Verdict
The GWM Ora Good Cat is RM21,100 cheaper at RM109,800 versus RM130,900, yet gets a 143 hp front motor, 57.7 kWh battery and 400 km EV range. It is also much larger, with a 2,650 mm wheelbase against 2,450 mm, though its 250-litre boot loses to the Suzuki’s 265 litres. The Suzuki Swift Sport answers with petrol power, 8.0-second 0-100 km/h pace and a 205 km/h top speed. For daily EV use, the Ora makes the stronger everyday case; for pace, the Swift has the numbers.
Pick the GWM Ora Good Cat if you want the cheaper five-seat B-segment hatch with EV running, 400 km range, a longer wheelbase, AEB and a five-year warranty.
Pick the Suzuki Swift Sport if you want petrol power, the only quoted 0-100 km/h time at 8.0 seconds, a 205 km/h top speed and the slightly bigger boot.
