The Livan 8 is a battery electric MPV built for family and shared mobility use. It sits in the midsize EV MPV segment and offers a five or seven seat layout with a tall roof and long wheelbase.
The Livan 8 uses two battery options around 50 kWh and 68 kWh. Claimed range reaches up to about 340 miles CLTC on the larger battery, which translates to a lower real world figure. AC charging supports home and public slow chargers, while DC fast charging handles mid speed top ups. Some markets also support battery swapping.
Pricing targets the lower end of the electric MPV market, undercutting many rivals from larger brands. It suits families, fleet operators, and ride hailing use where space and cost matter more than performance. Alternatives include the Maxus MIFA 5 and BYD D1. A close comparison is the BYD Song Max EV, which offers similar size and pricing but a more SUV like shape.
