Inexpensive crossover Fisker Pear: six seats, a powerful computer and two trunks

U.S.-based Fisker, led by Danish designer and entrepreneur Henrik Fisker, has revealed new details about its most important upcoming product, the electric compact Pear crossover, the serial production of which should begin in July 2025 at the Foxconn plant in Lordstown (USA, Ohio).

The Pear crossover was spotted in early August at the Fisker Product Vision Day 2023 event along with three other new models from the company. After this «wholesale» display, each new product received a separate press release with photos and technical details. So, we have already become quite familiar with the 1000-horsepower Fisker Ronin coupe-convertible, the Fisker Alaska pickup truck and the off-road version of the Force E crossover Fisker Ocean, and now it's time to look into the Fisker Pear, its name stands for Personal Electric Automotive Revolution.

The Pear will be Fisker's most affordable and most mass-produced model, and with it the company wants to reach the level of sales of a million cars a year within a decade. Pear is designed mainly for young urban residents, which, however, does not prevent you from going on a small country trip with the whole family or with a group of friends. With an overall length of 4550 mm, the Fisker Pear is ready to take on board six people and a fairly large number of things, since in addition to the main trunk there is a front one called Froot.

The front trunk is isolated from the cabin, so it is convenient to transport strongly smelling food or clothes soaked in sweat after outdoor activities, in addition, for an additional fee, a thermoregulation system will be offered to keep hot food hot and cold drinks cold.

The main trunk door is named Houdini in honor of the legendary illusionist Harry Houdini, it does not open outward, but slides down behind the rear bumper — this way you can get/put things even in the tightest parking lot, but because of this original design, the luggage opening turned out to be small, and the lower edge of the trunk is quite high. The translucent roof of the Fisker Pear has built-in solar panels to recharge the battery.

The seating formula of the cabin is 3 + 3, that is, the front passenger seat is made double, but it will be possible to choose a more traditional 2 + 3 layout. The interior is unpretentious, but there are many niches and shelves for small things. The hard-wearing and rough-looking finish is made from recycled materials. All chairs can be folded down to form a double bed in the cabin. For an additional fee, an additional 17.1-inch rotating screen will be offered so that you can lie down and watch a movie. Pear also announced a powerful computer of its own production Fisker Blade with a performance of 6.2 teraflops, it will be responsible for entertainment and software personalization of the electric car.

There are no details about the Pear platform yet, it is only known that it is called SLV-1 and was developed specifically for this model, the main structural material is light steel. The number of parts that make up the Pear is about 35% less than other electric vehicles in this class, while many parts are unified — for example, the armrests in all doors are exactly the same. The relatively simple design and high production volumes should guarantee an affordable price: in the US, the Pear will cost from $29,900, and with federal subsidies, you can own a crossover for as little as $22,400.

More expensive and long-range versions will be able to drive 320-560 km on a single charge on the WLTP cycle, depending on the equipment. Twin-engine all-wheel drive versions are also on the horizon, including a sporty Extreme. Stock wheels are either 20- or 22-inch.
