Fisker’s Houdini trunk is another example of a weird car design.
The Pear is Fisker’s sub-$30,000 electric crossover SUV aimed at young city dwellers. But the gimmicks really help sell it.transportation editor with 10+ years of experience who covers EVs, public transportation, and aviation. His work has appeared in The New York Daily News and City & State.Fisker released new images of its optimistically priced Pear electric crossover, including footage of its so-called “Houdini trunk” in action.
Henrik Fisker has been talking about the Houdini trunk for a while now, but this is my first time seeing it in action. With the touch of a button, the rear window rolls down into the hatch — and then theI’ve watched this video a couple of times now, and without seeing it in real life, it’s hard to say how exactly this feat is achieved.
Fisker said it designed the trunk for maximum flexibility with young urban dwellers in mind. When you’re parallel parking on a crowded city street, for example, you don’t want to worry about the trunk swinging open into someone else’s bumper — or cracking you in the head, for that matter. The Houdini door isn’t the Pear’s only gimmick. There’s also a drawer-like front boot, or “froot.” Fisker says the froot is perfect for storing anything from delivery pizza to sweaty workout gear, thereby keeping odors out of the cabin. And the front row of seats eschews a center console in favor of a bench seat to add an extra passenger, thus making the Pear a rare six-seater compact SUV.
