FNX Magokiler Posted November 24, 2023 Posted November 24, 2023 So you can see how slow the car development processes are, since Henrik Fisker presented the first model of his new Fisker brand, the Ocean, and this first contact that we made in the city of Los Angeles with that same car But since production, almost four years have passed. It's true, in the middle we had that black hole in our lives called Covid-19, and that surely delayed the plans of the famous former designer of Aston Martin and BMW, and also creator of the Fisker Karma (you can read the story here). But time is time, and the Ocean went on sale a few months ago in the United States and Europe, seeking to be a coherent but disruptive alternative in the electric car market. Why do we stop in a car that is difficult to even get close to Chile? Well, because it is currently the car with the longest approved autonomy anywhere in the world, with 707 kilometers in the WLTP cycle. More than Tesla, more than BYD, more than the Germans, the Koreans or any Chinese electric car. And that deserves a test. Fisker Ocean: features The Ocean is a 100% electric crossover designed by the genius of Henrik Fisker, and is manufactured in Austria at the Magna Steyr centers. Which, although it guarantees construction quality, has generated many logistical problems, to the point that The 42 thousand units estimated for 2024 (first full year of production), has been lowered to between 13,000 and 17,000 units. A bad forecast for a brand that intends to impact the sector with extremely attractive prices, with a starting ticket of 34 thousand euros in Europe and US$37,500 in the United States, and that escalates to 62 thousand euros or 69 thousand dollars for the variant Extreme, which is the one that promises 707 km of autonomy. They are lower prices than any non-Chinese brand. The Fisker Ocean is an electric SUV/Crossover that measures 4,775 mm long, 1,995 mm wide and has 2,921 mm between axles. It is similar to a Tesla Model Y and larger than Volvo XC40, Nissan Leaf, Hyundai Kona, Kia Niro, Geely Geometry C, MG Marvel R, to name some of those sold in Chile. Fisker's touch is in the aesthetic details, which make this model dazzle above so many others. It is a kind of raised hatchback with smooth surfaces, two-tone bodywork with a darkened sunroof, huge 22-inch wheels (Bridgestone 255/45 tires for all versions), rear side marker lights that function as markers, or rear headlights that They are just a few lines. The attractiveness is indisputable at first glance. I also love the so-called "California Mode," which with the push of a button lowers all the windows, including the decorative ones between the C and D pillars, and opens the roof and rear window, leaving the Ocean bare. https://noticias.autocosmos.cl/2023/11/23/fisker-ocean-una-de-las-tantas-revoluciones-electricas
