Karma Automotive has announced U.S. pricing for its first all-electric production model, the upcoming GSe-6 luxury sedan. Scheduled to reach customers in 2021, the Karma GSe-6 will have a starting MSRP of US$ 79,900, roughly half the price of the 2020 Revero GTS. Mind you, the price is before all applicable tax rebates and incentives; it also excludes taxes, fees and delivery charges. The Chinese-backed company has created a reservation site where prospective customers can pre-order the GSe-6 for a fully-refundable US$ 100 deposit.
Karma’s GSe-6 sedan retains the design of
the Revero GT and the full aluminum body but replaces the latter’s complicated
two-motor range-extender system with an all-electric powertrain. The model will
come standard with connected car capabilities, internet radio, haptic steering
wheel controls, surround view camera, 21-inch wheels, adaptive headlights, and
Level 2 autonomous driving.
One look at the reservation site reveals
that the GSe-6 will offer optional Sport and Luxury packages, with each
bringing exclusive exterior and interior appointments. More importantly, the
Karma GSe-6 will offer a driving range of up to 483 km and a “fast
enough” 0-96 km/h acceleration. Expect a short charging time for the
battery as Karma mentions a maximum charging speed of 110 kW.
