THE 2023 FISKER OCEAN IS THE QUIRKIEST, NEWEST ELECTRIC SUV

EV Channels Review

Doug DeMuro reviews the 2023 Fisker Ocean One, highlighting its numerous quirks and unique features. He praises the car's attractive design, the surprisingly spacious interior, and innovative elements like the "California Mode" that opens all windows and the sunroof simultaneously, and the rotating infotainment screen. The dual-motor, 565-horsepower powertrain delivers impressive acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds. However, DeMuro notes some drawbacks, including a less intuitive driver-assist system, a slightly laggy infotainment response compared to rivals, and a cargo area that feels smaller than expected. He also mentions a minor issue with the rear window opening intermittently on his early production model. While acknowledging the car's compelling features and competitive pricing, DeMuro emphasizes that its long-term success hinges on Fisker's ability to ensure reliability and ease of ownership, especially given the competitive landscape of electric SUVs.
