2025 Fisker Pear

The Fisker Ocean has just started deliveries, so we're excited that the automaker has chosen this time to reveal more information about upcoming products. Alongside the Ronin and Alaska, we got a good glimpse of the Pear. While 'Pear' is ostensibly an acronym for 'Personal Electric Automotive Revolution,' it's the rather off-beat name of Fisker's compact all-electric SUV - or, as the brand puts it, a small sustainable city EV. There's a lot to talk about since the Pear is somewhat revolutionary, as the name would imply. Not only is it built on a new SLV-1 platform, but it's built using Fisker's Steel++ development process that results in the use of 35% fewer parts. This should be excellent in terms of maintenance and repair. Still, featuring cutting-edge tech, a futuristic design, some clever tricks for packaging and space, and a unique interior, it looks like a fantastic product. And that's before we tell you it has a sub-$30k starting price before taking tax credits into account.

We've not been given a hard-and-fast release date for the Fisker Pear, but the carmaker has said it will arrive in the middle of 2025.

There may not be much info available, but the starting price of the 2025 Fisker Pear has been made public. It will arrive in the USA in four trim levels, with a base cost of $29,900. It remains to be seen what the trim levels will add to that MSRP. As it stands, that makes the Pear the cheapest Fisker in the stable - and that's before federal incentives. Since it'll be built in the USA, the Pear will start at $22,400 when taking incentives into account.

Other electric crossovers in the same size category include the VW ID.4, which is around $10k more expensive, or the equally futuristic-looking Hyundai Ioniq 5 - this, too, is more expensive at a starting MSRP of over $41k, but it has the blistering Ioniq 5 N derivative that we'd love to see facing off with a high-performance Pear.

The first thing you notice about the exterior of the Fisker Pear is that it's very clearly an EV. Much like the current trend with electrified vehicles combining modern and futuristic for the aesthetic, Fisker's design elements come together rather nicely in the Pear. This includes an ultra-wide wraparound windscreen and ultra-slim LED lighting under the lip of the hood. The Pear wording is illuminated. Below this is a bold and rather aggressive blacked-out grille that sits low into the bumper.

We can also see the SolarSky roof that we know from the Fisker Ocean. This comprises photovoltaic solar panels integrated into the panoramic glass roof, which can also slide and offers UV protection. This may be standard higher up in the Pear range. Filling the arches of the Pear are wheels in a fresh design which will likely range in size from 20 inches to 22 inches. Along the side, the door handles are flush with the bodywork, and the Pear doesn't have traditional exterior mirrors. Instead, the Pear features smaller stalks that presumably use cameras to display the necessary blind spots.

Party tricks that the Pear will offer are a Houdini Trunk (a hideaway liftgate that slides out of the way to give you access to the cargo area) and a front storage compartment called the 'Froot' (for "front boot"). Fisker says the froot can be optionally insulated to keep things hot or cold.

If the Ocean SUV's paint palette is anything to go by, we can expect exterior colors for the Fisker Pear like Big Sur Blue, Great White, Night Drive, and Blue Planet, as well as some of the more adventurous hues, including Solar Orange, Red Planet, and Sea Grass. There is a lovely lime-green (and apt) seen in some pictures unique to the Pear, but whether it'll be available remains to be seen.

We haven't been given all the dimensions for the new Fisker Pear crossover, but we know it's approximately 179 inches in length and that it's a smaller vehicle than the Ocean with a 'compact body length'; that being said, it's supposed to house as many as six passengers.

This length puts it around ten inches smaller than the Chevrolet Equinox EV in length. We'll have to wait for the automaker to release specs pertaining to width, wheelbase, and height in the near future. From the reveal event, however, it's clear to see how low it sits to the ground.

The same applies to curb weight, although expecting a figure around 4,500 pounds as a start is not unreasonable.

Fisker has only given us snippets of information about what powertrain configurations to expect, and no concrete performance specs have been shared. We're told there will be two battery options, like in the Ocean, RWD and AWD configurations, and that the base model will manage the 0-60 mph sprint in 6.3 seconds. We've also been told to expect a high-performance Fisker Pear Extreme version.

The powertrains we expect in the Fisker Pear are likely to be similar to what the Ocean SUV has. The single-motor setup makes 275 horsepower, which will be enough to hit the projected early-six-second 0-60 mph sprint in the Pear, since it's smaller and lighter than the Ocean. The latter requires 6.9 seconds to get to 60 mph in this guise. The Ocean's AWD dual-motor model makes 540 hp, which may be toned down slightly for the smaller Pear.

Given that we know there will be four trims, it's likely that the trim levels will mirror the grading system in the Ocean: Sport, Ultra, Extreme, and possibly a unique launch edition. The higher-spec models in the Ocean range make between 540 and 564 hp, which aren't necessarily going to carry over, although we'd be excited at the prospect of a 500-something-hp Extreme edition.

In the Ocean lineup, there are various drive modes that can be selected, with Earth and Fun mode being the default. Hyper gets added higher up in the range.

Since the automaker is focused on letting its customers 'reinvent their relationships with mobility,' we doubt it's going to offer just the bare minimum - buyers can expect between 180 miles and 320 miles of range. With two battery options, the expectations for range and charging on the 2025 Fisker Pear could mirror that of the Ocean: That car comes with a range between 250 miles and 360 miles. Two battery options are offered on the Ocean, with the Touring Range battery on the Sport being the least efficient, and the Hyper Range battery offering the most electric range. The batteries are also fast-charging capable and come with a ten-year/100,000-mile warranty.

The 2025 Pear is unique inside in that it can be had as either a six-seater or a traditional five-seater. Seating for six is done by equipping two rows of bench seating; from what we can see in the reveal, the driver seemingly gets their own seat, and the two front passengers share a bench. While this immediately sounds incredibly cramped, the Pear seems to be relatively spacious, thanks to clever packaging. In the more traditional five-passenger layout, a large center console is added up front. The seating setup is exceptionally clever, too, with Lounge Mode allowing the front seats to be moved forward and folded down. The rear seats in the Fisker Pear also fold flat.

In the five-seat configuration, the large 17.1-inch rotating display from the Ocean can be added in, which creates a home-theater setup. The dashboard echoes an uncluttered, modern feeling and is largely devoid of buttons and controls in the footage. It sports numerous cubbies and spaces to hold things, as well as bands to hold things down. Each door gets an armrest, too. We're not sure about interior color schemes or materials for the Fisker Pear, but sustainability is probably the name of the game, and we like the exterior-color matching blue trim on the example at the reveal, pictured here.

While we haven't been given the standard features list or an idea of the size of the basic touchscreen display, it's likely to be jam-packed with tech, especially in upper trims. We know that Fisker's Blade supercomputer will power all the tech inside the Pear and allow all updates to occur over the air. Not only will the Pear get a multi-gigabit internal Ethernet network that connects all vehicle systems to the supercomputer for networking, but the 5G/Wi-Fi6 network allows you to use the Pear as a "cloud-connected mini data center".

There isn't any info on cargo space or official volumes for the Froot, but with the thoughtful design we've seen thus far, we'd be surprised if it was anything other than highly practical.
