Farizon V7E undercuts Kia PV5 and dives below $50K"},"content":{"rendered":"

Farizon has confirmed drive-away pricing for its V7E electric van ahead of its Australian launch in May, undercutting key rivals to become the cheapest EV van currently confirmed for the local market.<\/p>\n

Priced from $49,990 drive-away for the 50kWh Standard Range variant and $53,990 drive-away for the larger 66kWh version, the V7E moves ahead of the recently announced Kia PV5 Cargo on entry price.<\/p>\n

The Kia has pricing from $55,990 plus on-road costs, bringing it into line with traditional diesel workhorses such as the Toyota HiAce.<\/p>\n

However, Farizon\u2019s sharper drive-away figure now resets the benchmark, further lowering the barrier for fleet operators and small businesses considering a switch to electric.<\/p>\n

Distributed locally by Jameel Motors Australia, the V7E is aimed squarely at couriers, trades and fleet buyers, with a focus on matching the usability of traditional internal combustion engine vans while delivering potential long-term savings through lower running and servicing costs.<\/p>\n

Key to that positioning is a payload capacity of more than 1300kg and cargo volume of 6.95 cubic metres, figures designed to align closely with established diesel competitors in the light commercial segment.<\/p>\n

The V7E also forms part of a broader push by the Geely-owned Farizon brand into the Australian market, following earlier confirmation the electric van would be introduced locally as part of an expanding commercial vehicle line-up.<\/p>\n

Adam Lawson, Country General Manager, Jameel Motors Australia, said the V7E reflects a growing shift in the commercial vehicle market as electric options become increasingly viable for day-to-day business operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe V7E has been developed to meet the real expectations of commercial vehicle operators \u2013 capability, value and dependable day-to-day usability,\u201d Mr Lawson said. \u201cWith pricing that sits competitively alongside traditional ICE vans, combined with the potential for lower running and servicing costs over time, the V7E offers a strong total cost of ownership proposition for many businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Farizon has confirmed drive-away pricing for its V7E electric van ahead of its Australian launch in May, undercutting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":641083,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[64,63,40022,44,310378],"class_list":["post-641082","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-farizon","tag-news","tag-v7e"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/641082","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=641082"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/641082\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/641083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=641082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=641082"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=641082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
