GWM Ora 03 Features Make It Easy to Find Parking

KatadataOTO – GWM Ora 03 is here for Indonesian millennial consumers who want to stand out. This is because of its classic appearance.

Unlike electric cars in general in Indonesia. This competitor to the Wuling Binguo EV offers many advantages.

The features offered support driving comfort. Thus, it is claimed to be suitable for millennial consumers.

One of them is the gear lever located on the center console. It's interesting because there is no P or Parking gear.

It should be noted that when in the P position, the transmission will be locked. Making the rear wheels unable to move.

Therefore, the car cannot move forward or backward. This is related to vehicle safety and is a common feature in cars with automatic transmissions.

“The GWM Ora 03 intentionally does not include a Parking feature. This is to make it easier for consumers when parallel parking,” said Angga S. Putra, Product Expert at GWM Indonesia, during the Ora 03 Media Drive in Bogor (09/07).

Finding parking in Jakarta and a number of other big cities is a challenge in itself. It is quite difficult to find a parking spot, both at offices and malls.

As a result, some places implement parallel parking. With the condition that the car must not engage the parking brake and the P gear.

There is a special way to deactivate the parking brake. Especially on vehicles that already use electric technology.

There is also a special technique to move the gear lever from P to N (Neutral). To be able to parallel park, as some brands implement different methods.

The GWM Ora 03 does not have a P gear feature. So, if you want to parallel park, just move the lever to N.

As an electric car, the GWM Ora 03 certainly does not have a transmission system. Automatically, the P position is only to activate the parking brake.

Ora 03 consumers must adapt to the aforementioned feature. Because when in the N position, the vehicle can roll freely forward or backward.

This is dangerous, especially when on an uneven road surface.

This can be overcome by activating the auto hold feature. As a result, safety in daily driving is better guaranteed.

Because the driver does not need to step on the brake pedal when stopping at a traffic light.
