Verdict
For a Malaysian buyer, the GWM Ora Good Cat makes the harder numbers work harder: RM109,800 against RM165,000, yet it has 143 hp to the Renault Zoe’s 108 hp, a 57.7 kWh battery versus 52.0 kWh and a marginally longer 400 km range against 395 km. The Zoe fights back with a properly useful 338-litre boot, where the Good Cat has 250 litres, and RM50 road tax instead of RM80. But the RM55,200 gap is too large to ignore.
Pick the GWM Ora Good Cat if you want the lower price, stronger motor, slightly longer range, larger battery and six airbags.
Pick the Renault Zoe if boot space and the lower RM50 annual road tax matter more than purchase price and power.
