The Ora Ballet Cat (Chinese: 欧拉芭蕾猫; pinyin: Ōulā bālěi māo) is a battery electric compact hatchback produced by Chinese EV manufacturer Ora, a marque of Great Wall Motors since 2022.

Overview

The Ora Ballet Cat was previewed by the Ora Punk Cat concept at Auto Shanghai on 21 April 2021 in Shanghai, China, alongside the Ora Lightning Cat. Its styling is controversial as the car heavily resembles the Type 1 Volkswagen Beetle.

The Ballet Cat could be had with a LFP battery for 49.92 kWh (179.7 MJ) supporting a CLTC range of 401 km (249 mi) or a LFP battery for 60.5 kWh (218 MJ) supporting a CLTC range of 500 km (311 mi).
