Fisker will be hosting the European
premiere of the Ocean at the 2020 Geneva Motor Show that kicks off at the
beginning of March. Set to enter production late next year, the electric SUV is
4,640 mm long, 1,930 mm wide and 1,615 mm all. It
offers 566 liters of boot space, which can be expanded to 708 liters by removing the parcel shelf and 1,274 liters with the
rear seats folded down.
Providing the juice for a range of up to
483 km is the 80+ kWh battery. It supports fast charging so users
can fill it up from 15 to 80 percent in just 30 minutes, obtaining more than
322 km of electric drive. The range-topper is estimated to sprint
from 0 to 96 km/h in 2.9 seconds.
Furthermore, the Ocean, which is dubbed as
“the world’s most sustainable vehicle”, features a solar panel roof that can
provide up to 1,610 km of free range each year. The model will be
available with four-wheel drive in all trim levels bar the base grade and will
get a head-up display incorporated into the windshield.
The 16-inch touchscreen infotainment
system and 9.8-inch instrument cluster will complement it, alongside the haptic
touch buttons and augmented reality features. Another standard item across the
range (save for the entry-level model) will be the opening rear hatch glass,
which will allow users to haul long items without having to open the tailgate.
In the United States, the Ocean has an
MSRP of US$ 37,499, which drops to US$ 29,999 with the
federal tax credit. From 2022, it will also be available from US$ 379 per
month, with a US$ 2,999 down payment. Fisker claims that thousands of
customers have already paid US$ 250 each to reserve their Ocean electric
SUVs. The leading countries are the United States, Canada, Germany, United
Kingdom, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, France and Austria.
