2 Answers
The Great Wall Ora iQ Zhizun model has a range of 421km, while the Jinqu, Zhilian, and Zhixiang models all have a range of 401km. Below are the detailed specifications of the Great Wall Ora iQ: 1. Vehicle Positioning: The Ora iQ is positioned as a pure electric crossover, with dimensions of 4445mm*1735mm*1567mm and a wheelbase of 2615mm. 2. Configuration: The Ora iQ is equipped with Bosch's 9th-generation ESP electronic stability program, ABS anti-lock braking system, EBD electronic brake-force distribution system, HBA emergency braking assist system, HHC hill-start assist control, VDC vehicle dynamic control, intelligent parking system, right blind-spot monitoring system, real-time rearview camera, rear parking sensors, TPMS active tire pressure monitoring system, and many other active safety features. 3. Powertrain: It is powered by a BorgWarner permanent magnet synchronous motor, with a maximum power output of 120 kW and a maximum torque of 280 Nm. The 0-100 km/h acceleration time is under 8.9 seconds.
I drove an Ora iQ for a full year, commuting 50 kilometers daily. The official range is 401 kilometers, but the actual performance was quite different. In summer with the AC on, it could only manage around 350 kilometers, and in winter with the heater running, the range dropped even more sharply, barely reaching 320 kilometers. Frequent highway driving also drained the battery faster, with 300 kilometers being the best-case scenario. However, it was sufficient for daily commutes—I charged once a week, and having a home charging station made it very convenient. The car's battery management is decent; after 20,000 kilometers, I didn't notice significant degradation. My advice to EV buyers: don't just focus on the specs—expect real-world range to be about 80% of the claimed figure, and always consider charging convenience.
