Every 2018 NV200 Compact Cargo also offers America's best commercial van warranty1, with basic limited warranty coverage of 5 years/100,000 miles, whichever comes first. The powertrain limited warranty is also 5 years/100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
"Right-Sized" to Maximize Cargo Efficiency
The NV200 Compact Cargo is designed to be the "right size" for small business owners and fleet operators wanting smaller, more efficient work vans. The combination of a 115.2-inch wheelbase with a 186.3-inch overall length, along with a compact drivetrain and rear suspension, provides an 82.8-inch cargo length, 54.8-inch cargo width (48.0 inches between the rear wheel wells) and 53.0-inch cargo area height. With its low cargo floor liftover height (21.1 inches) and tall roofline, the NV200 Compact Cargo features a large cargo capacity of 122.7 cubic feet. Payload is rated at 1,480 pounds (S model).
The NV200 Compact Cargo is designed to be highly maneuverable in traffic or when negotiating city parking spaces, with a 36.7-foot curb-to-curb turning diameter. Yet it is every inch a business workhorse with its wide-opening doors and ability to carry standard U.S. 40 x 48-inch pallets enhancing its exceptional utility.
The tall rear doors are a 40/60-split design, with the 60-percent side on the right (curb) side for easy access from a sidewalk. The 40-percent left side door is shorter, reducing its potential intrusion into the street when open.
Both rear doors feature dual opening positions of 90 degrees and 180 degrees. The standard sliding side doors are designed for low effort. All doors are solid (no windows) to accommodate advertising or business signage, with privacy door glass, passenger side sliding door glass and back door glass with privacy, and defroster optionally available.
Added commercial flexibility is provided by the 20 standard integrated, reinforced cargo-mounting points, which allow installation of racks and shelves without drilling into the sidewalls, and six available floor mounted cargo hooks (standard on SV models) in the cargo area. Six exterior roof rack mounting points are also standard.
The NV200 Compact Cargo's exterior design features a Nissan signature front grille, aerodynamic front-end design and functional cabin design. Other exterior features include halogen headlights, durable black front and rear bumpers and outside mirrors with wide-angle spotter mirrors and available heated function. Body-colored bumpers and outside mirrors are also offered.
A selection of five exterior colors is offered: Fresh Powder, Brilliant Silver, Super Black, Cayenne Red and Graphite Blue.
A Driver-Focused Cockpit
The NV200 Compact Cargo's driver-focused cockpit includes both comfort and functional features. The driver's seat is mounted in a high commanding position that is easy to get in and out of and provides a good view of the road and surrounding environment. The 6-way adjustable seat with manual lumbar and armrest is designed for durability with outboard vinyl wear patches. The passenger's seat is a 4-way adjustable design. Height-adjustable front seat head restraints and front door map pockets are also standard.
The Nissan NV200 Compact Cargo offers "Mobile Office" functionality with a center console featuring laptop/hanging file folder storage, pen/pencil tray, CD holder and dual cupholders. Recessed storage areas are provided on the upper instrument panel for folders and documents.
In addition, the passenger seat folds down to serve as a worktop or lunch table, or it extends the cargo space for hauling longer items such as pipe or lumber. Passenger seat slide travel is nearly 9.5 inches. The durable 15x13-inch tray built into the seatback can fit most laptops and be used as a desk, replete with a penholder.
Power windows with auto up/down are standard, as is a 12-volt power outlet on the instrument panel. An additional 12-volt power point in rear of center console is available. There is also a drive computer, battery saver feature, AM/FM/CD with auxiliary input and two front door mounted speakers.
Available technology includes standard Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, RearView Monitor and available SiriusXM® Satellite Radio (SiriusXM® subscription required, sold separately).
New for 2018 is the Navigation Package with 5.8 color touch-screen display, SiriusXM® Satellite Radio, SiriusXM® Traffic and SiriusXM Travel Link (SiriusXM® subscription required, sold separately).
Standard safety features include the Nissan Advanced Air Bag System (AABS), roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags for front occupant head protection, front seat-mounted driver and passenger side-impact supplemental air bags, Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
Efficiency and Affordability
The Nissan NV200 Compact Cargo is built on Nissan's proven compact commercial platform and features an efficient 2.0-liter 16-valve DOHC 4-cylinder engine rated at 131 horsepower and 139 lb-ft of torque. The engine is matched with a responsive and efficient next-generation Xtronic transmission. Fuel economy2 is rated at 24 mpg city, 26 mpg highway and 25 mpg combined.
The NV200 Compact Cargo suspension utilizes independent struts and stabilizer bar in front and a leaf spring design in the rear. Front disc/rear drum brakes with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist are standard, along with electric power-assisted steering and 15-inch steel wheels mounted with 185/60R15 high-load all-season tires. Hill Start Assist (HSA) is standard on all grades.
Two Well-Equipped Models
The 2018 Nissan NV200 Compact Cargo is available in two well-equipped models, NV200 S and NV200 SV, in a choice of five exterior colors, matched with a gray cloth interior.
In addition to the long list of standard features on the NV200 S, the SV model adds power heated outside mirrors (including convex spotter mirror), remote keyless entry with two key fobs, cruise control with steering wheel-mounted controls, additional 12V power point in the rear of the center console, six floor-mounted tie-down D-rings in the cargo area, body-color bumpers, outside mirrors and rear license plate finisher, full wheel covers and chrome grille.
