As to the side profile, the two-tone paint, the silvery side-view mirrors, and the more-intricate alloy wheels contribute to the vehicle’s sense of stylishness. The slight tilt behind the C pillar allows for enough headroom for passengers at the rear bench.

The taillights are also shaped like horseshoes. Besides, the ducktail-like rear spoiler accentuates the cuteness of the vehicle.

The ORA Ballet Cat measures 4,401mm long, 1,867mm wide, and 1,633mm tall, with a wheelbase that spans 2,750mm. It comes with six options for body colors.

Styling-wise, the interior of the Ballet Cat has two screens in one oval-shaped pod. The left screen is for the instrument panel and the right one for the infotainment. The soft-color theme continues with pastel blue and pink colors in almost every detail in the cockpit.

The ORA Ballet Cat is driven by a front-wheel-mounted electric motor that is good for a maximum output of 126kW and a peak torque of 250 N·m. The model comes with the choice of a 49.92kWh or a 60.5kWh LFP battery pack, which can offer a range of 401km and 500km respectively.

Notably, batteries on the 401km version are supplied by Gotion High-Tech.
