FISKER OCEAN: THE CURE TO BORING OVERPRICED SUVS?

EV Channels Review

The Fisker Ocean SUV is presented as a compelling alternative to overpriced and uninspired electric SUVs. The reviewer highlights its outstanding design, fun gadgets like "California Mode" (which opens multiple windows and the sunroof), and impressive value for money, especially considering its sustainability focus. The "Extreme" trim, with its large 106 kWh battery, offers a remarkable WLTP range of 440 miles, though the reviewer questions the necessity of such a large battery for most users. The interior is praised for its rugged, functional design with large, easy-to-use buttons, though the optional rotating screen can be intrusive and the software is noted as laggy, lacking Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Driving dynamics are tuned for comfort, offering a smooth ride despite large wheels. Fisker's commitment to sustainability is a key selling point, with recycled materials and a transparent life cycle assessment showing a significantly lower carbon footprint than rivals. While build quality has minor creaks, it's considered impressive for a new brand. The reviewer concludes that the Ocean, particularly the entry-level Sport model, offers exceptional space, practicality, and style for its price point, potentially disrupting the market.
