The GWM Tank 300 isn’t the only vehicle that GWM Philippines previewed at its recent event, as the automaker also gave us a sneak peek of the GWM Ora 03 electric vehicle (EV). While the EV is called the Good Cat in other markets, GWM gave it a different name for the local market. It is a retro-inspired hatchback with a modern and minimalist interior.

In celebration of World EV Day, we would like to share a brief experience driving one of the more popular EVs from a mainstream manufacturer. The Kia e-Niro is a crossover that shares its platform and electric drivetrain with the Hyundai Kona. As you can see, it looks like a raised hatchback, but its extra height lets you be more versatile and agile on the road.
