GWM Malaysia has announced that the first Ora 5 Hi2 HEV has rolled off the production line at EP Manufacturing Bhd’s (EPMB) plant in Melaka.

The new model will officially launch in Malaysia this November, with an estimated price below RM115,000.

The Ora 5 Hi2 HEV combines a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine with an electric motor, producing a total output of 223 PS and 476 Nm of torque.

Power is delivered through a two-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT), while the hybrid system does not require external charging.

According to GWM, the model offers fuel consumption as low as 4.4 litres/100 km and a total driving range exceeding 1,100 km.
