Vehicle Overview
The NV is Nissan’s first attempt at gaining a share in the full-size commercial van category. Offered in either normal or high-top body styles, the NV is a new contestant in the class that’s been dominated by Ford’s E-Series and GM’s Express and Safari commercial vans.
The Nissan NV is available in three versions: 1500, 2500HD and 3500HD.
Apart from being offered in cargo van spec, the NV 3500HD can be ordered as a standard-roof passenger van providing room for up to 12 passengers.
New for 2014
All vehicles equipped with a V-8 engine now have an automatic transmission with Tow Mode, ClassIV receiver hitch, seven-pin connector pre-wiring, brake controller pre-wiring and heavy-duty battery as standard features.
