The Farizon SV is a new all-electric large van that launched in the UK market in 2025. It’s quite an interesting entrant because it’s designed specifically for Europe and backed by the Geely group - the same parent company as Volvo, Polestar, LEVC and Lotus.
Front-wheel drive, single electric motor 170 kW / 230 bhp. The SV features a drive by wire system which means no mechanical link between controls and wheels (steering, braking, throttle all electronic).
Claimed benefits: better energy efficiency, shorter braking distances and more flexible packaging.
SV UK pricing is £45,000–£56,000 + VAT depending on spec. There are three battery options depending on size: 67 kWh (LFP), 83 kWh (LFP), 106 kWh (NMC). Range is claimed between 177 miles and 247 miles.
There are a variety of configurations to choose from, my test van happens to be the L1 H1.
SV Payload: up to 1,390 kg
Cargo volume: up to 13 m³
Towing: up to 2,000 kg braked
Low loading height: 550 mm
The Farizon SV is available in 1 highly specified trim level. Unlike rivals, most features are standard:
360° camera
Large infotainment screen (~12.3")
Heated & ventilated seats
Heated steering wheel
Wireless Apple CarPlay
Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)
Payload monitoring system (built-in “weighing scale”)
Pros
Strong payload and cargo space
Competitive range for the class
Very high standard equipment
Innovative tech platform
Cons
Infotainment screen can feel unresponsive
Interior materials not as premium as some rivals
Driving experience is competent but not engaging or dynamic.
The main competition for the Farizon SV is Ford E-Transit / E-Transit Custom, VW ID.Buzz Cargo and the Renault Trafic E-Tech.
The Farizon SV is essentially, a high-spec, tech-heavy electric van aimed at fleets and trades who want a lot of equipment and decent range for the money. Its biggest differentiator is that drive-by-wire platform, which could become a big deal if it proves reliable long-term.
