The Fisker Ocean has celebrated its European debut at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Set to go into production in November and arrive in selected European countries shortly thereafter, the Ocean is an electric crossover that features “beautiful craftsmanship, ingenious engineering, innovation, affordability, and sustainability.” Since we’ve already seen the model, we’ll remind you it comes nicely equipped with LED lighting units, a panoramic glass roof, a power liftgate, and 20-inch alloy wheels. Buyers will also find a PowerBank system that features an external outlet as well as vehicle-to-vehicle charging and vehicle-to-home backup power.
Moving into the cabin, there’s a digital
instrument cluster and a 17.1-inch infotainment system. They’re joined by a digital rearview mirror
and an eight-speaker Harman audio system. The model also sports an assortment
of standard driver assistance systems including automatic emergency braking,
blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist, parking assist, and traffic sign
recognition technology.
A handful of different trims will be
available and the entry-level Ocean Sport has a front-mounted electric motor
that produces 275 hp. It will be powered by a Touring Range
battery that enables the crossover to travel an estimated 440 km under the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure. Moving up the trim
ladder is the Ocean Ultra, which has a dual-motor all-wheel drive system with
540 hp. This cuts the 0-100 km/h time to 4.2
seconds, while the Hyper Range battery allows for an increased range of
approximately 610 km.
One step up is the Ocean Extreme and Ocean
One Launch Edition. Both feature an upgraded dual-motor all-wheel drive system
that develops 550 hp and this enables the models to
accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. The range-topping
crossovers also have a Hyper Range battery that should give them a range of 630 km in the WLTP cycle.
Prices vary by country, but the Ocean
starts at £ 34,990 in the United Kingdom, € 41,560 in Germany, and € 41,900 in
France. They climb from there and higher-end variants offer 22-inch wheels,
power rear quarter “doggie” windows, and solar panels. Buyers can also upgrade
to get an ambient lighting system, heated front / rear seats, and more advanced
driver assistance systems such as traffic jam assist, lane centering, and
automatic parking technology. Full details will be released closer to launch,
but Fisker is currently accepting reservations.
