Exterior Design: Sleek, Practical, and Balanced

The Livan 8 carries on the brand’s “rounded square” design philosophy. The closed grille is accented by a chrome trim that spans its entire width, harmoniously connecting the smoked LED headlights on either side and creating a sleek, tiered visual effect. The charging port is discreetly concealed behind the brand logo, preserving the front fascia’s aesthetics while improving everyday usability—a more refined solution than exposed charging ports.

The front bumper features a three-part design, incorporating side daytime running lights and a wide lower air intake accented by vertical chrome elements. This design not only improves aerodynamics but also lends a touch of understated ruggedness to the minimalist front end. The multiple sculpted lines on the hood reinforce the impression of power, preventing the vehicle from appearing too austere despite its positioning as a family car.

The side profile features clean, straight lines. With a total length of 4,812 mm and an ultra-long wheelbase of 2,807 mm, the Livan 8 offers a spacious and much more comfortable interior.

A floating roof, achieved through blacked-out pillars, visually lightens the silhouette, while 18-inch low-drag wheels optimize both aesthetics and efficiency. The drag coefficient has been reduced to 0.29 Cx, contributing to lower energy consumption. Subtle character lines along the lower body panels enhance the vehicle’s stability and presence. Compared to the previous model, the curb weight has been reduced by 75 kg, further improving range and overall agility.

Interior and Cabin: Practicality First and Foremost, a Flexible Space

The LIVAN 8 features a 2/2/3 seating configuration. Its dimensions are as follows: length 4,812 mm, width 1,909 mm, and height 1,699 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,807 mm. The vehicle offers a total interior volume of 1,798 liters, ensuring generous space for passengers and luggage. Even with all seats occupied, the trunk offers 459 liters of space, making it an ideal choice for both short family trips and long journeys. In addition, the design of the second-row Executive seats enhances comfort and facilitates access to the third row, thereby optimizing the passenger experience.

A Luxurious Entertainment Experience

The interior of the Livan 8 prioritizes functionality and ease of use. The dashboard features a clean layout and intuitive controls. Standard features include a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, and an electronic gear selector—all designed for a simple and effortless driving experience.

Chassis and Driving Experience: Comfort-Oriented Tuning

The Livan 8 is a front-wheel-drive vehicle equipped with a comfort-oriented suspension system. The MacPherson strut front suspension, combined with a torsion beam rear suspension, effectively absorbs road irregularities, ensuring optimal stability even on uneven surfaces.

The Livan 8 offers a smoother ride, ideal for family trips. The electric power steering is light and intuitive, making low-speed maneuvers and parking easier. At higher speeds, the steering remains stable and precise, ensuring a smooth ride on the highway. Wind noise is well controlled at a cruising speed of about 110 km/h, allowing for normal conversation without having to raise your voice. The overall refinement of the driving experience exceeds expectations for an electric minivan in this price range.

Cargo capacity: very flexible for everyday and family use

The 7-seat version offers 286 liters of cargo space with all seats in use, expandable to 1,798 liters when the third row is folded down. Multiple interior storage compartments further enhance its practicality, while the wide aisle in the second row can temporarily hold bags or baby items, making the Livan 8 just as suitable for family trips as it is for transporting light cargo.
