The Fisker Pear will be a small and affordable EV with quirky features and an estimated range of up to 320 miles. Pricing starts at $29,900.
The Fisker Pear is the smallest and most affordable vehicle in the EV brand’s new lineup. The Pear isn’t officially named after the similarly-shaped fruit; it’s an acronym for “Personal Electric Automotive Revolution.” Fisker calls the Pear an “urban lifestyle vehicle” and a “mobility device,” but we’ll keep things simple and call it an electric subcompact SUV. Essentially a miniature version of the bigger and pricier Fisker Ocean, the Pear has a unique design, innovative features, and impressive range estimates. With a promised sub-$30K starting price, the Fisker Pear might compete with a range of affordable EVs including the Nissan Leaf, electric Mini Cooper, and the Volvo EX30.
The 2026 Fisker Pear starts at $29,900. That’s for the base model with 180 miles of range. Fisker has confirmed that RWD and AWD variants of the Pear will be available, and we assume the AWD models will have a dual-motor configuration. If the Pear has a trim structure similar to the Fisker Ocean, we can expect a dual-motor Ultra trim and a fully loaded Extreme model.
If the Fisker Pear indeed sticks to its starting price of around $30K, its closest rivals in compact EVs will be the electric Mini Cooper, the Volvo EX30 (both all-new for the 2025 model year), and the perennially affordable Nissan Leaf.
2026 Fisker Pear | MSRP |
Pear Sport | $29,900 |
Pear Ultra | $35,000 (est) |
Pear Extreme | $45,000 (est) |
These are manufacturer’s suggested retail prices (MSRP) and estimates, which don’t include a factory-to-dealer delivery fee (destination charge).
You can reserve a Fisker Pear now with a $250 deposit, and Fisker says deliveries will begin sometime in 2025.
The Fisker Pear will be available in rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and all-wheel-drive (AWD) configurations. The RWD Pear will likely have a single electric motor, and AWD models will probably have a dual-motor setup. Fisker says the Pear will achieve a 0-60 mph time of 6.3 seconds.
The Fisker Pear with the standard battery pack has an estimated range of 180 miles on a full charge. That’s similar to the estimated range of the 2025 Mini Cooper E. An optional bigger battery will give the Pear a 320-mile range, which would beat the 275-mile maximum estimated range of the 2025 Volvo EX30. If the Fisker Pear has DC fast charging capability similar to that of the Fisker Ocean, it will likely charge from 10% to 80% in around a half hour.
The Fisker Pear’s interior looks like a downsized, more budget-friendly version of the Fisker Ocean. It has a flat-bottom steering wheel and a colorful dash with an optional 17.1-inch infotainment screen that can rotate between horizontal and vertical orientations. The Fisker Pear seats five or six, offering a 3-person, bench-style front seat. There’s also a “lounge mode,” allowing all seats to fold flat.
The Fisker Pear has a boxy shape with some rounded edges. Its proportions remind us of the Kia Soul, blurring the line between hatchback and SUV. However you want to classify it, its small footprint should make it great for urban commuting and easy to park.
The Pear has some remarkably quirky exterior features. Its “Houdini trunk” slides the rear glass and body panel into the rear bumper. This makes the rear cargo area open up without a hatch swinging open. The Pear also has what Fisker calls a “froot,” which means “front boot.” Rather than a “frunk,” it has a drawer that slides out of the front of the car for extra storage. It also appears to have a solar roof option, giving the battery a trickle charge while parked outside.
The Fisker Pear will have two options for battery packs: a small battery with a 180-mile range and a big battery with a 320-mile range.
Given the small dimensions and presumably light weight of the Pear, it should use electrons pretty efficiently. We expect it to get over 100 combined MPGe when the EPA tests its efficiency.
Fisker has a competitive warranty that takes some of the risk out of buying a car from a startup automaker. Assuming the warranty will be the same as the Fisker Ocean, the Pear will have a 6-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty on the powertrain and battery.
We predict that the Fisker Pear will come with the Fisker Intelligent Pilot package, which bundles automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring.
Our Expert Ratings come from hours of both driving and number crunching to make sure that you choose the best car for you. We comprehensively experience and analyze every new SUV, car, truck, or minivan for sale in the U.S. and compare it to its competitors. When all that dust settles, we have our ratings.
We require new ratings every time an all-new vehicle or a new generation of an existing vehicle comes out. Additionally, we reassess those ratings when a new-generation vehicle receives a mid-cycle refresh — basically, sprucing up a car in the middle of its product cycle (typically, around the 2-3 years mark) with a minor facelift, often with updates to features and technology.
Rather than pulling random numbers out of the air or off some meaningless checklist, KBB’s editors rank a vehicle to where it belongs in its class. Before any car earns its KBB rating, it must prove itself to be better (or worse) than the other cars it’s competing against as it tries to get you to spend your money buying or leasing.
Our editors drive and live with a given vehicle. We ask all the right questions about the interior, the exterior, the engine and powertrain, the ride and handling, the features, the comfort, and of course, about the price. Does it serve the purpose for which it was built? (Whether that purpose is commuting efficiently to and from work in the city, keeping your family safe, making you feel like you’ve made it to the top — or that you’re on your way — or making you feel like you’ve finally found just the right partner for your lifestyle.)
We take each vehicle we test through the mundane — parking, lane-changing, backing up, cargo space and loading — as well as the essential — acceleration, braking, handling, interior quiet and comfort, build quality, materials quality, reliability.
