Today, GWM ORA is delighted to announce that their first product to launch in the UK has achieved best-in-class results in the ‘Small Family Car’ category as part of Euro NCAP safety tests.

This prestigious safety award is testament to the efforts of GWM ORA to produce a safe, quality and reliable electric vehicle that not only meets European safety criteria, but exceeds it – out performing many key rivals.

ORA Funky Cat achieved the highest score in the ‘Small Family Car’ category overall, based on its results for Adult Occupant Protection, Child Occupant Protection, Vulnerable User Protection and Safety Assist technologies

Commenting about the safety performance of ORA Funky Cat, Euro NCAP commented: “Several manufacturers are showing that Chinese brands can now compete on safety with well-established European brands. In the Small Family Car category, the ORA Funky Cat is exceptionally well equipped and, being at the top of its class, outperformed several familiar brands.

Earlier this year, Thatcham Research also announced ORA Funky Cat as one of the top 10 safest cars to be launched into the UK market, applauded for its impressive active safety tech.

Toby Marshall, Managing Director, GWM ORA UK, commented“We are delighted with the performance of ORA Funky Cat in the latest Euro NCAP results. It highlights the brands level of commitment to providing customers with a quality, safe and reliable electric vehicle that continues to perform above and beyond expectations.” 

As standard, ORA Funky Cat comes equipped with 360 degree cameras, adaptive cruise control with lane centring function, lane change assist, blind spot detection, traffic sign recognition, emergency braking and rear cross traffic alert and brake.
