Illumination comes from LEDs for the front automatic headlights with follow-me-home function and high-beam assist, daytime running lights, mood lamp partition, rear combination lights and rear fogs.
For added comfort, acoustic glass has been fitted for the front doors and windscreen which are kept clear by its automatic wipers.
While using an 83.5kWh Ternary Lithium battery for both variants, it delivers the proverbial juice to a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor that produces 204PS (150kW) and 340Nm.
This allows the entry-level Ora 07 to travel up to 640km (NEDC) and sprint from 0 to 100kph in 7.9 seconds before topping out at 170kph.
The Performance AWD drivetrain is touted to have up to 550km of range instead while having 408PS (300Kw) and 680Nm of torque - allowing it to launch from 0 to 100kph in 4.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 180kph.
Six driving modes of Normal, Well-being, Sport, Eco, Individual and Turbo (Performance only) are available.
The tilt and telescopically adjustable electric power steering wheel has three levels of heft for drivers to choose from including Light, Comfort and Sport.
The battery can be charged via a Type-2 AC charging port at up to 11kW which will take about 15 hours to bring its SoC from 0 to 100%.
Charging via its fast CCS2 DC charging port which can accept up to 88kW is able to bring its SoC from 30% to 80% in 32 minutes.
Inside, the cabin is nothing short of luxury and comfort with faux leather for the steering wheel as well as the front ventilated seats and rear bench.
