LEVC has confirmed its eight-seat MPV will go on sale in the UK within the next two years.

The Geely-owned business, most well-known for its London taxi, outlined plans to launch a range of electric cars and vans, last year.

The LEVC L380 is a luxury electric people carrier based on Geely's latest electric vehicle (EV) platform.

LEVC says the new model will offer an "unprecedentedly spacious and luxurious experience, whether for families or business users".

New images revealed by the manufacturer show a large glass roof and a suite of interior digital displays.

Alex Nan, CEO of LEVC, said: “As we accelerate our transition from manufacturing the world’s most advanced and iconic taxi to becoming a leading e-mobility technology company, I am delighted to reach another important milestone, revealing more details on our new L380, which sets new standards in the luxury MPV sector.

“As with all our products, L380 takes inspiration from the company’s rich history, combined with the vast resources and technical innovation of the Geely Holding Group. It is full of exquisite details and delightful touches, combining space-efficient design with premium quality, raising the bar for multi-purpose vehicles.

“The innovative SOA technology on which L380 sits spearheads our exciting new strategy that will see the business take a global approach, growing our footprint across the world. We aim to have a presence in over 40 countries in the coming years, with multiple new models based on the SOA platform leading the way.”

LEVC has confirmed the L380 will launch in China first, before spreading into other markets.
