Great Wall Motor does not build many cars like the Ora Ballet Cat: a 5-door hatchback, built from 2022 in the decade the industry is turning electric.
The story
The Ora Ballet Cat (Chinese: 欧拉芭蕾猫; pinyin: Ōulā bālěi māo) is a battery electric compact hatchback produced by Chinese EV manufacturer Ora, a marque of Great Wall Motors since 2022.
What is underneath
it is rated at 126 kW. Kerb weight is 2183 kg. Power-to-weight lands near 58 horsepower per tonne, which is unhurried — enough for the job, not for the bragging. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2750 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Its place in the line
Where it sits in Great Wall Motor's history is not in doubt: it was built at Taizhou, Zhejiang, China. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Kia EV6, the Geely Radar RD6, the Toyota bZ4X. Nearby in the Great Wall Motor catalogue sit the Great Wall Coolbear and the Great Wall Cowry.
