Fisker has started to expand its model range as it chases after Tesla’s crown. The American electric car maker has already launched the Ocean, which is set to arrive in the UK next year with a starting price of £32,490.
Now, the company has announced its plans for a new, entry-level electric car called the Pear (which is an acronym standing for “Personal electric Automotive Revolution”). production is scheduled to start in 2024, and the car is already available to buy in the United States. prices for the EV are set to start from $29,900 (around £22,000).
Exclusive: Fisker to develop two new electric cars in the UK
Specifications are still thin on the ground, but Fisker has said that the Pear will be a “digitally connected, compact, five-passenger urban EV.” Judging by that brief (and the rather aggressive price), it sounds like the brand is aiming for the same market as the Volkswagen ID.3, and undercutting the slightly a lot more premium Tesla model 3 and Polestar 2.

The car in Fisker’s teaser image looks like a compact crossover. even though it’s an overhead shot, we can tell the EV will adopt some styling cues from its larger sibling, sharing the same rounded front fascia, short bonnet, flared haunches and flat tail. The reflections at the rear of the car also suggest it’ll have similarly large rear lamps.
