Farizon V7E Debuts with 6.95cu m Load Space, 1,338kg of Payload
The Farizon V7E medium electric van has been given its official debut at the Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham boasting headline-grabbing cargo space and payload figures.
The V7E is the second UK-bound model from the Geely-owned Chinese firm, following on from the Farizon SV.
Slotting in just below the SV in the Farizon range, the V7E will be offered with choice of either a 50kWh or 67kWh battery, which are capable of just over 200-miles of range on a combined WLTP cycle.
Developed around a so-called skateboard chassis and boasting drive-by-wire technology, the V7E will be available in a just a single L1/H1 body style with prices starting from £28,000.
Key to the V7E’s appeal is its impressive dimensions and carrying abilities, not least its particularly low ride height, which allows for easier loading and unloading.
Thanks to a short overhang at the front, the rear load bay is a vast 6.95 cubic metres, making it more capacious than a Ford Transit Custom, as well as considerably larger than the similarly priced Kia PV5.
The V7E will also haul more weight than other electric vans, up to 1,338kg.
The arrival of the V7E comes on the back of a rigorous five-million kilometres development programme, which has given Farizon the confidence to increase its UK warranty to five-years/120,000-miles.
