ORA 7 Debuts With Retro Styling in Sedan and Wagon Forms

Great Wall Motor is preparing a new addition to its ORA electric lineup. The upcoming ORA 7 has appeared in China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology database, revealing both sedan and wagon versions ahead of the official launch.

The design stays true to ORA’s familiar retro-inspired formula, but this time the proportions are larger and more unusual. The front end has a rounded shape with circular headlights, a sloping hood and a narrow lower intake. The result is a look that clearly plays with classic European design cues rather than typical modern EV minimalism.

The wagon version is the more distinctive of the two. It combines a soft, rounded nose with a long roofline, curved side panels and a rear hatch. The rear design is simpler, with teardrop-style taillights, a roof spoiler and a rear wiper.

The sedan uses much of the same front-end design but switches to a sleeker roofline and a short trunk instead of a hatch. It also does without the rear wiper, giving it a cleaner tail section.

Both versions share a 2,870 mm wheelbase. The sedan measures 4,820 mm long, while the wagon is slightly longer at 4,890 mm. The sedan also sits lower by 17 mm, which gives it a sportier profile.

Wheel options will include 18- and 19-inch designs, depending on version.

Technical details are still limited, but the ORA 7 will use a lithium-iron-phosphate battery. Two electric motor outputs have been listed: 201 hp and 215 hp. Top speed is rated at up to 180 km/h.

The ORA 7 is not being positioned as a high-performance EV. Instead, it appears to be another style-focused electric model from Great Wall, aimed at buyers who want something more expressive than a conventional sedan or crossover.

With two body styles and a design that mixes retro curves with premium-looking proportions, the ORA 7 should give the brand a more mature entry above its smaller electric models.
