Looking for an electric car with personality? Meet the GWM Ora Funky Cat - and yes, that really is its name! This charming electric hatchback combines retro-cool looks with modern tech, featuring those adorable teardrop LED headlights and a luxurious vegan interior that'll make you think twice about what 'premium' means.
As a fresh face in the UK market, GWM (Great Wall Motors) is making waves with their Ora brand. Through Hippo Leasing, you can get behind the wheel of this quirky electric car with competitive deals on both new and used models, including zero-deposit options that make going electric more accessible than ever.
Why lease a GWM Ora Funky Cat?
This isn't just another electric car - it's a conversation starter on wheels! The Funky Cat proves that sustainable driving doesn't have to be boring. Inside, you're greeted by dual 10.25-inch screens that make Tesla's setup look a bit last season, while the vegan leather interior feels properly posh. And with features like a transparent chassis view camera system, it's packed with tech that you'd expect to find in cars costing twice as much.
Performance-wise, the Funky Cat is no slouch either. The electric motor serves up 126kW (that's 171bhp in old money) and whizzes you to 62mph in just 8.3 seconds. Choose between the standard 48kWh battery offering 192 miles of range, or the beefier 63kWh version that'll take you up to 261 miles between charges. When you do need to top up, fast charging gets you from 15-80% in under 45 minutes - perfect for a coffee break on longer journeys.
Why choose car leasing?
Leasing the Funky Cat is a smart way to join the electric revolution without committing to ownership of a newer brand. For business users, an electric car lease brings significant tax advantages, including ultra-low benefit-in-kind rates and the ability to reclaim VAT. At Hippo Leasing, we offer both personal and business leasing options on the Funky Cat, making it easier than ever to go electric.
Who does a GWM Ora Funky Cat lease suit?
The Funky Cat is perfect for city dwellers and eco-conscious drivers who want to stand out from the crowd. Whether you're a young professional looking for a stylish commuter or a family needing a practical second car, this characterful EV delivers. Its compact dimensions make it a doddle to park, while that silent electric powertrain means peaceful urban driving.
For alternatives in the electric market, check out the Nissan Leaf or MG MG4. While they might offer similar range and practicality, they can't quite match the Funky Cat's unique personality and premium feel.
