[4] Over a year later on June 19, 2019, an unnamed LEVC plug-in commercial van was revealed,[5] which was later officially named the VN5 next year in March 2020, with "VN" standing for "van" and "5" referring to the 5 cubic metres (176.5 cu ft.) of cargo space.

[9] The LEVC VN5 has a 31 kWh lithium ion battery with a Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP)-certified electric range of 58 mi (93 km), with 50 kW direct current rapid charging for the Business and City trims, allowing the battery to be fully charged in 30 minutes, and 22 kW alternating current fast charging for the Ultima trim.

[8][11] The VN5 comes standard with a collision avoidance system, cruise control, and a 9 in (23 cm) touchscreen, while a heated steering wheel, front and rear parking sensors, curtain airbags, and a lane departure warning system are available in the City and Ultima trim.
