Unrivaled Range and Competitive Pricing
The recently unveiled entry-level ‘Sport’ variant of the Fisker Ocean electric SUV has shattered expectations by surpassing its projected range, boasting an official WLTP range of 288 miles.
This accomplishment positions the Fisker ahead of its electric SUV counterparts, including the base Tesla Model Y, with a remarkable five-mile advantage.
What’s more, the Fisker Ocean Sport comes with an enticing starting price of £36,900, undercutting the Tesla Model Y by over £8,000.
Competitive Comparisons in the Electric Family Car Segment
The Fisker Ocean Sport isn’t just challenging Tesla; it outshines the basic Hyundai Ioniq 5 as well. Priced nearly £7,000 lower and offering a range that surpasses the Hyundai by 50 miles, the Fisker presents an appealing option in the electric family car market.
Even the BYD Atto 3 from China, while coming close in price, falls short of matching the Fisker’s impressive range.
Feature-Rich Entry-Level Model
Equipped with a host of standard features, the base Fisker Ocean Sport ensures a luxurious driving experience. Notable inclusions are 20-inch ‘AeroStealth’ wheels, a sleek 9.8-inch digital driver’s display, a 17.1-inch portrait central touchscreen, a glass roof, a powered tailgate, and eco-friendly upholstery made from recycled plastic bottles. The comprehensive safety suite, FI-Pilot, encompasses essential systems like blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist, driver drowsiness warning, and automatic emergency braking.
Performance Dynamics and Drive Modes
Powered by a single 271bhp electric motor driving the front wheels, the Fisker Ocean Sport accelerates from 0-62mph in a swift 7.4 seconds.
Drivers can choose between ‘Earth’ or ‘Fun’ drive modes, with an additional ‘Hyper’ mode for sharper throttle response.
An optional Performance Package unlocks the ‘Boost’ mode, maximizing acceleration from a standstill.
Ordering Information and Future Expectations
Enthusiasts can already place orders for the Fisker Ocean Sport, with the first deliveries anticipated in 2024. This model is part of the broader Fisker Ocean lineup, alongside the ‘Ultra’ and ‘Extreme’ variants. Both the ‘Ultra’ and ‘Extreme’ feature a robust 113kWh battery, powering a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setup.
The range-topping Ocean Extreme, with its 440-mile range and 0-62mph acceleration in 3.9 seconds, claims the title of the longest-range electric SUV available in Europe.
