Kathmandu, Nepal. Just one month after its official launch in Nepal, GWM ORA 5 has received an overwhelming market response, rapidly emerging as one of the country’s most sought-after premium electric SUVs. Combining award-winning design, advanced battery technology, intelligent features, and internationally acclaimed safety standards, the ORA 5 has quickly become a preferred choice among customers seeking a premium electric mobility experience.
The strong acceptance reflects the growing confidence of Nepali consumers in next-generation electric vehicles that deliver intelligent technology, premium comfort, and uncompromising safety. Since its launch, the ORA 5 has generated encouraging customer interest nationwide through strong showroom visits, test drives, inquiries, and bookings.
A key highlight of the ORA 5 is its Dragon Armor Battery, developed and manufactured by SVOLT Energy, GWM’s own battery technology company. Unlike many global automakers that rely on third-party battery suppliers, GWM maintains complete control over battery research, development, and manufacturing, ensuring superior quality, safety, innovation, and performance.
Inspired by the protective scales of a dragon, the Dragon Armor Battery features an innovative structural design with a downward venting mechanism that safely directs heat away from the passenger cabin in the unlikely event of thermal runaway. Supported by a five-layer protection system, it offers exceptional resistance against fire, water, impact, and extreme operating conditions.
Designed under the philosophy “Designed with Intelligence, Shaped by Elegance,” the ORA 5 has also earned global recognition by winning the 2025 London Design Awards – Design of the Year in the Product Design – Automobiles/Vehicles category.
The ORA 5 offers a 520-kilometre driving range, 200 mm ground clearance, Coffee OS 3 Smart Cockpit, Coffee Pilot Ultra Intelligent Driving System, 20+ ADAS features, 360-degree surround-view camera, 180-degree chassis-view camera, self-healing paint technology, panoramic moonroof, premium interiors, and seven airbags. It has also earned globally recognized 5-Star Euro NCAP and 5-Star ANCAP safety ratings.
The ORA 5 is available in Nepal at a special introductory price of NPR 4,699,000 for the Mid Variant and NPR 5,199,000 for the Top Variant.
Commenting on the strong market response, VG Impex Pvt. Ltd., the sole authorized importer and distributor of GWM vehicles in Nepal, stated that the acceptance of the ORA 5 reflects the increasing trust of Nepali customers in globally proven electric mobility solutions and reinforces the company’s confidence in Nepal’s rapidly growing EV market.
With a global legacy of 35 years, operations in more than 170 countries and regions, and over 10 million vehicles sold worldwide, GWM continues to strengthen its position as one of the world’s leading automobile manufacturers. Following the successful launch of the ORA 5, the company also plans to introduce the HAVAL JOLION MAX EV and the all-new HAVAL H7 in Nepal, further expanding its portfolio of intelligent and premium SUVs.
The rapid success of the ORA 5 demonstrates the growing preference of Nepali consumers for globally engineered, technology-driven, and safety-focused electric vehicles, setting a new benchmark for premium electric mobility in Nepal.
