A lot has been said about Fisker’s all-electric SUV,
yet we still do not know its official name. However, all that’s about to change
sometime this week, as the company will announce what their Tesla Model Y rival
will be called.
In a series of posts made on social media last
Thursday, Fisker said that along with revealing the name of the zero-emission
high-riding vehicle, they will also disclose when and where they will lift the
curtain for it.
Also, accompanying the announcement is a short
teaser video that previews the front quarter design of the car, revealing the
slim headlight with incorporated LED DRLs, another LED strip located further
down in the bumper, plastic cladding on the lower parts of the body and 7-spoke
alloy wheels. The vehicle has a grey paint finish to go with the black roof and
side mirror caps. The illuminated door handles seem to have a pop-out design of
some sort.
From a previous teaser, we know that Fisker’s
electric SUV has some kind of a “convertible” roof, operated at the push of a
button. Whether it’s a traditional sunroof that slides all the way back or
perhaps another system, one thing is certain: occupants will enjoy an open-top
view of the sky above.
The firepower will come from two electric motors,
mounted on the front and rear axles, and an 80 kWh battery pack which, when
fully charged, should allow the SUV to travel for around 483 km before needing any more juice. Pricing should start at under US$ 40,000.
