History

Great Wall Motors announced the creation of the new ORA brand, dedicated to a new line of electric cars, in May 2018.[1]

According to Great Wall Motors, ORA stands for ‘open, reliable and alternative’.[2]

At the time, the brand was launched with two initial models: the crossover iQ5 (now iQ) and city car R1 (now Black Cat).[3]

Sales of the iQ officially kicked off the brand in August 2018.[4]

The third ORA model R2 (now White Cat) was first previewed in June 2019,[5] with production officially beginning in July, 2020.[6]

The naming of the 'cat' series vehicles is reportedly based on a Deng Xiaoping's famous quote: "No matter if it is a white cat or a black cat; as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat."[7][8]

Since 2020, the Ora brand has successfully debuted on the Ukrainian market.
