1. Powertrain & Combustion Architecture

The GWM ORA 5 HEV debuts GWM’s Hi2 Hybrid System, combining a dedicated 1.5-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with a high-output P3 drive motor and a 2-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT).

• Combustion Engine Code: GWM 1.5T Dedicated Hybrid Engine (DHE)
• Cylinder Configuration: In-line 4-cylinder, transverse front-mounted
• Displacement: 1,499 cc (1.5 Litres)
• Valvetrain: Double Overhead Camshaft (DOHC), 16 valves with continuous variable valve timing (VVT)
• Induction: Turbocharged with air-to-air intercooler
• Combustion Engine Output: 110 kW (150 PS / 148 bhp) @ 5,500 – 6,000 RPM
• Combustion Engine Torque: 240 Nm @ 1,800 – 4,000 RPM
• Electric Traction Motor (EDU): Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (P3 direct-drive layout with millisecond-level mechanical decoupling)
• Electric Motor Output: 140 kW (190 PS) and 236 Nm
• Combined System Power Output:164 kW (223 PS / 220 hp)
• Combined System Torque Output:476 Nm (351 lb-ft)
• Acceleration (0–100 km/h): 7.7 seconds
• Top Speed: 180 km/h (Electronically limited)

2. Transmission, Battery & Hybrid Kinematics

The Hi2 powertrain operates on a multi-mode series-parallel architecture that optimizes mechanical and electrical path efficiency across urban, climbing, and high-speed driving envelopes.

• Transmission Type: 2-Speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (2-Speed DHT)
• Drivetrain Layout: Front-Engine, Front-Wheel Drive (FF)
• Traction Battery Chemistry: High-rate Lithium-ion cell pack
• Traction Battery Capacity: 1.09 kWh (Usable for continuous buffer cycling and instant electric torque assist)
• Operating Logic:
  • EV Mode: Driven solely by the 190 PS electric motor for initial acceleration and low-speed parking lot crawling.
  • Series Mode: The 1.5T engine runs at its peak thermal efficiency sweet spot acting as a generator to feed electrical energy directly to the battery and drive motor.
  • Parallel Mode (1st Gear): Direct mechanical engine drive engaged through low-ratio gearing for aggressive overtaking, payload hauling, or steep hill climbs.
  • Parallel Mode (2nd Gear): Taller overdrive gear engaged for high-speed highway cruising to eliminate electric motor back-EMF drag and optimize fuel burn.
  • Regenerative Braking Mode: Converts kinetic deceleration into electrical charge fed back into the 1.09 kWh battery pack.
