The Ora iQ is a 4-door sedan from Great Wall Motor, built from 2018 to 2020, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market.
How it came about
The Ora iQ is a battery electric compact car produced by the Chinese car manufacturer Great Wall Motors under its electric vehicle brand Ora in 2018–2020.
Under the skin
The record carries the shape — a 4-door sedan — and the layout: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The engine, output and weight have not yet reached the open record, and MotorJury does not guess at them.
Family and rivals
Its family tree is legible: its successor was the Ora 5; assembly was at Taizhou, Zhejiang, China. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Tesla Model 3, the Porsche Taycan, the Tesla Model Y — show what else the money bought that year. Its Great Wall Motor stablemates include the Great Wall Coolbear and the Great Wall Cowry.
