What we know about GWM coming to Oakville
Rollout plan: GWM's Canadian entry is expected to begin in late 2026 to early 2027, prioritising high-EV-adoption metros first. Oakville sits within a first-wave province and should see availability shortly after the launch metros. Ontario is part of the first-wave launch region, which shapes when the Ora Good Cat is likely to be orderable locally.
Certification & import status: Before any sale, the GWM Ora Good Cat must meet Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS). New Chinese-made EVs have also faced a 100% import surtax, which directly affects launch timing and pricing. For the current state of play, read our 2026 Chinese EV tariff guide.
Expected Oakville pricing: Estimated at $28,000 CAD with no provincial rebate currently available in Ontario. See the full GWM Ora Good Cat price breakdown for Oakville.
