History
edit
In May 2018, Great Wall Motors announced the launch of the new Ora electric car brand. The first model was the compact iQ model combining the features of a crossover with a three-box sedan body.[2]
The characteristic features of the exterior were narrow, longitudinal headlights with cutouts at the edges of the fenders, as well as long, one-piece rear lamps running across the entire width of the body.[3]
Sale
editThe car was designed for the domestic Chinese market, starting sales in August 2018. In its first full year of sales, 2019, Ora sold 10,300 iQ units. The car did not gain much popularity in the long run and was withdrawn from production at the end of 2020,[4] disappearing from the offer in favor of newer models from the "Cat" line.
