On July 3, Canoo’s sport sedan was exposed by foreign netizens!
The sedan continues the distinctive three-line headlights and “rounded” styling of Canoo models, while the previously launched pickup truck is called the “Bean Pickup”.
From the exposed pictures, the Canoo sedan has a long wheelbase and extremely short front and rear overhangs, and the ground clearance is also low. The front picture shows that the steering wheel of the driver’s seat is square-ish in shape.
Canoo has four product lines. The first CANOO model was launched in 2019 and is scheduled to be delivered on a subscription basis in 2022. The second model was released in 2020 and is a multi-purpose delivery truck named MPDV. Follow-up development of a new variant is planned. It is expected to be launched in 2023. The third model, the “Bean Pickup,” was launched in March this year and is scheduled to start delivery in 2023. The sedan exposed this time belongs to Canoo’s fourth model and is scheduled to start delivery in 2025.
All of Canoo’s models are based on the “skateboard” platform. This highly modular platform supports steer-by-wire, dual-motor systems, a flat and spacious chassis, and has cost advantages in manufacturing.
Many people may not be familiar with Canoo, founded by Stefan Krause and Ulrich Kranz, who met while working at Faraday Future. They founded Evelozcity together in 2017 due to disagreements with the company’s leadership, which was officially renamed Canoo in March 2019.

Kranz was previously in charge of BMW’s Project i and is known as the “father of the i3 electric car”. A few days ago he was hired by Apple, which values Kranz’s expertise and experience in the field of electric vehicle platforms.
So, will we see the shadow of Canoo in Apple’s future car models?
