New details on the 2022 Fisker Ocean EV SUV have surfaced, providing an outline of things to come in the burgeoning all-electric premium crossover segment – a segment where the upcoming Cadillac EV crossover aims to compete.
“We are aiming to disrupt the automotive industry by challenging all conventions, development time, manufacturing scale-up, customer ownership experience, vehicle financing and service,” said Fisker Inc. CEO Henrik Fisker.
The upcoming Fisker Ocean will offer seating for five, and will be 182.7 inches long, 76 inches wide, and 63.6 inches tall, making it roughly equivalent to the Cadillac XT4 in terms of exterior dimensions. Wheel sizing will range up to 22 inches in diameter.
Critically, the Fisker Ocean will be able to cover up to 300 miles between plugs, with active aerodynamics and cooling systems boosting range as needed. Four-wheel-drive will be standard across the range.
In back, the new EV crossover will have a multi-link rear suspension. The automaker also claims the Ocean will offer “off-road capability and superior utility,” including up to 25 cubic-feet in the trunk. There will also be tow hook options, with towing info planned for release in 2021. Standard output will crest the 300-horsepower mark, and there will also be a high-performance model capable of reaching 60 mph in less than three seconds.
Cabin tech will be extensive, including a head-up display on the windshield, 16-inch infotainment screen, and 9.8-inch gauge cluster. Further highlights will include augmented reality features, inductive phone charging, and haptic touchscreen response.
Some unique features will include Karaoke Mode, which will display song lyrics on the windshield, and a California Mode, which will lower all the windows, including the rear hatch glass.
The 2022 Fisker Ocean EV SUV will start at $37,499, which drops to $29,999 after the U.S. federal tax credit. Production is slated to kick off in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Meanwhile, the new Cadillac EV crossover is set to debut in April, with a launch date expected for the 2022 calendar year, as outlined in a previous post from our sister publication, Cadillac Society.

I’m noticing a design element that has been coming out recently, and it really needs to go. What is up with the pinched rear door window design? This is coming out on a lot of vehicles and not sure why. From a design point, I think you either love it or hate it. I hate it. From any other point, it’s a terrible design. The other day I (unfortunately) had to ride back to the dealership in the back of a Toyota CHR. It was horrible. No way to see out the back, feelings of claustrophobia, dark and just unpleasant. The back seat of the Mazda 3 hatch (not sedan, just hatch) is almost as bad. Look at the pics above on this concept: same up-swing pinched rear door window. And for some sedans, it may not affect the view out as bad, but it’s still a design theme.
Cadillac CT5
Honda Accord
Toyota CHR
Mazda 3 hatch
Volvo XC40
Nearly every Nissan……..just to name a few.
Some automakers pull it off better than others but ultimately it’s meant to evoke a sporty coupe-like design to vehicles that are obviously not sporty let alone coupes.
GM definitely has employed this styling technique on a number of vehicles across it’s whole portfolio. Buick and Chevy’s crossovers in particular.
does fisker have any manufacturing capabilities?
gm would be hard pressed to deliver such a vehicle for $38K and a small boutique manufacturer thinks it could do it? good luck.
Looks fantastic, except for the Vertical screen. These should always be horizontal.
Why is that news? Another company launching a pivotal product ahead of GM? It’s pretty common. Audi’s E-Tron is on sale now. The Mercedes EQC is currently in start-up production mode. BMW’s iNext Electric SAV is undergoing final testing in Africa and Antartica with production planned in Dingolfing. Cadillac has yet to do anything but release a sketch and say the are working on it.
I think it’s safe to say Fisker and all the German makes are going to beat Cadillac to the punch again.
GM should be ashamed of themselves!
The new Caddy EV will not be released for another 1.5 years????
They could have owned the EV marketplace. They were so far ahead with the Volt and Bolt. But the lack of really wanting or trying to lead in the EV marketplace is so obvious and sad……
A lot of talk and fancy screen displays of what is to come. But nothing new since 2017!
I guess my next EV will not be a GM product, as they have nothing new to sell.
