The 2025 GWM ORA Lux arrives in Australia with a clear mission: to deliver electric mobility in a compact, feature-rich package that fits salary-packaged and fleet settings. With a strong value proposition and modern EV credentials, the ORA Lux is positioned as one of the most accessible EVs for drivers considering novated leasing.
The ORA Lux has a drive-away price of AU$34,490 in Australia. With this pricing, it sits comfortably beneath many luxury EV thresholds and offers employers and employees a strong entry point into electric vehicle adoption.
The ORA Lux is powered by a single motor driving the front wheels, delivering 126 kW and 250 Nm of torque. Acceleration from 0–100 km/h is quoted at approximately 9.0 seconds, making it competent if not rapid by EV standards. While the performance specs are modest, they are appropriate for a value-oriented EV in this price class.
The updated 2025 model uses a 57.7 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery, delivering a WLTP-rated range of approximately 400 km for the Lux grade. AC charging capability is listed at up to 11 kW, and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality is supported up to around 6 kW. While DC fast-charging specifications are less widely publicised, the range and battery size put the ORA Lux in a credible position for everyday urban and suburban use.
The ORA Lux offers a compact footprint (approx. 4,235 mm length, 2,650 mm wheelbase) and a practical hatchback layout. Key features include large-format screens (10.25-inch instrument display and 10.25-inch touchscreen), wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, wireless phone charging, and a full active safety suite such as AEB, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring and 360° camera. For buyers, the ORA Lux strikes a solid balance between technology, usability and everyday functionality.
GWM supports the ORA range with a 7-year/unlimited-km vehicle warranty and an 8-year/160,000 km battery warranty. Service intervals are typically annual or every 12 months/15,000 km, helping to stabilise cost-of-ownership planning under a novated lease.
For employees and organisations considering salary-packaged vehicles, the 2025 ORA Lux offers several strategic benefits:
Entry-level pricing means more accessible lease payments and lower instalments.
Fully electric drive train may qualify for the FBT exemption (subject to ATO and employer conditions).
Reliable warranty coverage and modern tech-rich features reduce perceived risk for fleet decision-makers.
Hatchback layout and compact size suit everyday commuting, urban parking, and mixed-use driving.
The 2025 GWM ORA Lux is a compelling choice for those seeking an affordable entry into electric vehicle ownership via novated leasing. While it doesn’t match the performance or charging speed of premium EVs, it offers credible range, strong feature content and value-driven pricing. For drivers focused on efficient, practical and modern electric mobility rather than outright performance, the ORA Lux stands out as a smart choice.
Whether you’re looking to maximise tax savings, simplify your car expenses, or switch to an EV, Prosperity Smart Drive can help you find the right novated lease solution.
