Fisker PEAR comes earlier than expected

Two days ago, the owner of the American company Fisker, Henrik Fisker, announced on his Instagram profile the arrival of the new PEAR prototype. Thus, the inexpensive car will be presented earlier than expected.

“Foxconn being the world’s largest manufacturer, if there’s anyone who can truly go in and take a look and be innovative (in auto manufacturing) it’s probably them,” said Fisker Chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker.

After the Fisker Ocean model, which should arrive on the market soon, the company announces the arrival of a compact crossover. As expected, the resemblance to the bigger and older sibling is obvious, and the previous teaser has already been unveiled as this model will be more similar to the classic compact.

For now, there is not much information about this model, and the company announced that it is a revolutionary car. Obviously, this applies primarily to design, as it is known that Fisker PEAR will only be offered as EV.

Production will begin in late 2023, and should hit the market in 2024. According to the company, this inexpensive EV will cost around 29,900 USD. 250,000 units will be produced for North America, Europe and the Chinese market.

Mercedes-Benz EQA more spacious and luxurious

German company Mercedes-Benz plans to develop a platform for small electric cars by 2025, which would provide a direct replacement for the hatchback A-Class and other electric vehicles in that class, and their currently smallest model Mercedes-Benz EQA crossover is electric a version of the GLA model with which it shares a platform.

It is one of four electric cars alongside the existing EQB, EQC and EQV, which uses a modified version of the existing platform designed for internal combustion engines. In this way, Mercedes will be competitive primarily with the Volkswagen ID.3 model, both in terms of passenger space and range with a single battery charge. The battery will be slightly smaller compared to other models, but it will still provide a range of quite a decent 425 km (264 miles). All thanks to a greater focus on weight reduction as well as improvements in aerodynamics.

Due to the absence of a central ridge and a thin battery, the new EQA will provide passengers with a more spacious and airy, but also more luxurious interior compared to entry-level models. Also, the car will be closer to the ground and thus avoid the crossover feature.

Tata Avinya

The new concept of the Indian company Tata Motors, Avinya, with an extremely short suspension points to the “electric” ambitions of this company. The name comes from the Sanskrit language and means “innovation” and is really appropriate because the car hints at novelties that arrive a little later in this decade.

The shape of the Avinya is more of a minivan than a crossover. Thin headlights illustrate Dad’s logo, and instead of standard side mirrors there are cameras. The straight line of the roof points to a spacious interior that provides plenty of legroom thanks to the extended wheelbase as the wheels are moved to the corners of the vehicle. Unlike most vehicles, the Avinya does not have a central screen. The screen is located on the steering wheel.

The car is equipped with large rims reminiscent of those from the Volkswagen ID.3 model. It also looks reminiscent of Audi’s E-Tron concepts and production models. The company did not release many details, but revealed that it will have a battery that will charge in less than 30 minutes and provide a range of at least 500 kilometers.

The first production car should arrive by 2025, and will be based on Tata’s new GEN 3 platform for electric cars.
