GWM has plenty of hybrid and plug-in hybrid SUVs and also its electric Ora hatchback, but it has yet to launch an electric SUV.

Now, an upcoming SUV from GWM’s Ora brand has been revealed in a Chinese government filing shared by Car News China.

The Ora brand specialises in electric hatchbacks, with its Funky Cat – aka 03 – sold here as the GWM Ora.

The new SUV looks, for all intents and purposes, like a higher-riding version of the small hatch, and it could wear the Ora 5 nameplate in global markets.

From some angles you could easily mistake it for the GWM Ora hatch, thanks to its almost identical round headlights, high-mounted horizontal tail-lights, and curvaceous body lines.

It measures 4471mm long, 1883mm wide and 1641mm tall on a 2720mm wheelbase. That makes it 236mm longer, 58mm wider and 11mm taller than the Ora hatch, and almost identical in length to the MG S5 EV small electric SUV.
