Ora 5 EV now sold at standard prices
GWM Nepal has officially ended the introductory launch offer on the Ora 5 electric SUV in Nepal, and the model is now available at its regular sticker price for all new customer enquiries and bookings. This change follows a period of positive market response due to the vehicle's attractive design, advanced technology, and long driving range.

According to the distributor’s announcement, the mid variant of the GWM Ora 5 now costs Rs 48.49 lakh, while the higher-spec variant is priced at Rs 53.99 lakh. Previously, these two trims were offered at Rs 46.99 lakh and Rs 51.99 lakh under a limited-time launch scheme. This adjustment reflects the end of the special offer that was initially introduced to capture early interest in the market.
For buyers, this means any fresh booking or new quotation will follow the revised rates, while customers who already secured the introductory deal are not affected. Interested customers can make bookings and test drive arrangements through GWM's authorized showrooms across Nepal.
Key features and claimed range
GWM positions the Ora 5 as a feature-rich compact electric SUV aimed at urban and intercity use. According to the company, the EV offers a claimed NEDC driving range of up to 520 km on a full charge, which, on paper, places it among the longer-range electric SUVs currently on sale in Nepal. However, the vehicle's WLTP-certified driving range is up to 435 km, reflecting real-world conditions more accurately.
Highlight equipment on the Ora 5 includes:
- Panoramic sunroof
- Premium seats and interior trim
- 360-degree surround-view camera
- 180-degree chassis-view camera (useful for obstacles and rough roads)
- 200 mm ground clearance, helping with speed breakers and light off-road use
- Self-healing paint technology, designed to reduce the visual impact of minor scratches over time
Safety package and ratings
GWM Nepal states that the Ora 5 has achieved 5-star ANCAP and 5-star Euro NCAP safety ratings, indicating strong crash protection by international test standards, though buyers should note that these ratings are based on tests conducted in other markets.
The SUV is equipped with seven airbags and a wide set of driver assistance features. According to the company, the Ora 5 includes more than 20 ADAS functions, such as:
- Lane Keep Assist
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Traffic Sign Recognition
- Blind-spot monitoring
- Rear cross-traffic alert
- 540-degree camera
What this means for Nepali EV buyers
With the end of the launch offer, the Ora 5 now sits in the Rs 48–54 lakh price band, competing with other mid-to-premium electric SUVs in Nepal. Buyers considering the model will be paying more than early adopters did, but still receive the same long-range claim and extensive safety and technology package.
For customers prioritising range, safety ratings, and advanced driver assistance, the Ora 5 remains a strong option. Those who are more price-sensitive may want to compare it against other EVs in a similar budget before booking. The SUV's retro-inspired design with circular LED headlamps and smooth body lines adds to its appeal, alongside its 100 kW electric motor producing 260 Nm of peak torque and a 58.3 kWh LFP battery pack.
