to find the full list of features and options available on the award-winning Farizon SV.
Available as an option on the all-electric SV large van, Farizon’s new ‘Nostalgia Mode’ is designed for tradespeople and delivery drivers who really miss the ‘good old days’ of their diesel-engined workhorses. Activated via a handy app, ‘Nostalgia Mode’ emits a specially developed ‘Eau de Diesel’ scent, a surprisingly charming new fragrance that will instantly take drivers back to the smelly combustion vans of yore.
While the vents emit the powerful new scent into the cabin, ‘Nostalgia Mode’ also alters the van’s throttle mapping to dull accelerator responses. Ideal for those who are unaccustomed to the instant acceleration of the SV’s powerful electric motor, which delivers 170 kW (231 PS) and 336 Nm of torque; the new feature will be a boon for drivers who prefer the slower pace of life.
For those who miss the rattling charm of diesel engines, ‘Nostalgia Mode’ also pipes the incessant droning clatter through the cockpit’s speakers, with the pitch specially mapped to match the rate of acceleration, while integrated haptic seat-shakers replicate the bone-jarring vibrations that once travelled through the vehicle structure.
Elektra van O'Dor, Lead Era-defining Vehicle Attributes Engineer at Farizon, said: “The Farizon SV is a purpose-built zero-emission eLCV that’s known for its refinement and efficiency. Despite this, we’ve been working hard to appeal to the average Brit’s love of nostalgia.
“Along with a long-lost love for Marathon bars, Blur CDs and a good old A-Z, our research unearthed a longing for the smell of diesel particulates and the intrusive rattling of a trusted old workmate. Our new ‘Nostalgia Mode’ feature is a timely reminder of the olden days."
This was an April Fool. While Nostalgia Mode isn't real, the savings you can make by switching to the all-electric Farizon SV most certainly are. Find out how much you could save by comparing your diesel van's efficiency here .
