Ora is a division of the Chinese automotive giant Great Wall Motors, whose electric vehicles will be offered in Europe, so they need to be tested and validated for used on the continent. The 2022 Ora Funky Cat EV was just tested by Euro NCAP and it was given the maximum five-star rating with remarkably good numbers in all tested categories.
This little EV city runabout, which was designed by a former Porsche designer (the visual similarity to Porsche is not accidental) really goes to show that the days when Chinese cars were laughed at as they crumpled into unrecognizable shapes during crash tests. And in style-conscious Europe, image is important, but also safety credentials which may make or break a model.
