Customers who buy one between now until 30-April 2024 will get a free home wallbox charger and a 3-pin plug portable charger.
Early customers to be compensated, somewhat
If you are wondering if the new lower prices have left customers who bought the Ora Good Cat earlier feeling shortchanged, GWM Malaysia is offering the following benefits to existing customers:
- Vehicle warranty extension - additional 2 years, totaling 7-year / 150,000 km
- 5 years / 75,000 km free maintenance (parts and labour included), starting from last service
Price war with BYD
The Ora Good Cat is imported from China. The SUV-like hatchback is positioned closer to the BYD Atto 3 than the BYD Dolphin.
Sime Darby Beyond Auto is currently offering RM 20,000 discount on the 2023 manufacturing year BYD Atto 3 (all variants), bringing prices down to RM 130,430 and RM 148,430 for the Standard Range and Extended variants respectively (on-the-road excluding insurance).
The new 2024 BYD Atto 3, with a larger 15.6-inch infotainment screen has yet to be announced for Malaysia but if prices in Thailand are a reliable indication, it will be lower than before. BYD Thailand has slashed prices of the 2024 BYD Atto 3 by 18 percent.
Over 15 years of experience in automotive, from product planning, to market research, to print and digital media. Garages a 6-cylinder manual RWD but buses to work.
