GWM ORA Lightning Cat

1. The thought process of choosing a car
After a year of looking at, selecting, and purchasing a car, I finally decided to buy the Ora Lightning Cat, still being loyal to its appearance and cost - effectiveness. I considered cars from Tesla to BYD Yuan, and was attracted when the Lightning Cat was launched after looking at the Ora Good Cat. Initially, I only considered new - energy vehicles and didn't think about fuel - powered cars. As a girl, I really care about the car's appearance, so all Ora's models are very appealing. I paid the deposit right after it was launched on October 31st. Then I went to the store to take a test drive and it felt great. Since the store had the car in stock, I paid the balance on November 10th and picked up the car on the 16th after finishing the procedures.
2. Car - picking - up service
There was a delivery ceremony when picking up the car, but I couldn't attend it and didn't even get to take any photos. They gave me a bouquet of flowers and I took it home and put it in a vase. The salespeople in the store were very enthusiastic and the service was quite good, but the efficiency was a bit low. I always had to give them a nudge.
3. Driving and riding experience
It drives very steadily. The car weighs 1.9 tons. The steering wheel is thin, which I think is very suitable for girls. The dashboard is the most beautiful. The triple - screen dashboard is really cool. The wind noise and tire noise are very small. I bought the one with Michelin 19 - inch wheels. The ambient lighting is super cool. The passenger seat is made of perforated leather. The head - up display on the center console is also very user - friendly, allowing me to focus on driving. However, there isn't a very convenient place for a phone holder, but the built - in navigation works well. The infotainment system is also fast. I can watch iQiyi and listen to QQ Music, but I can't download Netease Cloud Music.
Automatic parking: I tried it several times. It parked the car very straight, and actually faster than I could. I'm quite confident in it. Color: When parked in the garage and compared with other cars, it really looks cool and stylish. The purple color is so nice. At first, I was choosing between pink and purple, and finally decided on purple. One reason is that I like it, and the other is that I'm worried that the pink might get boring after a while.
Sun film: The film given by the store is not good. I suggest getting it done outside. You can choose 3M or Llumar. There are also relatively good domestic ones with reasonable prices that you can consider. Don't choose a film that's too dark for the windows, otherwise, it will seriously affect your vision when driving at night. The main purpose of the front windshield film is for heat insulation and UV protection.

After comparing the BYD Seal, Leapmotor C01, Nezha S01, and Deepal S03, I finally chose the Ora Lightning Cat! As the first pure electric vehicle in my family, the Ora Lightning Cat has the greatest advantages and cost - effectiveness in terms of configuration, price budget, appearance, interior, and other aspects. The pricing of the Great Wall Ora Lightning Cat is reasonable this time. It's good!!!
¡¾Most Satisfied¡¿
It's been three days since I picked up the car. What I'm most satisfied with is the car's exterior and interior. It's so eye - catching that it gets a very high rate of people turning their heads when driving on the road! Secondly, it's the range issue that everyone is most concerned about. So far, on the first full charge, I've driven nearly 300 kilometers. With 42% of the battery remaining, the estimated range is 372 kilometers. I drove about 180 kilometers on the highway, and the rest was on city roads. I drove quite gently, and this range is quite a pleasant surprise!
¡¾Least Satisfied¡¿
What I'm relatively dissatisfied with is that the car's infotainment system is quite closed and not very playable. I'm very satisfied with all the other necessary functions! Also, the sunroof, especially the rear - end glass sunroof, because of its dark color, affects the rear - view when reversing at night, posing a bit of a safety hazard!
¡¾Driving Experience¡¿
The accelerator and brake pedals feel comfortable to press. There's a simulated engine sound when accelerating, which sounds quite exciting. The seats have strong wrapping. The seats of the Ora Lightning Cat are more sporty and a bit stiffer, but the wrapping is good! Additionally, there are many assisted - driving functions, such as rear - side collision warning, lane - keeping warning, and emergency lane - keeping. At first, the warning sounds and the flashing of the ambient lights make driving more fun.

I've been using the car for half a year. I still have to give a thumbs up to my little Lightning Cat. I bought a Black Cat in 2021. After an upgrade, I wanted to reward myself with an upgrade to my ride. I test - drove the Ballet Cat. While hesitating and waiting, I accidentally got the chance to test - drive the Lightning Cat (at the first ORA store in Meixi Lake, Changsha). As soon as I entered the hall, I saw the Lightning Cat. I immediately got in the car to have a feel. The retro interior and the curved T - shaped console made it look like a real sports car. The frameless doors were all things I loved. I really fell in love with it at first sight. I liked it so much that I completely forgot about the Ballet Cat. Hahaha. I immediately went for a test drive with the store staff. The rear seat space is really large. A 168 - centimeter - tall girl can sit there without feeling cramped at all. There is also a panoramic sunroof, which is really beautiful. And the 11 - speaker Infinity audio system creates a super music - listening environment that is irresistible. The atmosphere is great. Also, the feeling of acceleration is indescribable. It's like arousing the restlessness in my heart, and all the cells in my body are about to fly. That day, I chose the color. The exterior color is Tourmaline Gray, which is low - key, luxurious, and steady. I was really struggling with the interior color for several days. Finally, I became the owner of the first Lightning Cat with an all - black interior in Hunan Province. I think when buying a car, you should buy one that suits you and meets your needs. Anyway, whether it's for commuting or going out to meet clients, I always get a lot of attention. Sometimes, I even feel a bit "proud". There are also many user - friendly designs such as the automatic memory seat, vanity mirror, and hook, as well as automatic headlights, automatic windshield wipers, and the "Riding the Waves" mode in rainy days. They are all very, very user - friendly. Additionally, I must emphasize: you don't need to worry at all when driving in the rain. The heated rear - view mirrors are just so nice. And for a sports car series, the noise control is quite good. People who have ridden in my car have never complained about ear pain or excessive noise. Once the windows are closed, the effect is completely different. The interior has a good texture. Hahaha, I always feel like I can't finish talking... It's really worth recommending.
