CES 2021: EV and last-mile technology race to the front of the next-gen normal

CES 2021 was forced online this year but the auto-tech on show largely ignored the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic

Electric SUVs take a step forwards

Fisker Inc. – designer and manufacturer of the world’s most eco-friendly electric vehicles and advanced mobility solutions – revealed new dimension figures and images on the heels of the all-electric luxury SUV’s grand global debut at last year’s CES.

“As the world’s first all-digital car company – aimed at shifting the paradigm on how a customer selects, test drives, services and experiences a vehicle – we’re humbled and delighted at the overwhelmingly positive response to the Fisker Ocean, our disruptive mobile app-based brand experience, our smarter business model approach and the emotionally-compelling design of the vehicle itself. The Ocean’s debut at CES created real excitement in every corner of the globe, reflected by some of the top show honors presented to Fisker – including those from TIME Magazine, Business Insider, Mashable and many more prominent entities.”

“We are now excited to reveal some of the vehicle’s dimensions and additional features. In addition, we look forward to sharing more developments on the Fisker Ocean with the world soon, including the first public footage of the full production-intent prototype’s road tests – showcasing the durability and readiness of the vehicle’s fully-engineered platform.”

The Fisker Ocean experience is characterised by a ‘sense of freedom, fun and luxury’ – complemented by off-road capability and superior utility, says the firm.

At 4,640 millimeters (182.7 inches) in length, 1,930 millimeters (76 inches) in width and 1,615 millimeters (63.6 inches) in height, the all-electric luxury SUV offers a spacious environment for both front and rear passengers. With thoughtful design touches, new spaces are created for five adults to sit comfortably – even during the longest of rides.

With 566 liters (20 cubic feet) of trunk space, the vehicle presents practicality and utility. The space increases to 708 liters (25 cubic feet) with the parcel shelf removed, expanding to 1,274 liters (45 cubic feet) with the rear seats folded. The Fisker Ocean will come with roof rails and towing hook options. Towing capacity will be released in 2021.

The Fisker Ocean will be offered in a four-wheel drive configuration on all trims except for the base model – reflecting the vehicle’s off-road capabilities. The standard four-wheel drive configuration will deliver an output of more than 225 kilowatts (more than 300 horsepower), with an ultra-high performance version targeting zero-to-60 mph in less than three seconds (total power output to be announced later this year).

A state-of-the-art heads-up display integrated into the windshield will be complemented by a large 16-inch center touch screen and a 9.8-inch cluster screen. From augmented reality features to haptic touch buttons and immersive digital experiences, the vehicle offers impressive visuals all around.
