Fresh details of the incoming 2025 Fisker PEAR have been released including official confirmation that the Californian EV start-up’s most affordable model will come with a high-performance Extreme version.
Announcing that global deliveries of the Fisker PEAR would commence in July 2025 with prices kicking off from $US29,000 ($A44,700) before federal and local government subsidies, the all-new small SUV is said to offer seating for five or six and offer a WLTP-verified range from 320-560km.
The most expensive versions will come equipped with a solar roof that will top-up the battery to boost the range further.
Confirming it will make its European debut at next week’s Munich motor show, Fisker says the PEAR measures in at 4550mm long and that even the standard model will be capable of launching from 0-100km/h in 6.3 seconds.
There’s no word yet on how quick the PEAR Extreme will be as it targets fast EVs like the MG4 XPOWER that can sprint from 0-100km/h in just 3.7 seconds.
Entry-level models will come with rear-wheel drive and offer a range of around 320km, suggesting a smaller battery pack compared to higher-series variants.
To be built in Ohio in the US, the PEAR is said to be based on an innovative steel platform that uses 35 per cent fewer parts. The same simple approach has been used with the ‘Blade’ electrical architecture that uses less ECUs.
The system links with a high-speed 5G network to enable the PEAR to use cloud connected services.
Inside, the minimal approach to save costs continues; there’s no glove box or centre console, while a simple design and wide infotainment screen dominate.
A huge 17.1-inch display will be optional.
To accommodate six, the PEAR will be available with a front bench seat that will seat three.
Other clever design touches include the ‘Houdini’ boot which sees the tailgate fold away into the rear bumper, aiding loading in tight spaces.
A new frunk has also been added that gets a drawer-like cargo space that can keep food hot or cold.
Right-hand drive production is expected to kick off in 2026, suggesting Australian sales might still be three years away.
