Great review as usual. This car looks really nice, and the quality! The Chinese have come a long way. And i don’t mind the retro friendly style, the over aggresive sporty style of everything is a little tiring these days
You can turn the distraction camera off. The dial gear knob does click into place but you were in drive when you were turning it in video which of course won’t allow you to change gear as that is a safety issue .
Apart from range and price, no rear wash wipe is an omission (look how the vision was obscured in the test), no sunroof and restricted colour choice. Pity as outside style acceptable, inside really rather nice.
I currently have a Suzuki Swift Sport and I'm looking at one of three new cheap Chinese EV hatchbacks (this, the MG4 and the BYD Dolphin) as it's replacement. I took the Ora for a spin on the weekend and it's interior is so much nicer than my Suzuki it's not funny. Apparently the one I had has had a bunch of software updates, which is why I didn't get bothered by the driver assistance/monitoring.
With nearly 32k budget to spend on an EV, unfortunately most will spent it on the MG4 with its 64kWh battery you can also get the Kona 39kWh with almost the same range and Kia's 7 year warranty . Too big a price , small battery and boot capacity + The Mini-e and Fiat 500 electric have the retro look scene sown up from trusted legacy automakers . Ora's best cars . The almost complete Beetle lookalike Punk Cat and the star of the brand - the Ioniq6 lookalike Lightning Cat they've left at home.
retro freindly, coolest name if your a nerd LOL , bland with hardly any boot space THAT WILL PUT 50% or more off who might have been in the mkt for a first EV , all for £32,000 . These will be a rare sight on uk rds unless their bought for fleet cars. A less bells and whistles version kicks off at 12/13 k in china home mkt . It has a round conventional steering wheel and novelty wise knows what the weathers like in London WOW
You’re right not a 1950’s car. Apart from bad range, no rear wiper, virtually no boot, slowish charging and being £10k overpriced it could be recommended! Oh forgot where’s the dealer network? Will get some initial buyers for the looks with more money than sense but then ………..

Well done with the matching jeans. Its a really good funky car this. I hope it does well. It deserves to be a success.
The trousers and the interior 👏

Just had one of these for the weekend, epic for the price, but low and behold the charging network here in the UK is pants
Congrats on the trousers 👍🇬🇧
Nice matching pants by the way 👍🏻
strange didn't mention the tiny boot.

7:17 I didn't know James was a thrash metal fan
Sorry to tell you that I am told that ORA have dropped the name ‘Funky Cat’ in the UK. It is now called the ‘ORA 1’ Is that right??
HOW IS THE SPEAKER SYSTEM IN ORA CAT ?
Looks a bit like Vauxhall Adam !

Did the trousers come with the car?
Just bought one, long range, to complement my Tesla 3 Dual Motor.

Could be a competitor to Fiat 500.Retro is dead.
camera with facial recognition? no thanks
nice car, but hope its not build like their tofu buildings and break apart after a couple of years
🤡
They probably better build than indian bridges
Tesla build their cars in China, not India.
