The little Ora Good Cat. Pretty interesting character, this. It burst into Malaysia's electric vehicle (EV) scene with its sparkly cute looks, a not-quite-bad spec sheet, and prices that were relatively more attainable: RM 139,800 and RM 169,800.

Performance and range figures seem good for the money, with both variants of the Good Cat driven by a 143 PS/210 Nm electric motor. Range is either 400 km or 500 km, depending on variant and their battery size – 48 kWh and 63 kWH, respectively.
