Vehicle Overview

Nissan expands its range of business-oriented NV models with the debut of the NV200 compact cargo van. Available in the beginning of the 2013 calendar year, the NV200 is powered by a four-cylinder engine and has an estimated payload capacity of 1,500 pounds. Competitors include the Ford Transit Connect and Ram Cargo Van.

Exterior
The NV200’s front-end incorporates familiar Nissan styling cues like a mesh-style grille or an optional grille with chrome slats. The swept-back nose and raked windshield give the NV200 a unique appearance. Additional exterior features include:

  • Fifteen-inch steel wheels with all-season tires
  • Dual, sliding side doors
  • 60/40-split rear doors that can open 180 degrees
  • Available heated side mirrors
  • Available glass windows in the rear doors

Interior
The work-oriented interior features two front bucket seats that are finished in cloth with vinyl wear patches. A center console storage area can hold a laptop or hanging files, and the passenger seat can fold flat to be used as a makeshift table. The cargo area behind the seats measures 123 cubic feet. Additional interior features include:

  • Power windows
  • Cargo-area mounting points for aftermarket racks and shelves
  • Available power door locks
  • Available cruise control
  • Available navigation system
  • Available Bluetooth connectivity

Under the Hood
Power comes from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that works with a continuously variable automatic transmission. Additional mechanical features include:

    Six years in service

    I bought it new for my handyman/construction business and never had any issue. I added the GPS/Bluetooth/Camera package. Other then regular oil change every 5000 miles I didn't have any mechanical issue. Added a heavy duty roof rack to carry plywood sheetrock and lumber. Most trips are local so my average mileage is 10,000-12,000/yr with average 20.1 miles/gallon. Saved $$$$ compared to the Chevy 2500 I had before. Cons: insufficient AC in extreme weather temps, requires payment to update the GPS (I'm using Google maps on my cellphone)

    light handling

    This car has met our needs dfor many months. It is lightweight and drives smoothly. Best of all it is not a gas guzzler. We can fit our floor machines in easily and trap them into the driver dividning wall we had installed and can easily organize our chemicals in the cabin shelves.

    Best cargo van for general contractors.

    If using this vehicle for business,its gonna save you a lot of money on gas. For 4 years that i own this vehicle,i had issue only with AC compressor and just recently replaced break paths,rotors and drum shoes and realized that it could wait another year.

    not built for big people

    The Company I work for bought a 2015. Been driving it now for a couple of months. I find I get backaches from the driver's seat. The seat is narrow, hard and uncomfortable for long drives and the space is very cramped. I have to slide over to the right side of the seat so I have room to move my left arm for steering or I bang my elbow into the hard plastic door panel. The gas pedal is too close to the console, my leg is up tight against it, and the brake pedal is too close to the gas. I cannot wear boots to drive because the side of the boot catches on the brake pedal when I try to move my foot over to apply the brake. The visors are also poorly designed. They do not slide along the arm and only cover a small portion of the front view, and the sun is always in the spot not covered. They hang down diagonally over the side windows and block a large portion of the view out of the window. They do not fold up to cover only the top of the window. The visibility out of the vehicle is also very bad. The large pillars in the front and small side windows make seeing lights, signs, pedestrians and cyclists a challenge, especially if the visor is down on the side window. Backing out of a parking space is done totally blind, you cannot see any approaching vehicles with the small mirrors and lack of windows in the back. The small fuel tank and the fact the filler is on the passenger side are negatives too. Good gas mileage, adequate space inside, lack of power when loaded, not much clearance underneath for bumpy roads, easy to park. The main problem is they are designed for small people. I find the driver's area is very cramped, and I'm not a really large person. I occasionally bang the shifter out of gear because it sticks out into the space when reaching for the heater controls. Same with the wiper lever. It's easy to bump using the steering wheel. Just too small for larger people.

    Great vehicle for the money.

    Then NV200 turned out to be the perfect choice. Plenty of hauling space, sufficient power, excellent gas mileage and modern technology. The ride is relatively smooth and quiet. The handling feels solid and the turning radius is amazing. I've owned mine for a month now, and my only complaint is that the seats could be a little more comfortable. My reliability rating is mostly based on my other Nissan which in 4 years of ownership with 40K miles, not one problem. As a service vehicle, I wasn't expecting a whole lot from the NV200, but it has surprised me in how much fun it is to drive. The Tech Package is well worth the money, with Pandora Radio from your iPhone, Google Send to Car and Points of Interest, and text messaging functionality. Twice the gas mileage of a full size van, and better ride and handling than its competition, make the NV200 a great choice if it meets your cargo size and weight requirements.

    Excellant Mini Cargo Van

    We love this mini cargo van that meets our needs of occasional hauling of merchandise. Pros : good gas mileage, easy to drive, just enough power Cons : too small gas tank , sun visors that won't stay partially up either fully up or down

    EZload Gig van

    Saw nv200 in commercial fleet of service vehicles and saw NO LEDGE to lift equipment over. Started search that day. Took my presentation package of wheeled one man band(Amp,mixer,keyboard and mics) in the subcompact van I've been loading by lifting over rear lip to dealership to test load. Expected to fit rear only and found my package loads easily from rear, from left or right. Load locked easily into "D": rings at floor level. Ready for load specific clamp down use in less than an hour. It is EXACTLY what I wanted and needed. Even though it was evident that I had already made up my mind, my dealership treated me fairly. This is a functional utilitarian transport for my 3-400 lb. load and handles easily. The loss or high rev gear shifting makes steep grades a non-issue. Would like to have a grab bar on the passenger side but having loaded and unloaded 20 times in the first month of ownership, I take a lot of pride in the new "case" for my musical equipment . I'm 69 and could never justify the expense of a brand new vehicle but the NV200 is the best match I've ever found for my specific need. Yes, I like it a LOT. .

    Solid econmical Van

    Nice little van. Alot of my driving is unloaded, and i see on average 24.8 to 25.1 with mixed driving. the 130hp engine puts out more power than you would expect. As long as your not in a hurry fully loaded ( i estimate 1,200lb) the handling, acceleration and braking is adequate for what it is. (remember its not a sports car or, large van or pickup -dont expect amazing) Didn't notice too much drop in gas mileage either. (loweset was 21.4 so far). The CVT transmission takes a bit getting used to and might not be for everyone but i really like it. I test drove both the NV200 and the Transit connect, Both have their plus and minus but overall i chose the NV200. Biggest selling points for me -Better mileage, 60 40 rear door, Price. I also liked the interior and over all driving experience a bit better. (nothing specific-just liked it better)

    Dreams come true

    Ok, what can I say....I am real happy with this van. I consistently average 27.2 mpg with 90%hwy driving. This is with a 6 mile up hill climb to home base. I love the cvt, no gear hunting climbing the hill and plenty of pep carrying about 400lbs of equipment. Great access getting to things. It is also a good surfboard shuttle. With the passenger seat folded down my 11-0 longboard fits with 1 inch to spare. The drivers seat is comfortable and reclines for nap time. I drive a lot and enjoy the smooth car like ride.

    Awesome so far

    I did a lot of research comparison before purchasing this vehicle. After two weeks, I can tell you that it's everything I hoped it would be. I bought this vehicle as a service vehicle for intercity use. So far the utility and fuel efficiency are excellent. It is comfortable to drive, and very spacious. This is a maximum amount of van, for a minimum amount of money. What a great value!
