New specifications of the 2022 Fisker Ocean revealed

Fisker Inc., creator of sustainable electric vehicles and advanced mobility solutions, revealed select design specifications of the Fisker Ocean all-electric luxury SUV.

Henrik Fisker, Chairman and CEO - Fisker Inc., said, “We are aiming to disrupt the automotive industry by challenging all conventions, development time, manufacturing scale-up, customer ownership experience, vehicle financing and service. This is no small feat, but we truly believe we are entering a new era where customers are driving the demand for radical change. People want mobility as a service, delivered through exciting, affordable vehicles with a hassle-free experience. We have delivered the Fisker Ocean in record time: not just another show vehicle, but a drivable production-intent prototype sitting on a fully engineered and durability tested platform, with a production-ready powertrain and battery pack. The future is about delivering product value, sustainability and a unique customer experience.”

The Fisker Ocean utilises a multi-link rear axle to simultaneously optimise both ride and handling. Unlike more simple suspension systems that sacrifice ride quality to achieve sportscar-like steering performance, the Fisker Ocean strikes a supreme balance with innovative engineering touches. The multi-link system further delivers a new level of space efficiency and class-leading interior trunk volume. In addition, the entire rear suspension is mounted on an isolated subframe - removing cabin noise and vibration. The result: superb interior comfort and refinement.

Unlike many electric vehicles, the Fisker Ocean leverages an advanced system where the amount of air directed to the cooling radiator is computer-regulated - resulting in maximised aerodynamic efficiency at any given point in time. The vehicle's battery also operates at the optimal temperature within the most aerodynamic body, producing the highest range possible from a single charge while ensuring that the battery life is maximised. Reflecting Fisker's confidence in the effectiveness of the system, the company is ensuring that battery life is covered as part of the FLEXEE ownership experience. The lower front of the Ocean is designed to showcase these strikingly efficient features with a large parametric pattern that opens up toward the lower front spoiler of the vehicle.

The Fisker Ocean features a unique, industry-leading structure that protects the battery pack in the event of a side impact. Extra reinforcements have also been added to the body structure to protect passengers and the overall vehicle in the event of an impact. Intelligent materials create an SUV with the lowest possible weight, while guaranteeing the highest levels of safety and the maximum possible range. The lower side section of the Fisker Ocean merges art and functionality - with the vehicle's sculpture wrapping around the protective side crash beams, where the lower body catches light.

The Fisker Ocean experience is characterised by a sense of freedom, fun and luxury - complemented by off-road capability and superior utility. The vehicle is nimble and easy to maneuver. Comfortable, yet sporty.

At 4,640 millimetres (182.7 inches) in length, 1,930 millimetres (76 inches) in width and 1,615 millimetres (63.6 inches) in height, the all-electric luxury SUV offers a spacious environment for both front and rear passengers. With thoughtful design touches, new spaces are created for five adults to sit comfortably - even during the longest of rides. The centre console offers extra space for a purse or other items below the console. Two inductive chargers for smartphones are placed right under the touch screen, which features five haptic buttons for fast, safe and intuitive responses while driving.

With 566 liters (20 cubic feet) of trunk space, the vehicle presents practicality and utility. The space increases to 708 litres (25 cubic feet) with the parcel shelf removed. The rear glass can be lowered independently to allow long items to be placed without having to open the hatch, while a rubber scuff plate, made of recycled tires, protects the loading edge. The Fisker Ocean will come with roof rails and towing hook options. Towing capacity will be released in 2021.

The base model will feature stylishly designed 20-inch wheels, with 22-inch wheel options for an even larger presence on and off the road. The 22-inch option is pictured. The Fisker Ocean will be offered in a four-wheel drive configuration on all trims except for the base model - reflecting the vehicle's off-road capabilities. The standard four-wheel drive configuration will deliver an output of more than 225 kilowatts (more than 300 horsepower), with an ultra-high-performance version targeting zero-to-60 mph in less than three seconds (total power output to be announced in 2021).

A state-of-the-art heads-up display integrated into the windshield will be complemented by a large 16-inch centre touch screen and a 9.8-inch cluster screen. From augmented reality features to haptic touch buttons and immersive digital experiences, the vehicle offers impressive visuals all around. Fisker is working on integrating a Karaoke mode that will display lyrics from your favourite song in the windshield without having to take your eyes of the road. The seats are designed for optimal comfort and space, the entire interior is vegan and all the carpets are made from recycled fishing nets and plastic bottles collected from the world's oceans.

The Fisker Ocean features a CCS Type 2 Combo plug with 150kW charging capability - enabling the vehicle to be charged through any stations that leverage technology in line with the latest in international standards.

Production is projected to begin in Q4 2021, with high-volume deliveries of the Fisker Ocean targeted to ramp up in 2022. Global and localised supply chains secured across the US, Europe and China will result in more than 1 million vehicles - including three models - projected to be produced between 2022 and 2027. Additional specifications will be released via Fisker's proprietary FLEXEE app in the coming months.
