Farizon SV Electric Van – Full Vanaways Review

Welcome back to another Vanaways van review. Today, we’re looking at something a little different from the usual diesel-powered workhorses. This is the Farizon SV, a 100% electric commercial van engineered from the ground up as an EV — not a diesel conversion.

With zero tailpipe emissions, rapid charging, and class-leading range and payload figures, the Farizon SV is aimed squarely at UK fleets and sole traders looking to electrify without sacrificing practicality. So, let’s take a proper look at what it offers and how it stacks up in the real world.

Performance, Motor & Battery Options

Under the Farizon SV’s skin sits a 170kW (231PS) electric motor, producing 336Nm of instant torque sent to the front wheels. As you’d expect from an EV, power delivery is smooth, immediate, and far more responsive than a traditional diesel van — particularly useful in stop-start urban driving or when joining faster roads.

One of the SV’s biggest strengths is flexibility. Buyers can choose from three battery sizes:

• 67kWh
• 83kWh
• 106kWh

Depending on configuration, the SV offers a WLTP combined range of up to 247 miles, with city-only figures reaching as high as 342 miles on certain battery options. That makes it well suited not only to urban delivery routes, but also longer intercity work.

Charging downtime is kept impressively low. Thanks to DC rapid charging, the battery can be topped up from 20–80% in around 36 minutes, making opportunity charging during breaks or depot stops genuinely viable.

With no engine oil, belts, or traditional drivetrain servicing to worry about, ongoing maintenance should also be simpler and cheaper than diesel equivalents.

Size Options, Dimensions & Payload

The Farizon SV has been designed as a modular platform, offering five body size configurations ranging from L1 H1 all the way up to L3 H3. This gives businesses the flexibility to choose a van that fits their exact workload rather than compromising on size.

Key figures include:

• Load volume: up to 13 cubic metres
• Maximum payload: up to 1,350kg

Those numbers put the SV right up against established diesel and electric rivals in the large van segment.

Another standout feature is the exceptionally low loading height, at roughly 550mm. That makes a real difference when loading heavy or repetitive cargo, reducing driver fatigue and improving day-to-day efficiency.

Key Features

Load Area & Practicality

Around the back, the Farizon SV continues to impress with a clean, square load bay that’s easy to work with. The shape is ideal for:

• Palletised loads
• Bulky or irregular items
• Bespoke racking systems

Inside the load area you’ll find:

• Pre-installed anchor points for securing cargo
• Wide-opening rear doors, with an optional 270° door swing for tight depots
• A flat, low floor, which makes moving goods in and out noticeably easier

It’s a genuinely practical space that feels designed around real-world commercial use rather than just headline figures.

Interior, Infotainment & Technology

Step into the cabin and it’s immediately clear that this isn’t a traditional bare-bones work van. The Farizon SV’s interior feels modern, premium, and driver-focused.

The dashboard is dominated by a 12.3-inch floating touchscreen, handling navigation, media, vehicle settings, and connectivity. Alongside it sits a 7-inch digital driver display, clearly presenting speed, range, and driving information at a glance.

Standard tech highlights include:

• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Integrated navigation and media controls
• Digital driver information display

Higher trim levels add welcome comfort features such as:

• Heated seats
• Heated multi-function steering wheel

Importantly, Farizon hasn’t gone fully touch-only. Physical buttons remain for key functions, making adjustments quick and intuitive while driving — a big plus for safety and usability.

Overall, the cabin feels closer to a modern passenger EV than a traditional commercial vehicle.

Driver Comfort, Controls & Safety

From behind the wheel, the Farizon SV feels thoughtfully designed for long working days. Controls are laid out logically, visibility is excellent thanks to the high seating position, and the van feels easy to place on the road despite its size.

Driver assistance and safety tech is a major strength. Features include:

• Intelligent cruise control for motorway driving
• Forward collision warning
• Cross-traffic alert for safer manoeuvring
• A full suite of advanced driver assistance systems

One particularly useful feature is the real-time payload monitoring system, which shows exactly how much weight you’re carrying. For fleets and owner-drivers alike, this is a huge benefit for staying legal, safe, and efficient.

The result is a van that feels confidence-inspiring and supportive, whether you’re doing long-distance runs or navigating busy city streets.

Storage & Everyday Usability

Practical storage is another strong point. Up front you’ll find:

• Large dash-top trays for paperwork or devices
• Deep door bins for bottles and tools
• Multiple cup holders and cubbies
• Comfortable, supportive seating with excellent forward visibility

It’s a workspace that genuinely helps drivers stay organised and productive throughout the day.
