Ora Good Cat on display at KLCC, 501 km range, circa RM 130k price possible

Months after we first spied it in a nondescript Shah Alam showroom, here's the full-electric (EV) Ora Good Cat in public, displayed at the launch of the Tindakan Pembangunan Bumiputera event held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC).

A crowd puller at the event, the Good Cat displayed here isn't quite Malaysian-spec yet, with it being left-hand drive (imported from China).

However, a source within Go Auto Sdn. Bhd. – representatives of the Great Wall Motor brand here, which also includes Haval – says that this is pretty close to what Malaysian customers can expect when the EV is eventually launched here.
