First Farizon vans arrive in UK
Thu, 20 Feb 2025
The first shipment of Farizon Supervans – or SVs – has arrived in the UK ahead of the model’s dealership debut in March 2025.
Owned by Geely Motors, the parent company of Volvo, Polestar and LEVC, Farizon is aiming for the first customer deliveries of the new van in April. There will be eight panel van variants of the SV on sale in the UK, ranging from L1 H1 (4990 mm long, 1980 mm high) through to L3 H3 (5995 mm long, 2500 mm high).
L1 and L2 variants will have 67 kWh and 83 kWh LFP battery options, with the L3 H3 variant equipped with either an 83 kWh LFP or a 106 kWh NMC battery. The combined WLTP range is between 177 and 247 miles, with an urban WLTP range of up to 342 miles.
UK testing is underway to validate real world unladen and laden range figures, which will be published closer to launch. The SV has a payload of up to 1390kg with a load capacity of up to 13 cubic metres.
The Farizon SV has also received a Platinum safety award from Euro NCAP with a score of 85 points, making it the top-ranked Chinese electric commercial vehicle brand in the Euro NCAP ratings.
Farizon Managing Director Tom Carney believes the brand can make an impact in the UK.
"We introduced ourselves and our plans for the Farizon SV last month and we’re on track to meet our ambitious timelines. The team is already meeting customers, retailers and partners as we prepare for the start of sales in the coming weeks, bringing an exciting new proposition to the UK van market," he says.
