At yesterday’s GWM Wey G9 HEV and Ora 5 HEV line-off ceremony at EP Manufacturing’s (EPMB) Pegoh, Melaka plant, EPMB executive chairman Hamidon Abdullah mentioned the possibility of local assembly (CKD) of a sedan and a wagon based on the Ora 5 platform.
“(The GWM Ora 5 SUV’s) advanced common platform architecture creates opportunities for further models. We hope GWM will entrust Pegoh with related variants from this platform, including perhaps a sedan, and perhaps a station wagon,” he said in his speech.
We’re really looking into the future here, as GWM has not globally released any such models so far. However, Thailand-based Headlight Magazine reports, citing Car News China, that filings have been made with China’s industry and information technology ministry (MIIT) for these models, and as a result, we have some photos and preliminary details.
