GWM is giving Malaysian visitors an early look at the Ora 5 HEV at the paultan.org Auto Car Expo (ACE) 2026, held at Setia City Convention Centre on October 31 and November 1. Test drives are available at the event. The B-segment crossover is scheduled for a Malaysian launch in November, with an estimated price of RM115,000. Local assembly has been confirmed, and bookings opened in early October.
The hybrid system pairs a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, rated at 150 PS and 240 Nm, with a 190 PS, 236 Nm electric motor integrated into a two-speed dedicated hybrid transmission. A 1.09-kWh battery supplies the motor. GWM quotes combined output of 223 PS and 476 Nm, fuel consumption of 4.4 litres per 100 km under NEDC, and a claimed maximum range of 1,100 km from the 55-litre tank.
Equipment shown includes 18-inch wheels, LED lighting, rain-sensing wipers, a 14.6-inch infotainment display, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a 50-watt wireless phone charger. The Ora 5 HEV measures 4,471 mm long, 1,833 mm wide and 1,641 mm tall, with a 2,720 mm wheelbase.
