The name “Pear” is an acronym for “Personal Electric Automotive Revolution,” as stated by CEO Henrik Fisker.

The Pear boasts a range of clever features, including the ability to seat six passengers with a variant featuring a front bench seat. It also includes a “Houdini Trunk,” a retractable lift gate that facilitates easy loading and unloading in tight spaces. Additionally, the vehicle has a front trunk or “Froot,” adding a playful touch to its features.

Designed by Henrik Fisker, the Pear exhibits his signature flourishes despite its appealing starting price of $29,900 before federal tax incentives. It comes equipped with a wraparound windshield, sculptural exterior design, and futuristic LED lighting, making it an attractive option in the sub-$30,000 price range.
