GWM ORA 5 Launched in Pakistan: Price, Specs & Range

Pakistan’s electric vehicle market just got another option. GWM, working with the Sazgar Group, has officially launched the ORA 5 electric SUV. The price is set at Rs 8,599,000 ex-factory. Bookings are open with a down payment of Rs 1,700,000.

This is the third ORA model in the country. It sits between the smaller ORA 3 and the larger ORA 7. The car is a compact electric SUV built for city driving and short highway trips. It comes with a solid list of features that many buyers look for in this price range.

If you have been waiting for a practical electric SUV that does not cost as much as some rivals, the ORA 5 is worth a closer look. Here is a clear breakdown of what it offers, how it performs, and how it compares with the main competitors already on the road.

Key Specs at a Glance

The ORA 5 uses a single front-wheel-drive electric motor. It produces 201 horsepower and 260 Nm of torque. The company claims a 0-100 km/h time of eight seconds. That is enough for quick overtakes and smooth city traffic.

The battery is a 58.3 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) pack. Official range is 435 km under the WLTP cycle. Real-world figures will depend on driving style, temperature, and road conditions. In Pakistan’s heat and mixed traffic, expect something closer to 350-400 km on a full charge for most users.

Charging support includes up to 120 kW DC fast charging. A 10-80% top-up takes around 30 minutes at a suitable station. AC charging from empty to full takes roughly 6.5 to 7 hours on a standard home or public charger. The car also supports vehicle-to-load (V2L) power output of up to 6 kW. That means you can run small appliances or charge other devices from the car’s battery during a power cut or outdoor trip.

Dimensions are 4,471 mm long, 1,833 mm wide, and 1,641 mm high. The wheelbase measures 2,720 mm. Ground clearance sits at about 175 mm. Boot space is around 362 litres, which expands when the rear seats fold. It is a five-seater with enough room for daily family use.

Features That Stand Out

Inside, the ORA 5 focuses on a clean and modern cabin. The main screen is a 14.6-inch 2K touchscreen. A 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster sits behind the steering wheel. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. There is also a 50-watt wireless phone charger.

Safety equipment includes Level 2 ADAS. This covers adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, and a driver-monitoring system. A 360-degree camera helps with parking in tight city spots. Other comfort items include a panoramic glass roof, an electric tailgate, and heat-pump air conditioning. Heat-pump systems work better in varied temperatures and help protect battery range.

These features put the ORA 5 on a similar level to many higher-priced EVs in the local market. The build quality and soft-touch materials aim to feel more premium than the price suggests.

How It Compares with Rivals

The ORA 5 enters a busy segment. Its main rivals are the BYD Atto 3 and the Jaecoo J6. Both are already available and target similar buyers.

The BYD Atto 3 sits at Rs 8,990,000 for the Advance variant. It uses BYD’s Blade battery technology and offers around 410-480 km of claimed range depending on the cycle used. Power is also in the 201 HP range, with slightly higher torque in some versions. It has a strong reputation for battery safety and a refined ride.

The Jaecoo J6 starts at Rs 8,799,000 for the base Comfort RWD and goes up to Rs 10,799,000 for the Premium AWD. Battery sizes range from about 49.9 kWh to 69.7 kWh. Claimed ranges go from roughly 330 km to 462 km. The top AWD model delivers higher power (up to 279 HP) and more off-road-oriented features. It has a boxier design that some buyers prefer for presence on the road.

Comparison: ORA 5 vs BYD Atto 3 vs Jaecoo J6

Prices and exact specs can change with variants and local updates. Always confirm the latest figures with dealers. The ORA 5 undercuts the Atto 3 slightly on price while matching power and offering a competitive range. Against the Jaecoo J6, it is cheaper than the higher trims and focuses more on everyday comfort than off-road ability.

Who Should Consider the ORA 5?

This car suits urban families and professionals who want an electric SUV without stretching the budget too far. Daily city driving, school runs, and occasional trips to nearby cities fit well with the claimed range. The Level 2 ADAS and 360 camera make it easier for new EV drivers. The heat-pump system and LFP battery are practical choices for Pakistan’s climate.

If you need more boot space or AWD capability, the Jaecoo J6 higher variants may suit you better. If battery brand reputation is your top priority, the Atto 3 has a longer track record in some markets. The ORA 5 stands out for its feature list at this price and the backing of Sazgar’s growing service network.

Booking and What Comes Next

Bookings are open now with Rs 1,700,000 required. Deliveries are expected in the coming months. Sazgar and GWM have already introduced the ORA 3 and ORA 7, so parts and service support should expand as more units arrive.

Pakistan’s EV market is still young. Charging stations are growing in major cities but remain limited on longer routes. Buyers should plan home charging and check public network coverage in their area. Running costs stay much lower than petrol or diesel SUVs once the car is charged.

The ORA 5 adds a practical, well-equipped option in the mid-price electric SUV space. It is not the cheapest EV on the market, and it is not the longest-range one either. But it brings a balanced package of power, features, and price that many Pakistani buyers have been waiting for.

If you are comparing electric SUVs right now, put the ORA 5 on your shortlist. Visit a Sazgar GWM dealership, check the real cabin space, and test the features for yourself. The numbers look solid on paper. The real test is how it feels on local roads. For more updates, visit DrivePK.com
