From the February/March 2022 issue of Car and Driver. Henrik Fisker's most iconic designs were chic BMWs and Aston Martins, and the Fisker Karma was a sporty sedan. So it may seem like a leap to go from high-end toys to the Fisker Ocean, a forthcoming affordable electric SUV, but he says it's a smart choice. "The world's most sold segment is SUVs. I've already designed a lot of luxury cars. I don't have to prove that we can design a sports car. Other companies [making EVs], they're making $100,000 vehicles. That segment will look crowded." The Austrian manufacturer Magna Steyr is building the Ocean in front- and all-wheel-drive configurations. The base Ocean uses a 275-hp motor and offers a range of around 250 miles; all-wheel-drive Ultra and Extreme trims have two motors good for a combined 540 and 550 horsepower, respectively. Prices will start under $40,000.
