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.
