Background
The Revero predecessor was introduced by Fisker Automotive as the Karma in 2012. It was the only model produced by Fisker before it went out of business in 2013. The tooling for the Fisker Karma was bought by Wanxiang in 2014. The tooling was moved from the factory in Finland to a new factory in Moreno Valley, California, USA. A total of 2,667 Fisker Karma were built before production was stopped. Karma's current headquarters reside in Irvine, California.
History
The Fisker Karma was redesigned by Karma Automotive and reintroduced as the Karma Revero. The 2017 Revero was launched on September 8, 2016, at Laguna Beach. The exterior of the Karma Revero closely resembles the Fisker Karma, keeping the design produced by Henrik Fisker. The Karma Revero car also won 2018's Green Luxury Car of the Year award from Green Car Journal. In 2018, Karma announced a limited production high-end package, the Karma Revero Aliso, named after the California beach, that adds $15,000 to the price of the car, resulting in a $145,000 starting price car, with a limited run of 15 units. In 2019, an updated version, the Karma Revero GT, was revealed, using a three-cylinder 1.5 liter BMW engine as a range extender instead of the older model's drive motor GM engine. The new engine configuration launched in 2020, and it used to use the same B38 engine found in the BMW i8. Included in the changes is a larger battery.
Revero GT/GS-6
In 2021, Karma changed the name of the Revero GT to GS-6 (the name "Revero" would return for the 2025 model year). The 2020 Revero GT (and the renamed GS-6) is a refreshed and cheaper version of the Karma Revero plug-in hybrid (or a range-extended vehicle), with its base price in the US$90k+ range. In addition to swapping the GM engine for the BMW i8's, the battery capacity was increased from 21.4kWh to 28kWh as well as a revised front and rear facia with some minor changes to the interior. According to the manufacturer, the all-electric range is "up to" 80 mi (130 km), after which the vehicle smoothly switches to gasoline power. The vehicle was revised a third time for the 2026 model year and renamed the Gyesera.
