Colmobil has begun selling the Ora 5, the first SUV from the Chinese Ora brand in Israel, with prices starting at 140,000 shekels. Ora, a brand under Great Wall Motors, has been sold in Israel since early 2023, first with the Ora 3 hatchback, then with the Ora 7 sedan, which is no longer marketed there.
The Ora 5 is a C-segment crossover measuring 4.47 meters long, 1.83 meters wide and 1.64 meters high, with a 2.72-meter wheelbase, 17.5 cm of ground clearance, a 390-liter trunk and towing capacity of 675 kg, including a braked trailer. The article notes that compared with the Toyota Corolla Cross, which starts at 180,000 shekels, the Ora 5 is slightly larger in most dimensions, but has a smaller cargo area and lower towing capacity.
It comes with one powertrain only, a full-hybrid setup combining a 1.5-liter turbo gasoline engine and an electric motor for a combined 223 hp and 48.5 kgm of torque. Power goes to the front wheels through a reduction gearbox, and the SUV reaches 100 km/h in 8.7 seconds. Claimed fuel economy is 19.6 km per liter.
Two trim levels are offered. The base Vibe includes a 10.25-inch digital cluster, a 14.6-inch infotainment screen, wireless smartphone connectivity, Waze display in the instrument panel, heated front seats, an electrically adjusted driver’s seat, rear air vents, light and rain sensors, surround-view cameras and 18-inch wheels. Safety equipment includes seven airbags, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot intervention, intersection crossing alerts with braking, rear cross-traffic alert with braking, emergency braking for parking maneuvers, driver monitoring, automatic high beam and rear-seat child-reminder alerts.
The higher Signature trim adds synthetic leather upholstery, an electrically adjustable passenger seat, front seat ventilation, a heated steering wheel, wireless phone charging, anti-glare rearview mirror, panoramic roof with shade, electric tailgate, tinted rear windows, folding side mirrors and a nine-speaker audio system. A matte paint option costs an extra 3,000 shekels. The Ora 5 comes with a six-year or 150,000-kilometer warranty, an eight-year or 150,000-kilometer battery warranty, and service intervals of one year or 15,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.
