GWM ORA’s Funky Cat has achieved a five-star rating by Green NCAP, which measures a car according to clean air, energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions.

The Funky Cat scored an overall 97%, with a 10 out of 10 mark for fuel efficiency in both cold and warm starts.

This comes after the model achieved the highest score in the ‘Small Family Car’ category during last year’s Euro NCAP safety tests.

Toby Marshall, Managing Director GWM ORA UK, said, “Not only did ORA Funky Cat achieve a five-star green rating, it also set a new best value figure among Green NCAP tested vehicles. This rating is testament to the quality of the GWM ORA engineering teams and the work they put in to ensuring we deliver the best quality products to our customers.”

Aleksandar Damyanov, Green NCAP Technical Manager said: “Some of the vehicles tested clearly demonstrate the achievements made by industry in the quest for cleaner and less climate damaging cars…the high scores of the five-star Chinese newcomers show they are ready to compete for market share.”
