Geely's Farizon Supervan: A New Ford E-Transit Custom Competitor for the UK

Geely’s commercial vehicle brand, Farizon, is set to launch its electric van, the Farizon Supervan (SV), in the UK. This new model will compete with the Ford E-Transit Custom and Vauxhall Vivaro Electric, offering a range of options to suit various business needs.

Built on a platform specifically designed for electric vehicles, the Supervan features underfloor battery placement to maximize cargo space. It will be available in three sizes:

  • Small: 4.99m long, 1.98m tall
  • Medium: 5.49m long, 2.18m tall
  • Large: 5.95m long, 2.5m tall

In comparison, the Ford E-Transit Custom comes in one height (1.97m) and two lengths (5.05m and 5.45m).

The Supervan offers impressive payload capacities ranging from 1100kg to 1300kg, with cargo volumes between 6.9 and 13 cubic metres, making it a versatile option for businesses.

Battery Options and Range At launch, two battery sizes will be available:

  • 67kWh
  • 83kWh (providing a range of up to 225 miles)

A larger 106kWh battery is also in development to extend the range further.

Interior and Features Inside, the Supervan seats three and includes two displays:

  • A compact unit for driver information
  • A larger central touchscreen for infotainment

Additional Variants and Pricing While the UK lineup hasn’t been fully revealed, Farizon offers the Supervan in China as a seven- or nine-seat minibus and as a camper van.

Pricing is yet to be confirmed, but it’s expected to be more affordable than competitors. For reference:

  • Ford E-Transit Custom: £44,899 (ex. VAT)
  • Vauxhall Vivaro Electric: £51,715 (inc. VAT)

The Farizon Supervan will be sold by Jameel Motors, based in Saudi Arabia, with UK deliveries starting mid-2025.
