Jameel Motors has announced pricing for the all-new Farizon V7E electric commercial van, priced from $49,990 drive-away for the standard-range 50kWh grade.
Buyers can also opt for the longer-range 66kWh variant, which is positioned at $53,990.
The city-focused commercial van is powered by a single electric motor driving the front wheels, producing 110kW and 230Nm, and is paired to a 50kWh lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) battery rated to deliver 240km of WLTP driving range.
A 66kWh model has been confirmed for Australia and will bring up to 329km of WLTP driving range.
The Farizon V7E van is offered with a 1300kg payload and 6.95 cubic metres of cargo volume. It measures 4995mm long, 1820mm wide, and 1985mm high.
The V7E will run on 400-volt architecture and accept up to 100kW DC fast-charging for a 10-80 per cent charge time of 26 minutes for the 50kWh version, and 33 minutes for the larger 66kWh battery using slightly slower 97kW DC fast-charging.
Inside is a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster.
For safety, it will feature front and rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, front and rear collision warning, lane-keep assist, and autonomous emergency braking (AEB).
Other features include blind-spot monitoring, a 360-degree parking camera, heated and ventilated seats, and a heated steering wheel.
Automatic LED headlights, LED tail-lights, along with 240V Vehicle to Load charging (V2L) for powering tools and appliances.
Jameel Motors Australia general manager Adam Lawson said in a media release the "V7E reflects a growing shift in the commercial vehicle market as electric options become increasingly viable for day-to-day business operations".
Lawson also pointed towards the V7E's “pricing that sits competitively alongside traditional ICE vans, combined with the potential for lower running and servicing costs over time" as a potentially better option for buyers.
