Verdict
At RM109,800, the GWM Ora Good Cat costs RM55,200 less than the Renault Zoe yet brings 143 hp, a 57.7-kWh battery and 400 km of quoted range. The Zoe counters with a usefully larger 338-litre boot and 22-kW AC charging, far ahead of 6.6 kW. Its 395-km range is only 5 km short, so access to high-power AC charging matters more than the headline figure. For Malaysian ownership, the Good Cat’s five-year/150,000-km vehicle warranty and eight-year/180,000-km battery cover are decisive.
Pick the GWM Ora Good Cat if you want the RM55,200 saving, stronger 143-hp motor, more safety assistance and longer warranty cover.
Pick the Renault Zoe if a 338-litre boot and 22-kW AC charging suit your daily routine better than outright equipment and price.
