The Taiwanese assembly experts at Foxconn have taken the wraps off the Cavira, a new Tesla Model Y competitor that offers a 468 hp AWD powertrain, sub-four-second 0-60 mph performance, and up to 359 miles of range.
If it feels like we’ve been writing about Foxconn’s plans to launch an electric car brand of their own for years, that’s because we have. Along the way, the company has been linked to startups like Fisker, Lordstown, and even Apple as a credibility-enhancing partner to help fuel those brands’ once global automotive ambitions.
Now, however, Foxconn is building cars under its own “Foxtron” brand (one the company’s numerous JVs, along with Taiwan’s Yulon Motor), and its first mainstream crossover is every bit as credible as you’d expect.
Looks pretty good
A surface-level glance at the Foxtron Cavira (or, pictures of it, anyway) reveals a conventionally styled midsize crossover that maintains the Foxtron family look established by the compact Bria rolled out last year.
Inside, the Cavira ticks all the standard “I’m an EV!” styling boxes, including minimal buttons, a digital instrument cluster behind the steering wheel, and a giant 15.4″ center touchscreen that give off enough of a smartphone or tablet vibe to remind you that Foxconn made its money in the consumer electronics space.
Dimensionally, the Cavira is 195.4″ (4,695 mm) long and rides on a 114.9″ (2,920 mm) wheelbase, making it slightly longer than a Ford Mustang Mach-E or Chevy Blazer EV.
The Cavira will be offered in two trims – the Emerge Long-Range Edition with a single, rear-mounted, 186 kW (~249 hp) electric motor with up to 359 miles, and the Pioneer Long-Range Performance Edition with two electric motors making 349 kW (~468 hp). Range for the two-motor variant drops range to “just” 538 km, but rockets you and your friends from 0 to 60…
