History[]

In June 2019, ORA presented the R2 EV Concept study as a preview of the third model in the production line of vehicles of this subsidiary of Great Wall Motors.^[2] The car was characterized as a more comfortable alternative to the budget model R1. At the rear, there is a glass pane optically forming one part with a strip of LED lamps running across the width of the body, supplemented by additional lamps in the bumper.^[3]

The model was formally released on July 15, 2020 and renamed the White Cat for production.^[4]
