05 Oct 2026, 11:42 PM	SoyaCincau	1.5	GWM Ora 5 HEV open for booking in Malaysia: 220hp hybrid SUV estimated at RM115k GWM Malaysia has opened order books for the Ora 5 HEV, with an estimated price of RM115,000 and an official launch slated for November 2026. Headline specs: a 148hp 1.5L turbo four paired with a 188hp electric motor, a small 1.09kWh high-voltage battery, a 55L fuel tank, 220hp/476Nm combined, 0-100km/h in 7.7s, and a claimed 1,100km range at a WLTC-rated 4.4L/100km. Interior kit includes a 10.25-inch cluster, 14.6-inch infotainment with wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, a 50W wireless charger, 18-inch wheels and multi-link rear suspension; full local specs come at launch. Why: This is consumer car news with no stated impact on software, tooling, cloud, payments or startup work, so there is nothing here a builder needs to change or decide. The only concrete hook for a Malaysian audience is a price point (RM115k) and a November 2026 launch date, which is useful only if someone on the call is personally shopping for a hybrid SUV — the article says nothing about software, charging networks, APIs or platform policy. malaysia automotive hybrid-ev consumer-tech
