Design & Presence

The ORA 07 dresses like a compact grand tourer rather than a conventional hatchback, with a low roofline, wide track and sculpted flanks that give it road presence beyond its class. At 4,871 mm long and 1,862 mm wide it sits closer to mid-size cars, so curb and garage clearance matters when shopping for urban parking. Design details — narrow LED headlights, blacked‑out pillars and a coupe‑like rear — keep it modern without being polarising.

Interior & Usability

Inside, the ORA 07 leans on a clean, tech‑first layout with large digital displays and a prominent centre console that avoids fussy buttons, making essential functions easy to reach. Materials range from soft‑touch plastics to stitched panels depending on trim, so perceived quality improves as options rise. Seats are shaped for long‑distance comfort and five adults fit on paper, though the low roofline nudges taller passengers to mind their heads.

Space & Everyday Practicality

Practicality is a mixed bag: the standard trunk holds 333 litres, which is modest for a car this length, but folding rear seats expand cargo to 1,045 litres for weekend trips or flat‑loads. Rear legroom is reasonable thanks to the stretched wheelbase, while a payload of around 350 kg keeps family kit achievable. The ORA 07's nearly 4.9‑metre footprint helps cabin space but makes tight‑city manoeuvres less forgiving than smaller hatchbacks. Parking sensors and optional 360° cameras help compensate for the larger dimensions.

Driving & Handling

The ORA 07 offers two very different driving personalities: a performance‑focused AWD with 408 hp (300 kW) and 680 Nm that sprints 0–100 km/h in about 4.5 seconds, and a more economical FWD with 204 hp (150 kW) and 340 Nm that does 0–100 km/h in roughly 8.2 seconds. Heavier curb weights — roughly 2,210 kg for the AWD and 2,065 kg for the FWD — give the car a planted feel but blunt razor‑sharp turn‑in, so handling prioritises stability over razor precision. Steering is composed and the suspension soaks bumps while keeping body control, which suits long‑distance cruising rather than carving mountain passes. Regeneration settings are adjustable and can add one‑pedal convenience in city traffic.

Efficiency/Consumption & Range

Efficiency figures read 17.5 kWh/100 km for the AWD and 16.5 kWh/100 km for the FWD, paired with battery packs of about 83.5 and 64.3 kWh respectively, yielding WLTP ranges of roughly 520 km and 440 km. In everyday driving expect slightly higher consumption in cold weather or spirited use, so real‑world ranges will often fall short of the headline numbers but still cover most weekly needs without daily charging. The larger battery on the AWD smooths long‑distance touring by reducing range anxiety, while the smaller pack keeps weight and cost down for urban buyers. Rapid charging capability is a key detail to check on local trims, as charging speed dictates how practical longer trips become.

Assistance & Infotainment

The ORA 07 bundles a modern suite of driver aids including adaptive cruise, lane‑keep assistance and automated parking aids, which help on motorways and in tight spots but don't replace attention behind the wheel. Infotainment centres on a large touchscreen and digital cluster with over‑the‑air update potential, and smartphone integration covers the essentials for navigation and media. Physical controls remain where they matter, which aids usability compared with all‑touch rivals.

Who is it for?

The ORA 07 suits buyers who want distinctive design and electric performance without stepping into full‑battery hypercar territory — choose the 408 hp AWD for outright pace and the 204 hp FWD for sensible range and economy. It appeals to style‑conscious families and commuters who value comfort, tech and a roomy cabin more than the last tenth of cornering time. For shoppers prioritising pure cargo capacity or tight‑city agility, smaller hatchbacks or estates remain worth a look.
