GWM UK has announced the launch of the updated GWM ORA 03 line-up for 2025, which includes a newly introduced GT variant. Available for pre-orders starting from 21 January, the new models are priced from £24,995, with initial customer deliveries expected in March 2025. We loved the look of the original Ora, which also launched at £25,000, but the company got greedy and the entry level price moved rapidly up to £33,000. The result? What could have been a cute, mass-market model had only sold 1,000 units by January 2024. Can GWM create a genuine/healthy UK channel with this new ORA 03? Let's check the details.
Updated Range Overview
The all-electric GWM ORA 03 range now offers three trim levels: PURE, PRO, and the new GT. Designed to perform equally well in urban and rural settings, the line-up focuses on delivering practicality, safety, and technology across all variants.
PURE Variant

Starting at £24,995, the PURE variant features a 10.25-inch multimedia infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, satellite navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and wireless phone charging.
