Pakistan’s electric vehicle segment continues to expand, giving consumers more options across different price points and vehicle categories. GWM’s newly launched ORA 5 enters this competitive space with a proposition built around a combination of range, premium features, SUV practicality and pricing.
Priced at PKR 8,599,000, the ORA 5 is positioned approximately PKR 300,000 below the BYD Atto 3, giving it an immediate price advantage among comparable electric SUVs. However, the vehicle’s proposition extends beyond its price tag. Beyond the upfront value, buyers also receive added peace of mind through GWM’s warranty coverage of 8 years or 150,000 km, whichever comes first.
The ORA 5 comes equipped with a 58.33 kWh battery, delivering up to 435 km of WLTP range and 520 km under NEDC. Its claimed WLTP range is approximately 100 km higher than the BYD Atto 3, while its battery capacity is also one of the largest in its immediate segment.
For EV buyers, the additional range can be an important consideration, particularly as charging infrastructure continues to develop across Pakistan. A longer claimed range provides greater flexibility between charging sessions and makes an EV more practical for both urban use and longer journeys.
The ORA 5 delivers the size, dimensions and road presence expected of a modern SUV. Its dimensions are comparable to options such as the BYD Atto 3, while its proportions contribute to a spacious cabin, generous legroom and practical everyday usability.
The interior adds another layer to the vehicle’s positioning. High-quality materials, ventilated front seats and a panoramic glass roof create a more premium cabin experience, while the glass roof gives the interior a greater sense of openness.
Exterior personalisation is also part of the package, with the ORA 5 offered in six colour options.
Taken together, the ORA 5 presents a combination that is likely to attract attention in Pakistan’s EV market: a sizeable battery and long claimed range, premium comfort features, SUV dimensions and a price point below one of its key competitors.
