Faraday Future not dead, $30,000 FX 6 prototypes headed to US

• Faraday Future launched the FX sub-brand during 2025 CES
• FX initially aims for trio of minivans with a choice of electric or hybrid powertrains
• It says first model will be a luxury minivan called Super One

It’s been eight years since Faraday Future first unveiled its FF 91, and since then, only a handful of the high-priced electric crossovers have been delivered. However, Faraday hasn’t called it quits.

On Thursday, the startup automaker provided an update on the status of its new sub-brand FX (short for Faraday X). The update comes following the company using the backdrop of 2025 CES, which took place in January in Las Vegas, to announce its upcoming plans.

Those plans include the launch of FX-branded vehicles at much lower prices than the $309,000 FF 91. FX’s logo is meant to resemble the infinity symbol.

A prototype of FX’s first model, a luxury minivan called the Super One, was showcased at CES. Faraday also revealed that the Super One will be joined by additional models dubbed the FX 5 and FX 6. On Thursday, Faraday Future released photos of two FX 6 prototypes said to be in transit shipping to U.S. customs. The prototypes were said to be headed to Faraday Future’s headquarters in Los Angeles for testing. The next update on the FX 6 and Faraday Future’s FX plans will arrive in March, according to the autoamker.

The Super One will serve as the flagship of the range. While pricing for the Super One wasn’t disclosed, Faraday said the FX 5 will have a starting price between $20,000 and $30,000, while the FX 6 will be priced between $30,000 and $50,000.

Faraday stated it plans to launch the first FX model by the end of 2025, but did not specify which model would debut. The company did confirm, however, that both electric and range-extended powertrains will be offered.

Faraday describes the upcoming FX vehicles as being AI-enhanced, though it did not provide details on their capabilities. For the FF 91, the company had announced a subscription-based software system called FF aiHypercar+, which promised connectivity and personalized AI algorithm services.

Notably, Faraday had previously announced plans for a minivan called the V9 in 2019, but the project was shelved due to a series of financial and managerial challenges the company faced at the time.

Faraday has stated that it will pursue an asset-light model with the FX sub-brand, similar to the approach taken by the now-defunct Fisker. Faraday has suggested that the FX models would either be assembled at the California plant where the FF 91 was built or by a contract manufacturer elsewhere.
