Following a series of previews that have introduced Malaysians to GWM’s newest compact SUV, GWM Malaysia recently announced that bookings are officially open for the all-new GWM ORA 5 HEV ahead of its upcoming launch.
The all-new GWM ORA 5 HEV is expected to be introduced with an estimated selling price of RM115,000, offering Malaysians an exciting new hybrid choice in the compact SUV segment.
First previewed in Malaysia earlier this year, the GWM ORA 5 HEV has been designed to offer more than what drivers might expect from a compact hybrid SUV. Distinctive in design and powered by GWM’s Hi2 intelligent hybrid technology, it combines strong performance, impressive efficiency, long driving range and everyday versatility in one compelling package.
At the heart of the GWM ORA 5 HEV is a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine paired with an electric motor, delivering a combined output of 223 PS and 476 Nm of torque. GWM’s Hi2 intelligent hybrid system is engineered to deliver smooth and responsive performance across different driving conditions while achieving fuel consumption as low as 4.4 litres per 100 km.
With a total driving range of over 1,100 km*, the GWM ORA 5 HEV gives drivers the flexibility to take on everything from everyday city commutes to longer journeys with fewer stops along the way, all without the need for external charging.
Stan Li, Managing Director of Commercial Operations, GWM Malaysia, said, “With the ORA 5 HEV, we wanted to challenge what Malaysians might expect from a compact hybrid SUV. It is distinctive in the way it looks, impressive in the way it performs and remarkably efficient in how far it can go. That combination is what makes the ORA 5 HEV anything but ordinary.”
“More Malaysians are considering electrified vehicles, but their needs are not all the same. Many want the benefits of electrification while retaining the flexibility of extended driving range and convenient refuelling. With our Hi2 intelligent hybrid technology, the GWM ORA 5 HEV brings these qualities together in a package designed around the realities of everyday driving in Malaysia,” he added.
Roslan Abdullah, Chief Operating Officer of GWM Malaysia, said, “Our approach has always been centred on giving Malaysians meaningful choices as they move towards New Energy Vehicles. Every customer is at a different stage of that journey, which is why we continue to build a diversified portfolio across hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric powertrains.”
“The GWM ORA 5 HEV strengthens that portfolio by bringing GWM’s latest hybrid technology into the highly relevant compact SUV segment. More importantly, it reflects our commitment to making advanced New Energy Vehicle technologies increasingly accessible to Malaysian consumers and giving them greater choice in how they make the transition towards electrified mobility.”
Bookings for the all-new GWM ORA 5 HEV are now open at all authorised GWM dealerships nationwide. Customers may visit their nearest GWM showroom or the official GWM Malaysia website for more information and to place their booking.
The final selling price and complete specifications will be announced at the official Malaysian launch of the GWM ORA 5 HEV, scheduled for November 2025.
