Kathmandu: Just one month after its official launch in Nepal, GWM ORA 5 has received an overwhelming response from customers, emerging as one of the country’s most sought-after premium electric SUVs.
Combining award-winning design, advanced battery technology, intelligent features, and internationally recognized safety standards, the ORA 5 has quickly gained popularity among customers seeking a premium electric mobility experience.
The strong market response reflects the growing confidence of Nepali consumers in next-generation electric vehicles that offer intelligent technology, premium comfort, and uncompromising safety. Since its launch, the ORA 5 has witnessed encouraging customer engagement across Nepal through increased showroom visits, test drives, inquiries, and bookings.
A major highlight of the ORA 5 is its Dragon Armor Battery, developed and manufactured by SVOLT Energy, GWM’s dedicated battery technology company. Unlike many global automotive brands that depend on third-party battery suppliers, GWM maintains control over battery research, development, and manufacturing, ensuring enhanced quality, safety, innovation, and performance.
Inspired by the protective scales of a dragon, the Dragon Armor Battery features an advanced structural design with a downward venting mechanism that safely directs heat away from the passenger cabin in the unlikely event of thermal runaway. Supported by a five-layer protection system, the battery provides strong resistance against fire, water, impact, and extreme operating conditions.
Developed under the design philosophy “Designed with Intelligence, Shaped by Elegance,” the ORA 5 has also gained global recognition by winning the 2025 London Design Awards – Design of the Year in the Product Design – Automobiles/Vehicles category.
The GWM ORA 5 delivers a driving range of 520 kilometers and comes equipped with advanced features including 200 mm ground clearance, Coffee OS 3 Smart Cockpit, Coffee Pilot Ultra Intelligent Driving System, more than 20 ADAS features, 360-degree surround-view camera, 180-degree chassis-view camera, self-healing paint technology, panoramic moonroof, premium interiors, and seven airbags.
The vehicle has also achieved globally recognized safety ratings, including 5-Star Euro NCAP and 5-Star ANCAP certifications.
The ORA 5 is available in Nepal at a special introductory price of:
- Mid Variant: NPR 4,699,000
- Top Variant: NPR 5,199,000
Commenting on the positive market response, VG Impex Pvt. Ltd., the sole authorized importer and distributor of GWM vehicles in Nepal, stated that the strong acceptance of the ORA 5 reflects increasing customer confidence in globally proven electric mobility solutions and further strengthens the company’s confidence in Nepal’s rapidly expanding EV market.
With a global legacy of 35 years, operations across more than 170 countries and regions, and over 10 million vehicles sold worldwide, GWM continues to strengthen its position as one of the world’s leading automobile manufacturers.
Following the successful introduction of the ORA 5, the company is also preparing to launch the HAVAL JOLION MAX EV and the all-new HAVAL H7 in Nepal, further expanding its portfolio of intelligent and premium SUVs.
The rapid success of the GWM ORA 5 highlights the growing preference among Nepali consumers for globally engineered, technology-driven, and safety-focused electric vehicles, setting a new benchmark for premium electric mobility in Nepal.
