GWM, short for Great Wall Motor, is a major Chinese car manufacturer best known worldwide for SUVs and pickups, as well as electric and hybrid cars. In the UK, it is most familiar through its ORA electric-car range: the ORA 03 was previously sold here as the ORA Funky Cat. Its rounded, retro-inspired design helps it stand out from more conventional electric hatchbacks, while a focus on generous equipment and value makes GWM an alternative to brands such as MG and BYD. Compared with long-established UK manufacturers, GWM is a newer and less familiar name to many buyers, but its global experience and distinctive styling make it worth considering. If you’re looking at a used GWM, check the car’s history and condition as you would with any make, and make sure its features and ownership support suit your needs.
