Fisker Pear Could Sell For As Little As $22,000, Hi-Po Extreme Model Announced

Fisker has released additional information, images, and indicative entry-level pricing for the highly-anticipated Pear. It also confirmed that a high-performance Pear Extreme is coming. Details of Fisker's entry-level crossover have been released in bits and pieces, and this is by far the most information the American company has shared so far.

The good news is that the entry-level Pear will be priced at $29,900 before incentives. It will be built in the USA in collaboration with Foxconn at a factory in Ohio. It's unclear if the Pear will receive the full $7,500 tax credit as it relies entirely on where the battery is made and where the raw materials are sourced from. If Fisker complies with the government's regulations, you're looking at an entry-level price of $22,400.

This low MSRP is likely made possible by Fisker's engineering and design departments working on reducing the parts count by 35%. That massive saving for Fisker is being carried over to the consumer.

"With Pear, we threw convention out the window," said Chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker. "We created this vehicle with the idea that young people living in the world's big cities need innovative, versatile, and affordable mobility."

Two battery options will be available, and the Pear will be available in rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive. The lightest and most sustainable version has an estimated range of 180 miles, while the long-range should be able to cover 320 miles. Fisker is also adopting the Tesla charging standard, so its customers will have access to the Supercharger network.

The projected 0-60 mph time for the base model is 6.3 seconds, but Fisker has now stated that a high-performance model, called the Pear Extreme, will also be part of the range. We're guessing dual-motor AWD with a long-range battery and a 0-60 mph time in half the time mentioned for the base model.

Fisker hopes to appeal to the younger generation by including several unique features. Instead of a frunk, the Pear has a "froot." This is Gen-Z speak for a drawer-like front boot (trunk in American). Fisker says it's perfect for pizza or sweaty workout gear. Owners will have the option to order an insulated froot for keeping said pizza and clothes warm. Since younger generations are less obsessed with outright ownership, Fisker made the interior more durable and with fewer moving parts. This not only makes it perfect for people with destructive kids but also for car-sharing.

It will also have a Lounge Mode, and a six-seat option can be ordered. If you go for the six-seater, Fisker will replace the front passenger seat and center console with a bench. In Lounge Mode, you can fold all the seats flat to create a large area from where you can see the 17.1-inch rotating screen. Young people are going to love this feature. They'll be Netflixing and chilling like rabbits in Fisker's lounge.

Fisker has already started establishing a reputation for excellent customer service, and takes it to the next level with its new in-house designed High-Performance Computer, the Fisker Blade. The Blade will offer a new, connected digital customer experience.

"Built to be fast, energy-efficient, safe, and cybersecure, the Blade is packaged in a slim, modular, and fully upgradable unit," says Fisker. Basically, Fisker is futureproofing the Pear in an era where cars are becoming more reliable on software. If the car's computer one day becomes too old for new updates, you can swap it out instead of going out and buying an entirely new vehicle.

This kind of out-of-the-box thinking seems to be resonating with customers, which bodes well for the recently unveiled Alaska pickup truck and Ronin Super-GT.
