Foxconn is readying its entry in the electric pickup segment with the Model V. The EV appeared in a short but revealing video teaser prior to its debut on October 18.
Unlike other Foxconn vehicles such as the Model E and the soon-to-be-unveiled Model B that were designed by Pininfarina, the Model V pickup was penned by the Taiwanese company’s own design studio. This explains why some of its features are not exactly in-line with the styling language of the aforementioned models.

From the side view of the Model V, we can tell that this is a compact dual-cab pickup, similar in size to the Ford Ranger, or even smaller. The front end is characterized by L-shaped LEDs with Peugeot-like fangs on the bumper. The double “H” lighting signature could be a reference to the Hon Hai Technology Group which is Foxconn’s parent company.
The grille is covered and likely integrates the ADAS sensors, while the front bumper has a modern pattern on the body-colored parts. Other styling cues we can see are the flush door handles, the hidden panel gaps of the rear doors, the F-150-style taillights which appear to be extended on the tailgate, and the generous ground clearance. Overall though, the Foxconn Model V doesn’t look as rugged as some of its competitors. We also get a peek inside, with a retracting cylindrical gear selector positioned on the glossy-black center tunnel.
The electric pickup will be unveiled at the Hon Hai Tech Day 2022, alongside the smaller Model B EV. There, we will learn more about its specifications.
