First Farizon SV vans arrive in UK ahead of order books opening
The first Farizon SV vans have arrived in the UK, and are set to go on sale during the first quarter of 2025, with a delivery date in Q2.
The first batch of vans encompassed two of the eight variants that will be initially available in the UK.
The Farizon SV panel van will be available from a smallest L1 H1 (4.9 metres long x 1.9 metres high) version, to the biggest L3 H3 (5.9m long x 2.5 m high) variant. The L1 and mid-sized L2 Farizon SVs will have 67 kWh and 83 kWh battery options, while the L3 H3 will be made available with either an 83 kWh or a 106 kWh unit. The combined WLTP range of the Farizon SV is between 177 and 247 miles, with an urban WLTP range of up to 342 miles.
With such a broad range of body styles, the SV is expected to compete with the Ford E-Transit range, including the full-size E-Transit and the E-Transit Custom, as well as a host of Stellantis rivals.
The Farizon brand is owned by Chinese automotive giant Geely. The SV recently received a Platinum safety award from Euro NCAP with a score of 85 points, which places it among the UK’s best options for safe and reliable large vans.
The award also makes Farizon the top-ranked Chinese all-electric commercial vehicle brand in the Euro NCAP ratings.
Jameel Motors will be responsible for introducing the SV to the UK market under the Jameel Motors Farizon Auto banner, as well as its sales across the country. Jameel Motors is a leading provider of mobility solutions and partner of choice to top automotive brands in Turkey, Morocco, Egypt, Algeria, Japan, China, Monaco.
Jameel Motors Farizon Auto managing director, Tom Carney, commented: “Landing the first UK-spec vans sends a strong message to UK retailers and customers: we mean business.
“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.”
