Fisker Karma Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2009–2012) — First Generation
The first-generation Fisker Karma puts plug-in hybrid technology in a distinctive sedan. If you’re considering one for daily use, regular access to charging helps you get more electric driving and use less petrol.
In the 2.0 CVT version, the Fisker Karma engine generates electricity, while electric motors drive the rear wheels. The petrol engine therefore does not propel the car through a conventional gearbox. You get smooth acceleration without the familiar sequence of gear changes.
