The GWM ORA 03 is a five-door, five-seat electric hatchback with retro-influenced styling, a plush-looking cabin and a standard equipment list that shames plenty of pricier cars. It's the small electric car in GWM's UK line-up, and it suits drivers who mostly cover town and commuter miles rather than long motorway hauls.

There's one body style, one powertrain and three trims: Pure, Pro and GT. So the decision is mercifully simple - pick the kit level you want, check the range figure on the version you're looking at, and you're done.

One thing to be clear about up front: GWM no longer lists the ORA 03 in its new-car price list, so the versions shown here are available while stocks last.

About the GWM ORA 03

The ORA 03 is an electric hatchback about 4.24m long, with five seats, a 228-litre boot and a 5-year, unlimited-mileage manufacturer warranty. Reviewers consistently praise the cabin quality and the sheer amount of standard kit, and consistently criticise the small boot.

It arrived in the UK under a rather more feline name before becoming the ORA 03 in 2024, and the styling - round headlights, bulging bonnet, two-tone roof option - has always been the point. Road testers rate it best around town, where the light steering and tight turning circle work in its favour, and note that the driver-assistance alerts can be enthusiastic. Euro NCAP awarded it five stars, with 92% for adult occupant protection.

Why lease a GWM ORA 03?

Because you get a lot of equipment without ticking a single option box. Every ORA 03, whichever trim you choose, has adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree camera, keyless entry and start, wireless phone charging, built-in navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an electrically adjustable driver's seat.

The safety and assistance kit is thorough too: autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, active lane-change assist, traffic sign recognition, automatic high beam and rear parking sensors are standard across the range, which helps explain that 93% Euro NCAP score for safety assist.

Practicality is the trade-off. Rear passenger space is genuinely good for a car this size, but at 228 litres the boot is small for the footprint, and there's a tyre repair kit rather than a spare. Servicing is every 24 months or 18,000 miles.

Which ORA 03 powertrain is right for me?

There's only one: a front-wheel-drive electric motor with an automatic transmission. Battery size varies by version, so the range figure is the number to check on the individual deal before you order.

Electric

The motor produces 169bhp and 250Nm, enough for 0-62mph in 8.2-8.3 seconds and a 99mph top speed. Battery capacity runs from 48kWh to 63kWh, giving a WLTP range of 193 miles on the smaller pack and up to 261 miles on the larger one, at 3.7-3.8 miles per kWh.

Charging is where you need to be realistic. Rapid charging peaks at 64kW, with 15-80% taking 43 minutes on the best version, while an 11kW home or workplace supply does the same in 3.2 hours. That's fine with a driveway charger; less convenient if you rely on public rapid chargers. Our guide to charging an electric car is worth a read if this is your first EV.

Which ORA 03 trim should I choose?

All three trims share the same 169bhp motor, so this is purely about equipment and appearance rather than performance. Pure already covers the essentials, Pro adds comfort, and GT layers on styling and interior indulgences.

Pure

Pure rides on 18-inch alloy wheels and has cloth upholstery, a microfibre leather steering wheel, satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 360-degree surround camera and a rear-view camera. It is far from a stripped-out entry car. The Pure is currently available from Price on request a month.

Pro

Pro swaps in leatherette upholstery and adds heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, automatic parking assist, front parking sensors, a powered tailgate and rear privacy glass. It's the sensible middle choice for anyone who parks in tight spaces or dislikes cold mornings. The Pro is currently available from Price on request a month. Against the Pure, that is currently Price comparison unavailable.

GT

GT gets 18-inch diamond-turned GT alloys, LED headlights, an opening panoramic glass sunroof and GT-style leatherette trim, plus massaging and ventilated front seats, electric seat memory, memory door mirrors that fold automatically, launch control and a heat pump - the last of which helps efficiency in winter. The GT is currently available from Price on request a month. Against the Pro, that is currently Price comparison unavailable.

A note on colours and insurance

Four paint colours are offered across the range: Mars red, Meteorite grey, Moonlight white and Starry black. Insurance groups run from 20 to 22 depending on version, so worth a quick quote before you commit. If you want help weighing specification against term and mileage, our guide to choosing your lease car walks through it.

GWM ORA 03 FAQs

For a small family, yes, with one caveat. It has five seats, a five-star Euro NCAP rating including 83% for child occupant protection, and reviewers rate rear passenger space highly for the car's size. The 228-litre boot is the limitation - fine for a buggy or a weekly shop, tight for both.

Between 193 and 261 miles on the WLTP test, depending on which battery the version has - 48kWh at the lower end, 63kWh at the top. Efficiency is quoted at 3.7-3.8 miles per kWh. As with any EV, expect less in cold weather and at motorway speeds.

On a public rapid charger the ORA 03 peaks at 64kW, taking 43 minutes for 15-80% on the best version. On an 11kW home or workplace charger the same 15-80% top-up takes 3.2 hours. It's a car that rewards overnight home charging rather than motorway splash-and-dash. Our electric car guide explains the basics.

GWM covers the car for 5 years with unlimited mileage, and the battery separately for 8 years or 100,000 miles, guaranteeing 70% of capacity over that period. There's also a 5-year paintwork guarantee and a 12-year anti-corrosion guarantee. On a typical lease term, the whole contract sits inside the vehicle warranty.

It should be. Every version has a 360-degree camera and rear parking sensors, the turning circle is 11.3 metres and the car is 1.83-1.85m wide. Pro and GT add front parking sensors and automatic parking assist. Rear visibility over the shoulder is the weak point, which is exactly why that camera earns its keep.

It depends entirely on what's available at the time, and it isn't always the entry trim. Rentals move as stock and terms change, so the honest answer is to compare the live offers. The Pure is currently from Price on request a month. See the current ORA 03 deals below.

No towing capacity is published for the ORA 03, so treat it as a car for carrying people rather than pulling trailers or caravans. Kerb weight is 1,540-1,580kg depending on version. If towing matters to you, tell our team and we'll point you at something better suited.

Specifications from GWM's UK vehicle data and Euro NCAP; equipment, battery size and range vary by version, so check the individual deal before you order.
