GWM Australia has announced that its new Ora 5 electric small SUV has arrived in Australia ahead of imminent deliveries. Priced from just $33,990 driveaway, the Ora 5 is one of the cheapest electric small SUVs and also one of the cheapest electric vehicles available on the new car market.

According to GWM, deliveries of the Ora 5 to GWM dealer showrooms across all states are expected within the coming days, meaning that prospective buyers can now book a test drive with their local dealer and get their first behind-the-wheel experience of the highly anticipated new model.

The Ora 5 originally debuted for the Australian market at the Melbourne Motor Show in April and since then, has received nearly 3,000 expressions of interest.

A 150kW/260Nm front-mounted motor drives the Ora 5 and it hits 100km/h in 8.0 seconds.
