Farizon is coming to the UK with a new van, but in this Farizon V7E dimensions guide you'll find out that the new all electric van from the Geely-owned Chinese manufacturer isn't as small as you might think. In fact the V7E size will be quite a surprise to many, so keep reading to find out the Farizon V7E length, V7E height and its width.
The Farizon V7E is a compact electric van positioned below the larger SV, designed primarily for urban delivery and trade use.
Although it seems like it would fit neatly below the SV in terms of size, it is in fact longer than the "bigger" van, but it is significantly narrow. It's also roughly the same height, but manages to have the same internal load volume because the floor height is lower. It is then, quite a clever package.
Its sub-5.0m length, narrow body and low load height make it a practical option for city-based operators looking for more space than a small van without stepping into the mid-size segment.
We'll break down each of the important dimensions of the Farizon V7E, but we'll also compare it to the Farizon SV dimensions and take a look at a new and obvious rival by measuring up the V7E against the Ford Transit City dimensions.
| Farizon V7E | Dimensions |
|---|---|
| Overall length | 4,995 mm |
| Front overhang | 685 mm |
| Rear overhang | 1,110 mm |
| Wheelbase | 3,200 mm |
At just under five metres long, the V7E is comparable in footprint to many medium electric vans, making it easy to manoeuvre in tight urban environments, while it relatively long 3.2m wheelbase, and short overhangs help to maximise usable load space without significantly increasing overall length.
| Farizon V7E | Dimensions |
|---|---|
| Width (excluding mirrors) | 1,820 mm |
| Width (including mirrors) | 2,206 mm |
The narrow body width is a key advantage in city driving, particularly on tight streets or when navigating parked traffic. It's also the key differentiating factor when comparing the V7E to the SV, but more on that in a minute.
| Farizon V7E | Dimensions |
|---|---|
| Overall height | 1,985 mm |
At under 2.0m tall, the V7E should fit into most height-restricted car parks, that's a key benefit over taller medium vans but pretty much a requirement that most manufacturers have figured out over the years.
| Farizon V7E | Dimensions |
|---|---|
| Wheelbase | 3,200 mm |
A 3.2m wheelbase is relatively long for a van of this size, helping to improve load space packaging and stability, while still maintaining a compact overall footprint because of the short overhangs.

|---|---|
| Ground clearance | 135 mm |
The low ground clearance is the V7E's secret weapon as it means the internal loadspace height it greater than the SV. It might be narrower, but the lower ride and loading height make up for the width.

|---|---|
| Loading height | 500 mm |
A 500mm load height is notably low, making it easier for drivers to load and unload goods, which is particularly useful for multi-drop delivery operations that the V7E has been designed for. Again, the lower loading height also helps with the load area volume.
| Farizon V7E | Dimensions |
|---|---|
| Load length | 2,865 mm |
| Load width | 1,690 mm |
| Load height | 1,435 mm |
| Loadspace volume | 6.9–7.0 m³ |
Unlike the V7E, the Farizon SV comes in several sizes, here's a size comparison between the V7E dimensions and the L1H1 SV van, which is the smallest model in the SV range.
| Dimension | Farizon V7E | Farizon SV L1H1 |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 4,995 mm | 4,990 mm |
| Width (excl mirrors) | 1,820 mm | 1,980 mm |
| Width (incl mirrors) | 2,206 mm | 2,294 mm |
| Height | 1,985 mm | 1,980 mm |
| Wheelbase | 3,200 mm | 3,100 mm |
| Front overhang | 685 mm | 830 mm |
| Rear overhang | 1,110 mm | 1,060 mm |
| Ground clearance | 135 mm | 150 mm |
| Load height | 500 mm | 550 mm |
On paper, these two vans are almost identical in length and height. The main things to note are that:
Ford's Transit City is the most obvious competitor to the Farizon V7E, below is a quick look at how they compare.
The two vans are exceptionally close in size, the main difference being that the Transit City is available in several variants, which means the larger models out-class the V7E. However, the smallest Ford Transit City and the V7E are essentially the same size.
Both are under 5m in length, and 2m in height. The Transit City is wider, and therefore more closely matched to the Farizon SV, but all three vans are very similar in size.
| Dimension | Farizon V7E | Ford Transit City |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 4,995 mm | 4,985 mm - 5,200 mm |
| Width (excl mirrors) | 1,820 mm | 2,000 mm |
| Width (incl mirrors) | 2,206 mm | - |
| Height | 1,985 mm | 1,991 mm - 2,285 mm |
| Wheelbase | 3,200 mm | 3,060 mm - 3,360 mm |
The Farizon V7E’s dimensions position it neatly between small and medium vans.
Its compact exterior, long wheelbase and low load height combine to create a van that is easy to manoeuvre but with a decent cargo capacity.
