The Farizon V7E UAE price starts at AED 115,000, and Jameel Motors says the van is available now. That figure is the whole story: it puts a 6.9-cubic-metre electric panel van within a few thousand dirhams of a mid-spec diesel one, which has not been true of any electric commercial vehicle sold here before.
Farizon is Geely's commercial-vehicle arm. The V7E is its first serious push into the UAE, and it arrives into a segment CarsClub sees real traffic in, vans for sale in the UAE is a live category, and the Toyota Hiace alone drew 1,580 listing views on CarsClub over the last 30 days.
What you get for AED 115,000
One price, one configuration, announced by DriveArabia on 22 September 2026. Jameel Motors is the UAE distributor, the same group that handles several volume brands here, which matters more for a commercial vehicle than it does for a private car, because a van that is off the road waiting for a part is losing money every day.
Two things were not published at launch and should be confirmed with the dealer before you sign: the maximum payload in kilograms and the warranty terms. For a private buyer those are footnotes. For a fleet they are the deal. Ask for both in writing.
Specs that matter
| Specification | Farizon V7E |
|---|---|
| Battery / range | 67 kWh, up to 350 km WLTP |
| Motor / torque | 110 kW (approx. 148 hp), 230 Nm |
| Top speed | 120 km/h, single-speed |
| Load bay (L×W×H) | 2,865 × 1,690 × 1,435 mm, 6.9 m³ |
| Length / wheelbase | 4,995 mm / 3,200 mm |
| Charging | AC and DC |
The number to look at is 1,435 mm of load height. That is tall enough to stand a washing machine, an air-conditioning unit or a stacked pallet upright without laying it down, and it is the dimension that decides whether a van suits your trade. The 2,865 mm load length takes standard 8-foot boards flat.
Note what is missing from that table. There is no gross vehicle weight and no payload figure, because Farizon did not publish either at launch. A 67 kWh battery pack is heavy, and battery weight eats directly into what a van is legally allowed to carry. If your loads are dense, tiles, paint, generator sets, anything measured in kilograms rather than cubic metres, the volume figure is the wrong number to shop on and you need the payload in writing first.
The 120 km/h top speed is the one genuine constraint. On the E11 between Dubai and Abu Dhabi you will be sitting in the right-hand lanes, and any route that includes a long stretch of 140 km/h limit will take you noticeably longer than it takes a diesel van. For city and inter-emirate work it is irrelevant. For a daily Dubai-Abu Dhabi run it is not.
Costs vs a diesel van
This is where an electric van either justifies itself or does not, and it is the calculation nobody publishing launch news has bothered to do.
| Cost item | Farizon V7E | Diesel panel van |
|---|---|---|
| Energy per 100 km | ~19 kWh | ~9-11 litres diesel |
| Oil services | None | Every 10,000-15,000 km |
| Brake wear | Reduced by regeneration | Standard |
| Belt / DPF / injectors | Not applicable | All eventual costs |
| Salik crossing | AED 4 off-peak, AED 6 peak | Identical |
The honest reading: the savings come from maintenance, not from fuel. UAE diesel is not expensive enough for the energy difference alone to pay back a price premium quickly, check the current month's rate on the UAE petrol prices page and run your own numbers on your actual mileage. What an electric van removes is the drip of oil changes, filters, injectors and diesel particulate filter problems that eat a high-mileage diesel van's margin after year three. If your van does 40,000 km a year, that drip is the real number.
Charging rate is the variable you control. Charging at a workshop or warehouse overnight on an AC connection is a fundamentally different cost from topping up on public DC chargers mid-shift. If you have nowhere to charge overnight, the case weakens sharply.
Real range in UAE heat
Treat 350 km as a laboratory figure and plan on roughly 250-280 km in real UAE conditions, that is an estimate, not a manufacturer claim, and it assumes the thing that matters most here: the air conditioning is on. A loaded van with the AC fighting a 45°C August afternoon does not return its WLTP number, and any salesperson who tells you otherwise is selling.
At 250 km of usable range, the V7E comfortably covers:
- A full day of Dubai deliveries across Deira, Al Quoz and Jebel Ali
- Dubai to Sharjah or Ajman and back several times over
- Dubai to Abu Dhabi one way, with charging required before the return
It does not comfortably cover a same-day Dubai-Abu Dhabi round trip with a working day in the middle. Be honest about your routes before you commit.
Who should buy one
Buy one if you run fixed urban routes, park somewhere you can charge overnight, and keep vans for five years or more. That is where the maintenance saving compounds and the range ceiling never bites.
Do not buy one if your work is unpredictable long-distance, you park on the street, or you turn vans over every two years. On a short hold, an unproven residual is a real risk, there is no UAE resale history for this model yet, and a van with no track record will be marked down by the first buyer who cannot look up what it is worth. You can sanity-check what established vans hold by running a make through CarsClub's car valuation tool before you decide.
The nearest alternative on the used market right now is a low-mileage Toyota Hiace, where 2025 examples on CarsClub start around AED 99,999. That is a known quantity with a known resale floor. The V7E is cheaper to run and more expensive to guess about.
Before buying any imported commercial vehicle, confirm it is GCC-specification rather than a grey import, the difference shows up in warranty, cooling and resale, and our guide to GCC specs versus American specs explains what to check.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is the Farizon V7E in the UAE?
The Farizon V7E starts at AED 115,000, as announced at its UAE launch on 22 September 2026. Jameel Motors is the UAE distributor and says the van is available now. Confirm the on-road total with your dealer, since registration and insurance are additional to the quoted list price.
What is the range of the Farizon V7E?
Farizon quotes up to 350 km on the WLTP cycle from a 67 kWh battery. Expect meaningfully less in UAE conditions with air conditioning running and a loaded bay, plan around 250-280 km as a working estimate rather than relying on the WLTP figure.
How much can the Farizon V7E carry?
The load bay measures 2,865 mm long, 1,690 mm wide and 1,435 mm high, giving 6.9 cubic metres. The maximum payload in kilograms was not published at launch, so request it in writing from Jameel Motors before ordering if you carry heavy loads.
Is an electric van cheaper to run than a diesel van in the UAE?
Usually yes, but the saving comes mainly from maintenance rather than energy. You remove oil services, filters, injectors and diesel particulate filter costs. The electricity-versus-diesel gap alone is modest at UAE fuel prices, so the case is strongest on high-mileage, long-hold fleets.
Does the Farizon V7E qualify for Dubai EV incentives?
Dubai has offered EV benefits including free public charging periods and registration concessions at various times, but eligibility and end dates change. Check the current position on the official UAE government portal at u.ae or with RTA directly before assuming any incentive applies to a commercial vehicle.
The verdict
At AED 115,000 the Farizon V7E is the first electric van in the UAE priced as a working tool rather than a statement. It suits fixed urban routes and long ownership, and it does not suit unpredictable long-distance work or a two-year hold with an unproven residual.
If you want to see what the van market looks like before committing to a new nameplate, browse the current vans for sale on CarsClub, or compare against the wider electric cars listed in the UAE.
