ORA 07

ORA 07: which version to buy (AT 63 kWh vs AT 83 kWh 204 hp vs AT 83 kWh 408 hp)

There is one generation of the ORA 07 (from 2022-10-01, still in production, Fastback, 3 versions). The buying choice is not “which generation” — it is which of three electric Fastbacks to take: AT 63 kWh (204 hp, FWD), AT 83 kWh 204 hp (FWD), or AT 83 kWh 408 hp (AWD). Same name on two 83 kWh cars must be split by power: 204 hp versus 408 hp.

There is one generation of the ORA 07 (from 2022-10-01, still in production, Fastback, 3 versions). The buying choice is not “which generation” — it is which of three electric Fastbacks to take: AT 63 kWh (204 hp, FWD), AT 83 kWh 204 hp (FWD), or AT 83 kWh 408 hp (AWD). Same name on two 83 kWh cars must be split by power: 204 hp versus 408 hp. The 63 kWh and 83 kWh 204 hp cars share 204 hp, 150 kW, 340 Nm, 170 km/h, FWD, 1-speed Automatic, and 1930 kg kerb weight. The 408 hp AT 83 kWh doubles power and torque (408 hp / 300 kW / 680 Nm), adds AWD, raises top speed to 180 km/h, lists 0–100 in 4.3 s, and weighs 2115 kg. Battery size in the name is 63 kWh versus 83 kWh; consumption, range, tank, ground clearance, wheels, and gross weight are not measured on any version.

Specs: three versions, two names

All three versions start 2022-10-01 with no stop date. Body type is Fastback. Fuel and engine type are Electro. Gearbox is Automatic with 1 speed. Cylinders, cylinder layout, valves per cylinder, boost, engine layout, displacement, compression, bore and stroke, and feed system are not measured (electric drivetrain in the data).

The two FWD cars are identical in every measured powertrain number. The only measured difference between AT 63 kWh and AT 83 kWh 204 hp in this dataset is the battery figure in the version name: 63 kWh versus 83 kWh (+20 kWh, about 32% more pack size in the name). Power, torque, drive, gearbox, top speed, kerb weight, suspension, and brakes match.

The 408 hp AT 83 kWh is a different car on the same Fastback generation: +204 hp, +150 kW, +340 Nm versus either 204 hp version (exactly 2.0× power, 2.0× kW, 2.0× torque). Drive is AWD instead of FWD. Top speed is 180 km/h versus 170 km/h (+10 km/h). Kerb weight is 2115 kg versus 1930 kg (+185 kg, about 9.6% heavier).

Engine and power: what the extra output buys

There is no displacement in the data, so power per litre is not measured for any ORA 07 version. Weight per horsepower is measurable.

AT 63 kWh and AT 83 kWh 204 hp: 1930 kg ÷ 204 hp ≈ 9.46 kg per hp (about 0.106 hp per kg). Peak 340 Nm is the same on both FWD cars.

AT 83 kWh 408 hp: 2115 kg ÷ 408 hp ≈ 5.18 kg per hp (about 0.193 hp per kg). Versus the FWD cars that is about 1.83× the power-to-weight (0.193 / 0.106). Torque is 680 Nm, double the 340 Nm of the FWD pair. The extra 185 kg does not cancel the extra 204 hp: specific output still almost doubles.

If the question is “do I need the second 83 kWh nameplate?”, the 204 hp AT 83 kWh does not buy more hp, kW, or Nm than AT 63 kWh. It buys the larger pack figure in the name (83 versus 63). If the question is “do I need AWD and 408 hp?”, only the 408 hp AT 83 kWh answers that: AWD, 300 kW, 680 Nm, 180 km/h, and a measured 4.3 s 0–100.

Performance and mpg: 0–100, top speed, consumption

0–100 km/h: not measured for AT 63 kWh; not measured for AT 83 kWh 204 hp; 4.3 s for AT 83 kWh 408 hp. The only timed car in the catalogue is the AWD 408 hp version.

Top speed: 170 km/h on AT 63 kWh and on AT 83 kWh 204 hp; 180 km/h on AT 83 kWh 408 hp. The AWD car is 10 km/h faster at the limiter; the two FWD cars are equal.

City consumption: not measured on all three. Highway: not measured on all three. Combined / mpg: not measured on all three. CO2: not measured. Eco class: not measured. Tank: not measured (Electro). There is no mpg ranking possible from this dataset. Pack size in the names (63 kWh vs 83 kWh) is the only energy-store figure given; range is not measured.

Dimensions, weight, and chassis

Kerb weight: 1930 kg on AT 63 kWh; 1930 kg on AT 83 kWh 204 hp; 2115 kg on AT 83 kWh 408 hp. Gross weight: not measured on all three. Ground clearance: not measured on all three. Wheel sizes: not measured on all three. Tank: not measured on all three.

Front suspension on all three: Independent, spring. Rear suspension on all three: Independent, spring. Front brakes: Ventilated disc. Rear brakes: Disc ventilated (label as in the data). Chassis wording does not change between versions. The 185 kg extra on the 408 hp AT 83 kWh is the measured mass cost of the AWD, 408 hp / 680 Nm setup versus the FWD 204 hp cars.

Because wheels, clearance, and gross weight are not measured, you cannot pick a version for tyre size, ride height, or payload from this catalogue.

Generations: what changed (one generation only)

ORA 07 has 1 generation: 1 generation, Fastback, from 2022-10-01, stop not measured (still listed). Restyling is not in the data. There is no second generation to compare, no year-to-year body change, and no extra Fastback versus another body. All three versions sit in that one generation with the same start date. “Which generation to buy” is not a choice; “which of the three 2022-on Fastbacks” is.

Problems and reliability

Problems: not measured. Reliability: not measured. No failure rates, warranty figures, or known-fault lists are in the data. Do not infer durability from kerb weight or from 408 hp versus 204 hp.

Which version to choose

Choose AT 63 kWh if the measured powertrain is enough and the smaller pack name is acceptable: 204 hp, 150 kW, 340 Nm, FWD, Automatic 1, 170 km/h, 1930 kg. Versus the 204 hp AT 83 kWh you give up 20 kWh in the version name and nothing else that this dataset measures (same hp, Nm, drive, speed, weight, suspension, brakes). Versus the 408 hp AT 83 kWh you give up 204 hp, 340 Nm, AWD, 10 km/h of top speed, the only 0–100 figure (4.3 s), and you stay 185 kg lighter.

Choose AT 83 kWh (204 hp) if you want the 83 kWh name on the same 204 hp FWD car as AT 63 kWh. Arithmetic: +20 kWh in the name, +0 hp, +0 Nm, +0 kg, same 170 km/h, still FWD. This is the “same motor, larger pack label” pick. It is not a quicker car in any measured speed or acceleration number, because 0–100 is not measured and top speed matches AT 63 kWh.

Choose AT 83 kWh (408 hp) if the numbers you care about are AWD, double output, and a timed sprint. You pay 185 kg (2115 vs 1930) and still land at about 5.18 kg/hp versus 9.46 kg/hp on the FWD pair. Power 408 vs 204, torque 680 vs 340, kW 300 vs 150, drive AWD vs FWD, top speed 180 vs 170, 0–100 4.3 s vs not measured. Pack name is the same 83 kWh as the 204 hp AT 83 kWh; the difference between those two same-named cars is 204 hp / 340 Nm / FWD / 1930 kg / 170 km/h versus 408 hp / 680 Nm / AWD / 2115 kg / 180 km/h / 4.3 s.

Prices are not in the data, so “what the extra money buys” can only be stated in hardware: 63→83 kWh in the name at unchanged 204 hp; or 204→408 hp, FWD→AWD, 1930→2115 kg, 170→180 km/h, and a 4.3 s 0–100 that the other two versions do not list. If you cannot decide between the two 204 hp cars, the dataset only separates them by 63 kWh versus 83 kWh in the name. If you cannot decide between the two AT 83 kWh cars, separate them by 204 hp FWD versus 408 hp AWD — same string, different power, as required.
