Farizon SuperVan 2026 Review

With the arrival of the Farizon SuperVan in early 2025, the Australian market now has a long-wheelbase, high-roof electric van platform that's suitable for range of purposes, including motorhome conversions.

To bring this EV camper conversion to life locally, Queensland's Bartons Group teamed up with its RV sub-brand Brisbane Camperland, and the result is a lineup of two plug-in campers, led by the flagship long-wheelbase Traveller 6.

We put the flagship model through its paces to see if this Chinese electric van (in this case loaded up in campervan mode) makes sense here in Australia...

The Farizon EV camper range kicks off with the medium-wheelbase 5.5m Traveller priced at $129,990 driveaway. However, our test model, the 6.0m Traveller 6, comes in at $144,990 driveaway.

For those just wanting the base, LWB High Roof Farizon Supervan, budget for a starting price around $85K.

For the extra cash, the Traveller 6 we’re testing adds half a metre in overall length, replacing the smaller layout with a permanent ground-level queen bed and a fixed combination shower/toilet ensuite. And with a high roof, you can easily stand up inside, unless you’re Shaquille O’Neall.

At under $145,000 driveaway, you’d be hard-pressed to find a brand-new, factory-backed diesel motorhome with a fit-out of this caliber, let alone an all-electric one.

The foundation is the Farizon SuperVan, constructed on Geely’s dedicated commercial electric vehicle platform.

Tucked beneath the floor is an 83kWh CATL Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) liquid-cooled battery, which not only lowers the vehicle's center of gravity but provides a pre-existing high-voltage system that is going to outperform almost any aftermarket lithium setup.

Inside, the fit-out is handled by Brisbane Camperland, who have installed insulated internal walls, custom cabinetry, Laminex benchtops, and high-end componentry designed to handle Australia’s varying road conditions.

The Traveller 6 weighed in at an as-tested tare weight of 2842kg not including occupants. Against its 3500kg GVM, that leaves roughly 624kg of usable payload for water, gear, and passengers, which is a fairly healthy buffer for a motorhome of this size.

Plus, the driver’s instrument cluster features an onboard scale system that monitors your real-time rolling weight, so you'll always know if you're legal.

From the outside, the Farizon Traveller 6 is sleek and futuristic, garnering plenty of attention as we made our way south out of Brisbane.

A point of difference for the Farizon is its B-pillar-less passenger side entry, which offers a huge, unobstructed side opening that connects the interior living area with the outdoors.

Setting up camp is effortless thanks to a roof-mounted Fiamma F45s electric awning that extends at the touch of a button. Above, the high roof houses a Dometic FreshJet air conditioning system and a 200W solar panel paired with a Winegard omnidirectional TV and radio antenna.

At the rear, 270-degree barn doors open wide to access sub-bed storage, while an exterior shower and fold-out picnic table round out a solid external setup for campsite living.

Step through the walk-through front cabin, which features heated and ventilated faux-leather seats and a heated multifunction steering wheel, and you’re greeted by a surprisingly open floor plan.

The Traveller 6 doesn't rely on a drop-down loft bed, instead using a permanent, ground-level queen sprung mattress. There’s also LED reading lights and a 24-inch Smart TV at the foot of the bed, making for a comfortable bedroom setup.

The kitchen features Laminex benchtops, a stainless steel sink with mixer tap, a single-plate Camec induction cooktop, an 85L Brass Monkey fridge, and a versatile Camec 28L 3-in-1 microwave, air fryer, and convection oven.

Opposite the kitchen is a compact ensuite, housing a gelcoat shower setup, a basin, and a Thetford cassette toilet.

For those who wish to travel off-grid, there’s an additional Enerdrive 200Ah lithium auxiliary battery, a 2,600W Enerdrive inverter with AC transfer, and a full Redarc RedVision management system keep track of your power and water levels via a central display or Bluetooth app.

But, the van also sits on a giant battery, meaning charging and powering small electronics can be done from the cabin.

The Farizon is powered by a single front-mounted electric motor delivering 170kW of power and 336Nm of torque, which is right on par with the majority of diesel van options and performance is similar.

Off the line, it accelerates briskly but doesn't fling you into the back of your seat like an EV passenger car. Instead it pulls with strong, linear gusto akin to a modern commercial electric truck, even up at highway speeds.

On the open road, the Farizon is smooth and surprisingly quiet, but that EV silence means you do hear creaks and rattles up back. We don’t doubt the fitout is top-notch, but without any discernible powertrain noise you’ll hear everything else, including road noise on rougher sections of blacktop.

The electric van also handles well thanks to its lower centre of gravity, but lacks the plush, well-damped composure of European competitors like the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter or Renault Master.

In terms of things we aren’t too keen on, the steering feel is quite artificial with a robotic self-centering action that takes a little getting used to.

Front quarter visibility is also hindered by an unusual double A-pillar design, similar to that which is found on the Kia PV5 electric van, which is perhaps a compromise for the lack of B pillars.

Where the Farizon really shines is its regenerative braking. The regen is stout and functions much like a heavy truck’s retarder or engine brake, effortlessly managing the van’s mass and allowing true single-pedal driving around town. Brake pedal feel is also excellent, with a seamless transition between electric regen and the traditional service brakes.

Safety tech is comprehensive, with features like adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, lane keep assist, and a 360-degree camera system that makes parking a van this size pretty simple.

The active driver aids are generally unobtrusive, but the overspeed warning chime is a pain. If you creep even 1km/h or 2km/h over the detected speed limit, it will beep relentlessly until you drop back down. We all know speedos are a few kilometres out, so if you match your road speed with the GPS, be prepared for some beeping.

As a touring vehicle for coastal runs or semi-rural road trips, the Traveller 6 works well. Just make sure you don’t go too rural, because you’ll need a DC charger handy every few hundred kilometres.

Pulling into a site requires almost zero setup, which we like. Park, extend the electric awning, turn on the air conditioner and crack a beer.

Energy consumption during our testing averaged 26.7kWh/100km, giving the camper a real-world driving range of around 300km on a full charge. When it is time to top up, the 83kWh battery supports DC fast charging at up to 140kW, taking you from 10 to 80 percent charge in around 26 minutes.

The 200Ah Enerdrive system and onboard 200W solar setup provide plenty of off-grid capability for running appliances, lights, and hot water without needing to plug into mains power every night you’re away.

However, due to its real-world range limits and front-wheel-drive layout, this is a motorhome best suited to on-road touring rather than remote outback adventures.

If your dream trip involves tackling desert tracks, a front-wheel-drive electric van isn't the right tool for the job, nor is the Farizon suitable for big kilometres unless you don’t mind spending a significant amount of time at charge stations.

However, for couples seeking a modern, comfortable, zero-emissions motorhome for coastal trips, semi-regional touring, or hassle-free weekend getaways, the Farizon Traveller 6 makes a lot of sense.

Is it perfect? No. But at $144,990 driveaway, you get a factory-backed EV motorhome fitted out by an experienced RV and automotive business.

The Farizon base represents an impressive leap forward for electric touring down under, at a price we can swallow. Turn off the over speed warning and you’ll be good to go.
