ORA Grand Cat, the luxurious electric cat

ORA Grand Cat, also known in China as the ORA Lightning Cat, is a 4-door electric sedan designed to be more luxurious and larger than any other ORA model, with a 5-seat coupé shape with a roofline curved to the end of the car Under the design concept of smooth, round and minimal floors, all sub-models sold in China will have a panoramic glass roof as standard equipment. And if you remember, the ORA design team used to be the same design team for luxury sports cars like Porsche, so the smell of Porsche is inevitably still attached to the ORA Grand Cat electric brand.

As well as designing the car to have perfect luxury The full range of technology of the Great Wall Motor camp that really understands the needs of customers. Another ORA has been doing well in Thailand since its first release, and the Grand Cat ORA is expected to still have the same drivetrain as the one available in China. These are the six L2+ equivalents to the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) autonomous vehicle standard Grand Cat ORA is slightly higher than L2 with partial driver assistance.

It will feature the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) built into the ADAS dash cam, which will work in conjunction with Mobile Eye’s EYEQ4 autopilot control chip to provide control over a full pre-determined speed range. Including pausing and restarting back to the previously set speed. The car will slow down and stop following the car in front. And when the car in front moves after braking within 3 seconds, the car will automatically follow the car in front. There will be a tracking distance.

Combined with an intelligent cruise control (ICA) function, which will operate according to the speed set by the driver. But it will detect the car in front of you to keep a safe distance. Along with low speed cruise control (TJA), which will automatically control the speed when using low speed. Allows to follow the car in front or continue driving at a constant speed to reduce the burden on the driver.

when it comes to having to stop in an emergency Autonomous Emergency Braking on straight paths and intersections (AEBI) is one of the best in its class L2+ with Pedestrian and Crossroads Detection, which calculates the distance between the car and the pedestrian in time real There is an audible alarm and automatic braking. Help avoid collisions or reduce impact. It also has a quick emergency braking system. By using the radar to detect stationary obstacles or pedestrians moving in the opposite direction. and if it is found that there is a risk of a collision the system will help to brake automatically. The speed when reversing should not exceed 8 km / h.

and when the driver is tired Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) assists steering automatically to keep the vehicle in its lane. by identifying road lane lines through a camera on the front window when the driver unknowingly deviates into the lane The system will help control the steering wheel to return the car to the lane immediately. Also, when the monitoring system detects that the driver has unsafe driving characteristics, the system will notify you with a sound. This will work in conjunction with the Lane Departure Warning (LDW) warning system when the vehicle leaves the lane. when the vehicle deviates from the lane unknowingly the system will beep to give the driver more time to react. When the driver sneezes, is tired, etc., which may cause the vehicle to deviate from the lane The system will notify immediately.

The subsystem for keeping the car in the safe lane also has a Lane Keeping Assist (LCK) system to help control the car in the middle of the lane at all times. and a system to help control the car in the emergency lane (ELK), and another car will come if detected or a passing car coming up from another lane The system will intervene more to avoid or reduce collisions. In addition, ORA Grand Cat also has a heavy vehicle side approach avoidance system (WDS), which monitors large trucks or long-sized vehicles that are in overtaking The system maintains a reasonable distance between cars in order to avoid collisions. And it will support the car to return to the original lane automatically

However, when the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is used, Intelligent Turn is also available. There will be a camera that monitors the curvature of the road. And adjust the speed automatically if it is necessary to reduce the speed when cornering for safety. and when the curve has passed the car will return to the original set speed. It also has Hill Start Assist (HSA) to help start from a stop on steep slopes. The brake will remain on for approximately 2 seconds until the throttle operates to prevent reversing.

There is also a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), where the car continuously measures tire pressure and alerts the driver if any tire pressure drops. And a 360-degree surround view camera, which includes 4 cameras that can be seen all around, with instant resolution
4 Megapixel, the system combines all 4 camera views to create a 360-degree image to show the view of the car in a “Helicopter” and is automatically activated when entering the reversible mode. It can only be seen when driving at a speed of 15 or 30 kilometers per hour and when starting the car.

and there are also highlights of important technologies such as 3-Axis Automated Parking Assistance (IAP), which uses sensors and cameras to detect objects and markings in parking spaces or parking spaces. And helps to fully control the car to park either vertically, horizontally or on an incline, when pressing to confirm, indicating the place to park the car The car will park itself by controlling the steering wheel, brakes and accelerator until the end of the parking process.

When reversing, there is also a reversing blind spot warning system (RCTA), with sensors to help monitor the vehicle’s rear blind spots on the left and right side of the lane when reversing. when reversing out of the parking space into the traffic lane The rear sensors of the car will check the left and right side of the traffic lane and Send an audible and visual alarm If the driver ignores the vehicle and does not stop, the automatic emergency braking system will be activated to reduce speed and stop the vehicle to avoid a collision.

There is also a driver fatigue warning system (DFM) to help assess and analyze the driving behavior occurring with the vehicle. such as steering angle, braking, lighting control and rainwater driving time If you find that your driving style is tiring or after driving at a speed above 80 kilometers per hour And driving for more than 4 hours, the system will warn with visual and sound for 20 seconds every 10 minutes, which can only be reset when the car is stopped.
