Ora7 spotted in official tax exemption list: mid-size BEV sedan with up to 630km CLTC range

Recently, Ora's all-new mid-size battery electric vehicle (BEV) sedan — the Ora7 — appeared in the Directory of New Energy Vehicles Eligible for Vehicle Purchase Tax Exemption (Batch 32), officially entering public view. As a pivotal model for Ora's push into the mid-to-high-end market, the car has yet to unveil official images or physical prototypes; however, its regulatory filing reveals clear product positioning and technical direction.

According to filings submitted to MIIT and the purchase tax exemption directory, the Ora7 will be equipped with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries in two capacities: 58.3 kWh and 68.9 kWh. These correspond to CLTC all-electric ranges of 535km, 560km, and 630 km — with the 630 km figure representing the longest range among all current Ora production models. Positioned as a mid-size sedan, the vehicle measures 4820mm in length, 1850mm (or 1870mm) in width, and 1520mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2870mm — significantly exceeding the current Good Cat series and approaching mainstream B-segment BEV standards.

Design-wise, the Ora7 carries forward the brand's family language, featuring a BEV-exclusive closed front fascia. Its headlamps are described as "frog-eye" shaped, delivering strong visual distinctiveness. A roof-mounted LiDAR signals support for advanced intelligent driving assistance functions. Side profile lines flow smoothly and elegantly, with a natural transition from the A-pillar to the rear end — balancing rear headroom and trunk depth. The charging port is located on the right front fender, and door handles use a conventional outward-pull design.

Performance specs indicate a top speed of 180km/h, a curb weight of 1985kg, and a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 2385kg. Three tire options are offered: 225/50R18, 235/50R18, and 235/45R19 — catering to diverse user preferences in handling, comfort, and styling. The powertrain features a dual-motor layout, with maximum outputs of 160kW and 150kW respectively. The filing does not specify which motor corresponds to front/rear axle placement, nor does it disclose torque figures or acceleration performance.

Notably, the vehicle supports highly personalized optional equipment: beyond body-color shark-fin antennas, black roof trim, and window frame accent strips, buyers may select alternative roof colors, front bumper trim strips, sill moldings, and rear badges (the filing images show both "Ora7" and what appears to be "Great Wall Motors Lightning Cat R7"). These options suggest Ora is pursuing a modular customization strategy to enhance user engagement and product versatility.
