The Red Dot Design Award, first awarded in 1955, is one of the
most internationally sought-after seals of quality for good design.
An international jury of over 50 design experts evaluated the
all-electric Fisker Ocean against global competition on four key
design qualities: product function, aesthetics, ease of use, and
responsibility / sustainability. The jury awarded the Fisker Ocean
Best Electric Vehicle 2023.
"We are particularly proud to win knowing Red Dot judged us on
'the quality of responsibility: is the product sustainable or
durable?'" Chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker said. "We built our
company to make the world's most emotional and sustainable
vehicles. We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to move the
world toward cleaner and more sustainable mobility, and every
design choice Fisker makes supports that mission. "
He added, “I’ve always believed that great design can change
lives because it’s an emotional experience. We're honored our peers
in the design community recognized the Fisker Ocean. With this
vehicle, we strived to create a well-balanced, sculptural surface
that exudes a powerful road presence. Our goal for the Fisker Ocean
was for everything about it – exterior, interior, and technology
features -- to be simple, intuitive, and delightful."
The all-electric Fisker Ocean SUV marries a sleek, futuristic
exterior design with a modern, tech-driven in-car experience. The
exterior is defined by a sports car look, feel, and dynamic, with
elegant arcs, clean surfaces, and smooth highlights. Larger 22"
wheels ground the Ocean's balanced proportions. Slim, wrap-around
lighting integrates into body panels concealing ADAS sensors and
the world's first digital radar in a consumer vehicle. With one
button, California Mode simultaneously opens the SolarSky roof and
all windows for a convertible, California feel.
Built at a carbon-neutral facility in Graz, Austria, the
all-electric Fisker Ocean is made with materials carefully selected
to reduce environmental impact, including more than 50 kg of
recycled polymers, bio-based content, and other recycled materials.
While keeping the design language and form factor of an SUV, the
aerodynamic silhouette and low, wide stance add efficiency to the
Ocean's range, estimated at 350 miles (US)1. The Ocean's confirmed
WLTP range of 707 km/440 miles (UK) gives the Fisker Ocean the
longest range of any battery electric SUV sold in Europe 2. The
SolarSky integrates solar panels onto a panoramic glass power roof,
adding up to 1,500 miles of solar-powered range per year 3.
Henrik Fisker and the Fisker design team will accept the Red Dot
Award: Product Design 2023 for Electric Vehicle at the Red Dot Gala
on June 19, 2023, in Essen, Germany. The Fisker Ocean design will
be part of "Milestones in Contemporary Design," an exhibition of
Red Dot Award winners at the Red Dot Design Museum from June 2023
to May 2024. Fisker looks forward to commencing deliveries in the
beginning of May.
