This is the GWM Ora Vs Nissan Leaf comparison for 2024. Essentially this is a comparison of one of the oldest and arguably the original mass market electric car compared to one of the newest but cheapest electric car you can currently purchase on the Australian market. So how does the oldest electric car brands in the Nissan Leaf compare against the newest and cheapest represented by the GWM Ora.
GWM Ora Vs Nissan Leaf exterior comparison: The Leaf is clearly the older model based on exterior lines. There is nothing fancy about the design of the Leaf. Only its odd alloy wheel design and two tone body colour sets it apart from being any other older hatch model. In comparison the Ora is overall quite a conservative looking car as well. However it’s newer curves and proportions are impressively contemporary but admittedly clone like. We do prefer the look of the Ora.
GWM Ora Vs Nissan Leaf interior comparison: The Leaf interior looks quite aged to be honest but it does have decent quality of materials. In comparison the GWM Ora interior is a couple levels above the Leaf, it is modern and an easily upmarket interior to be in. We definitely prefer to be in the Ora.
GWM Ora Vs Nissan Leaf engine and technology comparison: Both are essentially the same tech package underneath made by different manufacturers. The Leaf has the more refined one pedal driving and is as good as the Tesla implementation.
The conclusion and winner of the GWM Ora Vs Nissan Leaf comparison is the GWM Ora. Let’s face it the GWM Ora is the update that the Nissan Leaf should have had. And without the Leaf as the template the Ora would not have existed. If you want a pure electric car for a decent price buy the GWM Ora. However the main condition of the comparison win is that: as long as it’s priced (at the time of the post) at 36K on the road for the entry level model.
