GWM downsizes the Ora 03 line and keeps only the version that dominates 77% of sales

GWM decided to reduce the offer of the Ora 03 electric hatch in the Brazilian market, starting to offer the model exclusively in the BEV58 configuration. The decision reflects a direct adjustment to consumer demand: according to data from the automaker, this version accounted for 77% of the model’s registrations in the first two months of 2026.

With the new guideline, the entry-level variants (BEV48, with a smaller battery) and the option with a sporty appeal (GT or BEV63) are no longer produced for Brazil, remaining available only while stocks last at dealerships. From now on, the Ora 03 BEV58 assumes the role of a single option, maintaining the list price at R$ 169 thousand.

Originally launched as a limited series, the BEV58 version has been consolidated by the balance between cost and autonomy. Equipped with a 58 kWh battery, the compact delivers a range of 315 km in the rigorous Inmetro cycle — which can reach 420 km in the WLTP global standard. The mechanical set remains unchanged, with a front engine of 171 hp and immediate torque of 25,5 kgfm.

In the passenger compartment, the surviving version preserves the panoramic sunroof, induction charging and the level 2+ driver assistance system (ADAS). In practice, GWM’s move seeks to optimize logistics and strengthen the model’s positioning against its main rival, the BYD Dolphin. By concentrating efforts on the higher-volume version, the brand simplifies the purchase journey and tries to solidify its participation in a segment increasingly disputed by entry-level models and premium options.
