This upped the range from 193 miles to a much more competitive 260 miles. We\u2019ve also seen a sporty \u2018Funky Cat GT\u2019 hot hatch variant that will rival the MG4 XPower and even the production version of the Alpine A290_\u00df.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>No changes to the Funky Cat are expected as a result of this renaming venture. The recently introduced Ora Lightning Cat saloon, which borrows plenty of technology and design from the hatchback will also change its name to a simpler \u2018Ora 07\u2019. The Ora 07 is expected to join the GWM range in early 2024.<\/p>\n<p>GWM Ora has grown its UK operations rather quickly since it debuted here back in 2021 &#8211; parent company Great Wall Motors had previous experience selling pick-up trucks in the UK.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Now check out our list of the best electric cars to buy right now&#8230;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/ora\/funky-cat\/361571\/gwm-ora-funky-cat-loses-some-soul-ora-03-rebrand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Great Wall Motor company is giving the Funky Cat a rebrand for 2024 In a bid to make the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":245943,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
