Smart cars.

This new ORA Funky Cat looks like a modern electric version of the old legendary Mini Cooper!

[@rasherbasher8203]

I agree🙄

[@martinherrington9499]

Love the design. Execution not perfect. But a lot of people are going to buy this because they’ve fallen in love with it.

I’m Singaporean after 6 months living with it!! I dare give this Ora 8.5/10 and impatiently waiting for their Ora Lighthing hope to get it mid 2023 if I’m lucky ie.

[@Brian-om2hh]

Take a look at the MG4 Joe. It starts at £5000 less.....

[@entropy5431]

It's quite expensive, even for an EV.

They should have made it a rear wheel drive.

Keep up good job reviewing cars. Based on your presentation I bought a car last year Lexus RX. Now you presented new car which I like but what to do with my RX now?

I have found, over a period of more than 50 years, that smaller cars have a larger turning circle than a much larger car. A very good illustration of this is the way my father’s Zephyr 6 turned like a London Taxi, while mother’s Morris Mini Minor took several turns to make it turn about on a major road!!
