GWM has applied for an updated version of the Ora Ballet Cat electric hatchback, nicknamed the "Volkswagen Beetle clone" for its resemblance to the iconic German model. A new version of this vehicle is being prepared for market launch with increased power and a new name.

The Ora Ballet Cat electric vehicle was launched in China in 2022, priced between 193,000 and 223,000 yuan (US$28,480 and US$32,905). It was an electric hatchback with an exterior design inspired by the Volkswagen Beetle. It has similar proportions with pronounced wheel arches, a nearly flat windshield, and a sloping roofline. Marketed as a car for women, the Ballet Cat offered a "lady driving mode" that increases the distance from cars in front, a selfie camera, and a "warm man mode" that turns on the heating and air conditioning with one touch to reduce discomfort during menstruation. However, the Ballet Cat was a resounding failure: according to China EV DataTracker, only 8,523 units have been sold since July 2022.
