Great Wall-Owned ORA Working On ES11 Subcompact Electric Crossover

Great Wall Motors is readying the launch of an all-electric sub-compact crossover through its ORA division that builds electric vehicles.

Car News China recently got its hands on leaked patent images of the new vehicle currently known as the ‘ES11.’ If we had to sum up the exterior design of the EV in a word, we would say it’s ‘cute.’

The front end shares some resemblance to Porsche 911 and VW Beetle models thanks to the round headlights and muscular front haunches. The charging port is located on the front quarter panel while the car depicted in these patents sits on a set of simple five-spoke wheels. As for the rear, it isn’t all that inspiring, but rather than sporting a set of traditional headlights, looks to have a light bar embedded in the rear window.

Details regarding the vehicle’s powertrain remain unconfirmed and likely won’t be known until the car is unveiled later this year. ORA currently builds the iQ, R1, and R2 models, so has a handful of different electric powertrains to choose from with the ES11.

Great Wall Motors established ORA in 2018 and it is understood that production of the ES11 will kick off in October at the company’s plant in Taizhou.
