About the Haval / GWM ORA 03 EV

The GWM Ora 03 EV is a compact, fashion-forward electric hatchback sold in Nepal in a single PRO variant, priced at Rs 42,49,000 in the current local catalog. It pairs a 47.78 kWh LFP battery with a 99 kW permanent-magnet synchronous motor and a claimed 400 km range on the NEDC cycle. That makes it a city-friendly EV with enough performance for regular highway use.

Editorial overview compiled from official specs and Nepali/Indian auto sources · as of 17 Jul 2026.

Design & styling

The Ora 03 stands out in Nepal because it does not look like a conventional budget EV. Its rounded, retro-inspired shape and coupe-like hatchback profile give it more of a lifestyle feel than most rivals. In Nepal, GWM has shown it with dual-tone colour combinations, and the emphasis is clearly on visual appeal rather than boxy practicality. For buyers who want an EV that feels premium and distinctive on Kathmandu streets, that styling is a major part of why they will look at the Ora 03.

Performance & drivetrain

The Nepal-spec Ora 03 uses a permanent-magnet synchronous electric motor with a peak output of 99 kW and 210 Nm, paired with a 47.78 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery. GWM’s Nepal information quotes a 400 km driving range on the NEDC cycle, and the car is positioned as suitable for both city use and highway driving. This setup points to relaxed, instant EV acceleration rather than hot-hatch performance, which fits everyday Nepali traffic and mixed road conditions.

Interior, features & practicality

On the top-variant PRO specification, the Ora 03 is presented as a well-equipped small EV. It comes with a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, wireless charging, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, auto air conditioning with a PM 2.5 filter, 7 airbags, and advanced parking assistance. The Nepal launch material also highlights safety-oriented systems such as cornering brake control and a wisdom-dodge function for detecting and avoiding large vehicles, along with the model’s 5-star safety claims from overseas testing references used by local media. Space is helped by the compact hatchback body and 2,650 mm wheelbase. It should feel usable for daily commuting and school-run duty, though it remains a small car rather than a family MPV.

Ownership in Nepal — price positioning, running cost & who it suits

In Nepal’s current catalog, both listed variants are priced the same: Pro — Rs 42,49,000; PRO — Rs 42,49,000. That puts the Ora 03 in the premium small-EV bracket, where it competes more on style, equipment and brand distinction than on being the cheapest way into electric motoring. For ownership, the EV drivetrain should mean lower routine running costs than a petrol hatchback. GWM Nepal backs the battery, motor and controller for 8 years or 150,000 km, with 4 years or 150,000 km coverage for the vehicle itself excluding wear items. It suits buyers who can charge at home or at work, want a compact urban EV with a premium feel, and are comfortable paying extra for design and features over more utilitarian EVs.

Verdict

The GWM Ora 03 EV is one of the more characterful electric hatchbacks on sale in Nepal, with a strong feature list, a distinctive look and a drivetrain that feels well judged for local city use. Its main weakness is not the product itself but the fact that, at its price, it must compete against a growing set of EVs that may offer more space, more range or a stronger value equation. Its success will depend on how many buyers prioritise style and equipment over pure practicality.
