ORA 5 hybrid SUV launches in Israel from NIS 140,000

Colmobil has begun selling the ORA 5, the first SUV from the ORA brand in Israel, with prices starting at NIS 140,000. ORA, a brand under Great Wall Motor, has been sold in Israel since early 2023, first with the ORA 03 compact and later with the ORA 07 sedan, which is no longer marketed locally.

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 NIS 180,000, the ORA 5 is slightly larger, has a longer wheelbase and higher ground clearance, but a smaller trunk and lower towing capacity.

The model comes with one powertrain, a full hybrid setup pairing a 1.5-liter turbo gasoline engine with 150 hp and an electric motor with 190 hp. Combined output is 223 hp and 48.5 kgm of torque, sent through a reduction transmission to the front wheels. ORA says it reaches 100 kph in 8.7 seconds and returns an official 19.6 km per liter.

Two trim levels are offered. The entry Vibe version includes a 10.25-inch instrument display, a 14.6-inch infotainment screen, wireless phone connectivity, Waze projection on the cluster, heated front seats, a power driver's seat, rear air vents, automatic lights and rain sensors, surround cameras and 18-inch wheels. Safety equipment includes seven airbags, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot intervention, intersection crossing alerts and braking, rear cross-traffic alert with braking, emergency braking during parking maneuvers, driver monitoring, automatic high beam and a rear-seat child reminder.

The Signature trim adds synthetic leather upholstery, a power-adjustable front passenger seat, front seat ventilation, a heated steering wheel, wireless charging, anti-glare mirror, panoramic roof with curtain, power tailgate, tinted rear windows, folding side mirrors and a nine-speaker audio system. A matte paint finish costs an extra NIS 3,000. Warranty coverage is six years or 150,000 km, while the battery is covered for eight years or 150,000 km, and maintenance is required once a year or every 15,000 km.
