“While it punches above its weight on kit and cabin tech, you might expect the Funky Cat’s rivals to show it a clean pair of heels on the road. But that isn’t the case. In most situations, it performs well; the ride is just the right side of firm, giving you a feeling of attachment to the road without being uncomfortable.”

“This is a solid if not outstanding initial gambit from Ora that’ll certainly appeal to those more focused on style than sensibility.”

“The Funky Cat is a strong start, despite one or two weak points and an unusual name that a few may be unable to look past. Those that can will find the Funky Cat an interesting alternative to rival hatchbacks like the Volkswagen ID.3 at prices that could even tempt buyers from smaller electric city cars like the Fiat and MINI.”

“You might choose it just for the looks, quality and technology, but the Ora Funky Cat is good to drive too. Rivals have a longer range and can charge faster, but that might not worry drivers who rarely venture out of town.”

“The ORA Funky Cat has characterful exterior styling, an interesting interior, the refinement that you would expect from an EV, and decent driving dynamics. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the quality of the car, especially the cabin.”

“A welcome addition to the electric hatchback segment, the Ora Funky Cat is a well-polished, premium EV that brings just enough joie de vivre to make some European marques sweat. Its retro-styled charm is a breath of fresh air and there’s no denying it’s a good electric car that offers excellent value for money.” (Sam Phillips)

“This is a solid if not outstanding initial gambit from Ora that’ll certainly appeal to those more focused on style than sensibility. It’s certainly a bigger option with a longer range than the similarly retro MINI Electric, although we’d prefer an MG4 or Renault Megane.”

“Funky Cat is different but it doesn’t move the game on. If you really want a smart, do-it-all electric car, go and try a Kia Niro. That’s the Top Cat.”

“The Funky Cat has its problems, including the price tag and the comparatively small battery, but it’s still a competitive product, nonetheless. The driving experience and cabin quality are both a match for the Funky Cat’s rivals, and the in-car technology is impressive.”

“The indicators are a nightmare: it’s a light touch for a quick indicate and a heavy touch when you’re sat at a junction, but it’s all too easy to press too hard.”

“The Funky Cat has an excellent safety rating and a decent warranty. The trouble is, there are a lot of small electric car rivals that cost similar money or less, and most of them are better to drive and better inside. The poor infotainment system and small boot compound matters.”

“If you like to stand out and you can handle the name, the Ora Funky Cat could be the small EV for you. It has personality by the bucketload, provides a respectable range, and gives the likes of the Honda e and Mini Electric a run for their money. But there’s no denying this is a Chinese oddball, and it’s not as fun to drive as it looks.” (Tim Barnes-Clay)
