The first batch of Farizon SV vans have arrived in the UK via Felixstowe.
Initial examples include two different variants of the eight possible configurations that will be sold in the UK. Farizon is a new energy commercial vehicle brand owned by the Chinese company, Geely Holding Group.
Tom Carney, MD at Jameel Motors Farizon Auto said: “Landing the first UK-spec vans at the port 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, bringing an exciting new proposition to the UK van market.”
UK sales are expected to begin from Q1 2025 with customer deliveries planned for Q2. From launch, eight configurations will be offered with three different lengths and heights. These range from L1 at 4990mm long to L3 at 5995mm long. Heights vary from H1 at 1980mm tall to H3 at 2500mm high.
Across the range Farizon offers three different batteries. L1 and L2 variants can be had with a 67kWh or 83kWh LFP battery. The largest L3 H3 configuration can be specified with the 83kWh LFP battery or a 106kWh NMC battery. Official combined WLTP ranges for the Farizon are between 177 and 247 miles, focusing on urban routes only the SV is said to be capable of up to 342 miles. Additional UK testing is being conducted to confirm real world laden range figures.
Payload is rated at up to 1390kg and maximum load capacity is 13m3. Farizon expects most of its UK sales to focus on L1 H1 and L2 H2 models equipped with the larger 83kWh battery. The SV has a platinum EuroNCAP safety rating with a score of 85 points. The first UK drive opportunities are set for the end of February and UK pricing is expected to be announced soon.
