2026 GWM ORA 5: Is This NZ's Best-Value EV?

EV QUEST

About

I've spent the night with the new 2026 GWM ORA 5 Ultra to find out what it's really like to live with, and whether this new electric SUV should be on your shortlist.

In this EV Quest review, I take the GWM ORA 5 Ultra out on city streets, and open roads to look at the driving experience. I'm checking out the  technology, interior space, boot space, charging and overall value for money.

I'm driving the ORA 5 Ultra, priced from $39,990 RRP plus on-road costs.

The ORA 5 uses a 58.3kWh LFP battery and is front-wheel drive. It has 120kW DC charging and Vehicle-to-Load capability.

So, is the GWM ORA 5 worth considering?

Thanks to Farmer GWM Tauranga for the load of the Ora 5. 🔋
