Farizon vans go on sale in UK

Order books are now open for the Farizon SV, with the first customer deliveries expected in April 2025. Prices start at £45,000 excluding VAT.

Its UK importer, Jameel Motors UK, has announced pricing and specifications for the new model, which sits between the Ford e-Transit and the Ford e-Transit Custom in terms of size.

A dealer network for the brand is currently being set-up with 18 retailers planned at launch, details of which will be announced ahead of Farizon's public debut at the CV Show April 2025.

A new brand to the UK, Farizon is China's biggest-selling commercial vehicle manufacturer and a maker of trucks, buses and heavy-duty vans in its domestic market. The company is part of Geely Holdings Ltd, which also owns Volvo, Polestar and LEVC.

There will be five different size combinations available at launch, with prices starting at £45,000 (ex. VAT).  It will be offered in L1 H1, L1 H2, L2 H2, L2 H3 and L3 H3 configurations, each with an extra-low loading height of just 550 mm. Payloads vary by model, but range from 1,160kg to 1,350kg.

Three battery packs will be available – 67 kWh or 83 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) units or a 106 kWh nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery on the L3 H3 model.

In each case, the battery powers a 231PS motor with 336Nm of torque. Range varies depending on model and battery choice, and is between 177 and 134 miles (WLTP).

The SV gets a four-year, 125,000 mile warranty, with eight years of cover for the battery. 

One of the key selling points will be the specification, which appears very generous and includes automatic headlights with Intelligent High Beam Control, automatic wipers, a 360-degree Surround View camera, heated and ventilated seats for driver and passenger, plus a heated windscreen.

Also fitted as standard is an innovative payload monitoring system, which uses ride-height sensors to calibrate the vehicle’s weight.

An accurate payload read-out on the LCD driver’s display helps drivers and fleet operators ensure that they are meeting gross vehicle weight regulations. Overweight loads are alerted to the driver.

Other standard features include, advanced connectivity, a heated multi-function steering wheel, high-power USB charging, automatic air conditioning, physical buttons alongside touchscreen control, a full-size spare wheel and a full advanced safety and assistance package.

Only one trim level will be offered, with options including a 220v vehicle-to-load system with three three-pin plugs, a towing pack and 270-degree rear doors (the standard layout being 180-degree).
