FARIZON SV - THE NEW ELECTRIC SUPER VAN?

EV Channels Review

The Farizon SV enters the electric commercial vehicle market with a strong, futuristic design and a ground-up EV platform, differentiating it from converted ICE vans. The reviewer highlights excellent visibility thanks to a large windscreen and forward-positioned A-pillars. Practicality is a key strength, with a spacious load area, low load height, and optional 270° rear door opening. The interior offers a clean, simple layout with a good balance of physical buttons and a touchscreen, plus high standard equipment levels including heated and ventilated seats and a heated steering wheel. The reviewer notes a potential downside in the driving position, finding it slightly awkward with limited steering wheel reach adjustment. Performance is described as adequate with a front-mounted 231 PS motor, though the sport mode's throttle response was found to be overly sharp. Ride quality is decent, with sophisticated front suspension, though rear leaf springs are traditional. Wind noise at higher speeds is noted as slightly more than expected. The van's maneuverability is a standout positive, with an impressively tight turning circle and easy low-speed handling, aided by 360° cameras. Range figures are competitive, with WLTP estimates up to 234 miles for the 83 kWh battery, though real-world figures without payload are noted. Charging is capable up to 140 kW, with 20-80% taking 36 minutes. The reviewer is impressed by Farizon's commitment to owner operators, with a 4-year warranty and overnight parts supply via DHL, backed by the financial stability of Gilly Holdings. Overall, the Farizon SV is presented as a highly competent and well-thought-out electric van, making a very positive first impression in a competitive segment.
