On October 31, ORA brand's new model - ORA Lightning Cat officially launched, the car currently has two points more attractive to me, one is the car belongs to the pure electric four-door coupe, the overall shape is quite personal; second is the ORA Lightning Cat maximum range of up to 705km (CLTC), in the industry also belongs to the top level The second is that the ORA Lightning Cat has a maximum range of 705km (CLTC), which is one of the best in the industry. Of course, to answer the question of whether the ORA Lightning Cat is worth getting, we also need to fully consider the car's product power, so let's talk about it in detail below.
Let's first macro understanding of the market positioning of ORA Flash Cat, first of all, the price, ORA Flash Cat full series guide price range of 189,800-269,800 yuan. Secondly, ORA Lightning Cat is positioned as a medium-sized sedan, which provides a variety of range versions and various power types in the whole series. From the basic car information, ORA Lightning Cat is still quite rich in choice, and combined with the positioning of the car, I think its price is still quite sincere, today we will take ORA Lightning Cat 2022 600km 4WD Performance Edition (hereinafter referred to as: ORA Lightning Cat) model as an example, to analyze the performance of the car's product power.
As I mentioned earlier, one of the parts that attracted me to the ORA Lightning Cat is the exterior styling, so let's start with that. The official positioning of ORA Lightning Cat is "super streamlined pure electric coupe", so the theory is that the car will have a good streamline shape. Specifically, the front design of the ORA Lightning Cat is relatively simple, but the center of the front has a clear line of demarcation, and the level is relatively clear. At the same time, ORA Lightning Cat adopts the design of round headlights, and the hood line is also trying to adapt to the shape of the headlights, its overall recognition is high, and a strong sense of muscle.
On the side, the slender lines of the ORA Lightning Cat, together with the large sliding back design, do show the streamlined shape of the car. At the same time, the side lines of ORA Lightning Cat are also relatively simple, and it retains a large number of complete type design, which, together with the hidden door handles, can optimize the aerodynamic performance of the whole car. In fact, the wind resistance coefficient of ORA Lightning Cat is only 0.22Cd, which is basically the first-class level in the industry. In addition, ORA Lightning Cat also adopts the design of frameless doors, which is visually cooler and more in line with the positioning of "coupe".
The rear part of the car is shorter, and the large back design makes it look more like a crossover. At the same time, ORA Lightning Cat adopts the design of wide shoulders, and the car as a whole also has a wide visual effect. Although the ORA Lightning Cat does not adopt the popular through-tail lamp design, its "shaped" tail lamp cluster is still highly recognizable. In addition, ORA Lightning Cat is also equipped with adaptive electric rear wing, which is in line with the identity of "coupe" and can enhance the sense of sportiness. In terms of appearance, I think the ORA Lightning Cat has a relatively high value and is more suitable for young men and women.
In the interior, ORA Lightning Cat adopts a new design idea, in this car, you can hardly see the shadow of other ORA products, but the final visual effect I think is still outstanding. The interior of ORA Lightning Cat adopts the symmetrical "T" style layout, and the overall layout is very neat, and the visual effect is more atmospheric. At the same time, the ORA Lightning Cat adopts the design of a suspended center control screen, which is relatively common, but the three barrel LCD instrument panel is a relatively new design, and its visual effect is very good. In addition, the T-zone of ORA Lightning Cat also retains some physical buttons and knobs, which is similar to some old supercars and is also a retro design that can balance convenience and visual effects. On the whole, the interior of ORA Lightning Cat has more innovations, and its overall atmosphere is quite good.
Since we have talked about the interior, let's take a look at the corresponding internal functions of the ORA Flash Cat and the corresponding configuration, after all, for the new car in 2022, the intelligent technology configuration is also quite important, let's take a look at the performance of the ORA Flash Cat in detail. Conventional human-computer interaction level, ORA Lightning Cat is equipped with a car networking system, OTA upgrade function, while the built-in 8155 chip, 5G network, the basic software and hardware are relatively in place. In terms of specific functions, ORA Lightning Cat can realize mainstream functions such as voice interaction and cell phone APP car control, and also supports facial recognition, high precision map and other functions, and its overall performance also belongs to the upper middle level of the industry.
At the level of intelligent driving and active safety, ORA Lightning Cat is equipped with 26 sensing sensors, and it supports L2 level intelligent driving assistance. At the same time, ORA Flash Cat also supports lighted lane change and HWA+NOH high-speed piloting assistance functions, and strictly speaking, ORA Flash Cat's intelligent driving assistance can reach L2+ level. In addition, ORA Lighting Cat also only supports automatic parking and tracer reversing. At the active safety level, ORA Flash Cat comes with parallel assist, reverse vehicle side warning, emergency steering assist and other functions. In terms of conventional configuration, ORA Lightning Cat comes with electric tailgate, heated steering wheel, HUD head-up display, front acoustic glass and other configurations, its overall configuration is quite rich.
The space level, after all, is a coupe, the car's line design is also based on streamline, which makes me worry about the actual space performance of the car. In terms of dimensions, the length, width and height of the ORA Lightning Cat are 4871, 1862 and 1500mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2870mm, the overall size of the car belongs to the upper middle class of medium-sized sedans. Reflecting on the specific space, the ORA Lightning Cat has ample legroom, but after all, the car adopts the sliding back shape, and its rear headroom only belongs to the adequate level.
In terms of seat function, the front seats of the ORA Lightning Cat are electrically adjustable, as they should be. At the same time, the front seats of ORA Lightning Cat are equipped with heating, ventilation and massage functions, so the overall function is quite comprehensive.
At the rear level, ORA Lightning Cat is equipped with air conditioning vents, USB charging port, and heated seats, and the rear functions of ORA Lightning Cat are in the mainstream of the same class in view of the price.
At the trunk level, the rear seats of the ORA Lightning Cat support proportional down, while it has an electric tailgate, and its overall performance is moderate.
Power and range, for pure electric vehicles, this is also a key part. As mentioned earlier, the ORA Lightning Cat offers a variety of range and power versions, with the longest range CLTC model having a range of 705km, which is quite outstanding. However, the model we selected today belongs to the "strong power" model in the ORA Lightning Cat series, which is equipped with dual motors at the front and rear, with a maximum power of 300kW and a maximum torque of 680N-m. The car can achieve 4.3 seconds to break 100, which is quite powerful. At the same time, ORA Lightning Cat is equipped with 83.49kWh battery pack, and the CLTC range of the car can reach 600km, which is also a good performance.
In the end: The previous ORA brand's Good Cat and Ballet Cat are products that favor female consumers, while this time the ORA Lightning Cat, I think the car is a "unisex" product. From my personal point of view, the exterior and interior of ORA Lightning Cat hit my aesthetics. At the same time, from the perspective of product power, the space of ORA Lightning Cat can reach the mainstream level in its class, and its intelligent technology configuration also has a strong competitive edge. In addition, the power and range of ORA Lightning Cat can reach the middle and upper level in the industry at present. To sum up, I think the product power of ORA Lightning Cat is still very balanced, and the car is also worth getting.
