GWM Australia has revealed local pricing and specifications for its new Ora 5 electric small SUV, which will arrive in Australia in June 2026. Priced from $33,990 driveaway for the entry-level Lux, the Ora 5 is the latest product in GWM’s new energy vehicle line-up and will make its debut at the 2026 Melbourne Motor Show.

While a hybrid drivetrain is available in overseas markets, the Ora 5 will launch in Australia and New Zealand exclusively as an EV. Using a 58.2kWh LFP battery, the Ora 5 is rated at 430km for range on the WLTC cycle. It can be DC fast charged at up to 120kW for a claimed 30 to 80 per cent charge time of approximately 20 minutes, while vehicle-to-load functionality up to 6kW is standard. A 150kW/260Nm front-mounted motor drives the Ora 5.

Measuring 4471mm long, 1833mm wide, 1641mm tall and riding on a 2720mm long wheelbase, the Ora 5 is 238mm longer, 8mm wider, 38mm taller and 70mm longer between the wheels than the Ora hatchback already on sale. Its 362-litre boot is 134 litres larger than the Ora as well.

The Ultra then adds a panoramic glass roof, heated and ventilated front seats, a wireless phone charger and extra speakers.
