ORA Funky Cat gets five-star Euro NCAP rating

Already launched in the UK, the ORA Funky Cat gets five-star Euro NCAP rating.

 

With a starting price of 31.995 GBP (36.869 euros) in the UK, it gets a 48 kWh battery and a WLTP range of 310 km. Curiously in China, there’s a long range version with a 63 kWh battery.

It’s surprising that ORA decided to introduce the standard range version in Europe, instead of going for the long range first. The European version does have a more powerful 126 kW motor.

Considering that in China the ORA Good (Funky) Cat has multiple versions with LFP and NCM batteries, I don’t know what battery chemistry the European version has.

 

 

 

Anyway, the ORA Funky Cat seems to be a good and safe electric car, but definitely overpriced when compared to the MG MG4 Electric.
