Fisker Ocean: which version to buy

The Fisker Ocean is a one-generation SUV 5-doors, on sale from 2021-11-01 with no stop date in this catalogue. All three catalogue versions share the same name AT and the same drivetrain labels: Electro fuel, Electro engine type, Automatic gearbox, FWD.

The Fisker Ocean is a one-generation SUV 5-doors, on sale from 2021-11-01 with no stop date in this catalogue. All three catalogue versions share the same name AT and the same drivetrain labels: Electro fuel, Electro engine type, Automatic gearbox, FWD. The buying choice is therefore not “which gearbox” or “which drive.” It is which of the three AT power outputs to pay for: AT 279 hp (205 kW), AT 547 hp (402 kW), or AT 558 hp (410 kW). Displacement, torque, kerb weight, and price are not measured here, so this comparison uses only the numbers that exist: horsepower, kilowatts, and 0–100 times.

Which Ocean version to choose

If the brief is “the cheapest way into the model,” the data point to AT 279 hp. It is the only Ocean that is not roughly twice the power of the entry car. Against AT 558 hp it is exactly half in kilowatts (205 kW vs 410 kW) and half in horsepower (279 hp vs 558 hp). Its 0–100 time is 7.4 s, which is 3.2 s slower than AT 547 hp (4.2 s) and 3.5 s slower than AT 558 hp (3.9 s). Nothing in this dataset shows extra mass, extra consumption, or extra tank size for the stronger cars, because those fields are not measured. What the extra power buys, on paper, is only a shorter 0–100 figure and a higher hp/kW label.

If the brief is “the fastest Ocean in this catalogue,” buy AT 558 hp (410 kW). It is 11 hp and 8 kW above AT 547 hp, and 279 hp and 205 kW above AT 279 hp. The 0–100 gap versus the middle AT is 0.3 s (4.2 s vs 3.9 s). Versus the entry AT it is 3.5 s. That 0.3 s is the entire measured product of the last 11 hp. If 0.3 s does not change the use case, AT 547 hp already delivers 547 / 279 ≈ 1.96 times the horsepower of the entry car and cuts 3.2 s from 7.4 s.

If the brief is “the large step without the last increment,” AT 547 hp (402 kW) is the arithmetic middle that is not a midpoint. From 279 hp to 547 hp is +268 hp (+197 kW). From 547 hp to 558 hp is only +11 hp (+8 kW). The 0–100 change follows the same shape: −3.2 s on the first step, −0.3 s on the second. On these numbers, most of the performance the catalogue can show is already in AT 547 hp. AT 558 hp is a small extra slice of the same Automatic FWD Electro package.

There is no generation-to-generation choice. The Ocean has 1 generation (`1 generation`, start 2021-11-01, stop not measured). All three AT versions start on the same date. You are not choosing a restyle or a later body. You are choosing among three power ratings of one SUV 5-doors.

What this catalogue cannot use as a buying filter: displacement (not measured on all three, so power per litre is not measured), torque Nm (not measured), cylinder count and layout (not measured — do not invent them), boost (not measured), gear count (not measured), kerb and gross weight (not measured, so kg per hp is not measured), ground clearance (not measured), tank (not measured), wheels (not measured), city/highway/combined consumption (not measured), CO2 and eco class (not measured), top speed (not measured). Extra money, if any, is not in the data. The comparison below stays inside the measured fields.

Generations and how the versions sit

1 generation (2021-11-01–present in this file): SUV 5-doors, 3 modifications, all named AT, all Automatic, all FWD, all Electro. No second generation exists to compare ride, weight, or body. Chassis labels are identical across the three AT cars: front Independent, spring; rear Independent, spring; front Ventilated disc; rear Disc ventilated. Suspension and brakes therefore do not separate the versions. Only hp, kW, and 0–100 do.

Engines and specs

All three rows are AT. Distinguish them by power, as the names collide.

AT (547 hp)547402not measurednot measuredElectronot measurednot measurednot measuredAutomaticFWD
AT (558 hp)558410not measurednot measuredElectronot measurednot measurednot measuredAutomaticFWD

Engine type on every AT is Electro. Fuel is Electro. Gearbox is Automatic; number of gears is not measured. Drive is FWD on all three — there is no AWD Ocean in this file, so a buyer who wants FWD is not choosing among drives. Power per litre cannot be computed: displacement is not measured, so 279 / litres, 547 / litres, and 558 / litres are all not measured.

Relative power (allowed arithmetic): AT 558 hp / AT 279 hp = 2.00. AT 547 hp / AT 279 hp ≈ 1.96. AT 558 hp / AT 547 hp ≈ 1.02. In kW the same ratios hold: 410 / 205 = 2.00; 402 / 205 ≈ 1.96; 410 / 402 ≈ 1.02. The catalogue’s top AT is a doubling of the entry AT in both hp and kW. The middle AT is 11 hp (8 kW) short of that doubling.

Seconds saved per extra horsepower, using only these figures: from AT 279 hp to AT 547 hp, 3.2 s for 268 hp ≈ 0.0119 s per hp. From AT 547 hp to AT 558 hp, 0.3 s for 11 hp ≈ 0.0273 s per hp. The last 11 hp look “more expensive” in seconds per hp because the 0–100 drop is tiny. From AT 279 hp to AT 558 hp, 3.5 s for 279 hp ≈ 0.0125 s per hp.

Top speed is not measured on any AT, so a speed-limited motorway case cannot be ranked. Consumption and mpg are not measured; Electro fuel does not get a litres/100 km or mpg number in this dataset. CO2 is not measured. A buyer who ranks versions by economy has no figure here — do not treat silence as “no consumption.”

Dimensions, weight, clearance, tank, wheels

Kerb weight: not measured (all three AT). Gross weight: not measured (all three AT). Ground clearance: not measured (all three AT). Tank: not measured (all three AT). Wheels: not measured (all three AT).

Weight per horsepower is therefore not measured. You cannot say the 558 hp AT is “lighter per hp” or “heavier” than the 279 hp AT. Ground clearance cannot separate a family SUV use case from another. Wheel size cannot separate ride or tyre cost. Tank size is not a range proxy here. On packaging, the three AT versions are indistinguishable in this catalogue; only the power/0–100 table changes.

Problems, reliability, and what the numbers do not settle

This file has no reliability, recall, or problem counts. Those searches cannot be answered from the launch data. What can be answered: there is no gearbox split (all Automatic), no drive split (all FWD), no body split (all SUV 5-doors), no generation split (one generation from 2021-11-01). Chassis wording is the same Independent, spring / Independent, spring and Ventilated disc / Disc ventilated on every AT. A “which Ocean has the better axle” question has no numeric answer here.

Buying map in one pass

All three remain AT in name. Cite them as AT 279 hp, AT 547 hp, and AT 558 hp so the identical `mod_name` does not collapse into one link. No price, no second generation, and no unlisted engine layout belong in that decision.
