Foxconn EV crossover plans now look more serious with the debut of the Foxtron Cavira, a mid-size electric SUV aimed directly at the Tesla Model Y. As InsideEVs reports, the Cavira is not just a concept-style announcement; Foxtron has shared real hardware details around its battery, motors, charging, cabin, and safety systems.
The Cavira is a five-seat crossover built on a dedicated EV platform. Dimensionally, it is larger than the Model Y in some key areas: the wheelbase is 114.9 inches, about 1.1 inches longer than Tesla’s rival, while overall length is listed at 195.4 inches. That longer footprint should help Foxtron pitch the car as a roomy family EV rather than only a tech-company side project.
Foxconn EV crossover specs look competitive
Both versions use an 82.7 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack. LFP chemistry usually prioritizes durability and cost control over maximum energy density, which fits a mainstream crossover strategy. Foxtron says the pack can DC fast charge at up to 175 kW, with a 10 to 80 percent charge taking less than 30 minutes.
The entry Emerge Long-Range Edition uses a single rear motor rated at 249 hp and carries a claimed 359-mile range on the WLTC cycle. That figure should be treated carefully because WLTC numbers are often more generous than EPA estimates. The higher Pioneer version adds a dual-motor setup with 468 hp, enough for a claimed 0 to 62 mph time of 3.8 seconds.
Inside, the Cavira gets a 15.6-inch portrait-oriented central touchscreen, a digital instrument cluster, and a row of physical buttons below the main display. Foxtron is also including over-the-air software update support, which is now essential for any EV trying to compete with Tesla.
The driver-assistance package includes a driver monitoring system, blind spot detection, a 360-degree camera, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, lane following control, and traffic jam assist. There is also vehicle-to-load support rated at up to 1,900 watts, allowing the high-voltage battery to power tools or appliances.
Pricing is expected to start around $40,000 in Taiwan. The real test will be whether Foxtron can turn these specs into production quality, software polish, and global availability.
