2015 Nissan NV200 Compact Cargo - Driven Review 

Excellent review; thanks! I'm planning on buying a nissan nv200 soon myself because I'm an independent courier; I'm a delivery driver and these Van's work perfectly for what I do for work; especially when it comes to fuel efficiency in town. great review once again; thanks.

My NV was the regular one. But had cruise, Bluetooth, etc. don't need navigation. It was $22,000 OTD. I was going to have the rear windows installed, but during the 8 week wait, decided I'd save the $400. I drive this vehicle everyday in SF Ca. With the huge increase in car burglaries here.. the less windows the better!

I have one, love it!

Lol! I bought my 2013 for my Flower business 😊. Now I want to convert her to a camper! Thanks!

Wow, this has a lot of utility. I'd love to have one of these as a replacement for my Toyota Tacoma run-around truck. Especially since no manufacturers are making reasonably-sized small trucks any more. Even better if they bring over the EV version.

Same as below. Mine is a 2010 model which now has about 85,000km on it. I’ve had it for two years now and i can’t fault it. It is large enough for me to camp in and carry my bicycle, plus I can move between the front and rear compartments with ease without getting out of the vehicle. It is also small enough to use as a runabout. My one has a 1600cc engine matched to an automatic transmission which might not be the world’s most powerful vehicle on hills but the payback is a fuel economy of 40mpg (65kmpg). Disagree with the presenter’s comments re steering and handling - it steers fine and is sure-footed on unsealed roads. It is also nice to drive.

BAD REVIEW: From the get-go you smirked at what you were driving. This excellent vehicle does not merit your smirking at it. It drives very well almost to the point you hardly recognize it is a cargo van. It is really a very nice everyday vehicle both on and off highways. Because it IS a cargo van, we can hardly make jest about it having “only the front seating”. We own one and absolutely love it’s maneuverability and comfort. Bad untrue review.

it is not terrible to drive it is a nice driving Van I have one

I need a van for mobile detail is this van perfect to fit a skit mount? And the rest of my supplies?

Is it possible to upgrade the tire size from 15" to 16"?

Yeah, your right; Nissan should have made an L2 variant like the Citroen Dispatch for 8'/2.5m large building panels. I guess they keep it small and light for the Micra/Leaf platform.

I think I just found my dream vehicle

Why would anyone review a brand new vehicle. I'm looking at a 2015 with 110k miles on it now . It would be more helpful to review a used NV 200 now to see how they have held up.

No business need, I have a NISSAN LEAF for daily commuter and hardly manage to get my SCUBA gear with two tanks, and metal detection gear. Oh its a 2013 so the range on the LEAF sucks! NV200 need an option with second row bench seat so wife and kid and travel. Is is very utilitarian no questions.

Yet! 2017 Oct. I got one 2013 nv200 vs model first sold on 2014 April. So I should still have 1 1/2 year warranty of 5 year 60000 mi from the factory? Overall I'm very happy with this cargo van. Handle easy !gas mile great! Maybe I didn't own this to long ,but wish all the ex owner can give me some idea !

A very well & Informative review , far much better than crappy top gear I must say

Thanks for your comments about the cargo space not accommodating 4' by 8' sheets of plywood. Too bad van seats don't have a space under them so that sheets could slide under the seats. Maybe you could put plywood vertically between the two front seats? Or you could put plywood up on top of the seat headrests up front and set the edge of the plywood at the bottom of the tailgate. I think that plywood would fit that way too.

aside from the crash test ratings probably not being the best, for the price, this is better than a Mini Van!

Can it handle the weight

great job! good lecture

I bought an nv200 new in early 2015, worst mistake I ever made! With 500 miles of the odometer it began to GUSH oil from a fitting that was left loose at the factory, picked up a nail in the tire and of course it could not be repaired but come to find out the nv200 uses a propriety tire so you can ONLY get them from the dealership and it was almost $200 for the tire not including mount and balance, these tire are the smallest pos tires I have seen on a modern vehicle. Then the domelight fell out of the headliner and hit me in the head while I was driving which meant another trip to the dealership service department. After that I ran the tire up on the curb when parking in a very tight spot, bent the wheel, the steel wheels are insanely thin gauge steel. Ended up putting a small dent in the lower panel under the doors in between the front door and the slider, keep in mind this was a small dent, well the paint is so poor quality that the paint split and cracked down to the sheet metal for about 12 inches in both directions! Finally with 10k miles on it the thing start smelling of hot coolant and started losing antifreeze with no obvious leak. Traded it in for a Ram Promaster city and couldn't be happier, the promaster city is superior to the nv200 in every way, the Ram has way more power, better mpg's and far better handling all with much improved fit and finish.

What motorcycle did you load..... It doesn't look long enough for even mid size cruisers like sportster or 900 vulcan.

Were you hired by Ford or Dodge or Toyota to do this review? You very likely know nothing about the awesome NV200!

Your 25 mpg, was that loaded down or just you in the van?

I'm curious to know if you are still satisfied with the van? Any info would be awesome!

great review!

Nice review, not many good van reviews out there

Do you have a rattling coming from the rear doors? I brought mine in for warranty and they told me it's normal. What a POS truck if it is.

For one last time, this van will not take 4 X 8 sheets of construction material. Otherwise, good video review.

Hello guys I'm trying mo make a survey about nissan CVT transmissions so I wanna know the locations(countries/states/territories/cities, etc) of every nissan CVT lovers and Nissan CVT haters as well. Thank you so much guys and hope you all join the survey.

Would this be a good cheap "RV" by adding a twin mattress and a sleeping bag at a truck stop? I am looking for one to replace my motel room stays.

Can I handle the weight

i have the 2015 chevy city express same van differnt name.

and window cleaners with water tank & poles! :-)

Any one else's nv200 eat tires like crazy?

It's a shame that the rear doors open from the inside, it makes it far to easy for your "guests" to escape.

good work man , bot thes is not the car which boys interested in . 😊

We know is a Cargo van.....lol

Bad review, agreed. "It drives a lot like a panel van." - four times nonetheless. Acceleration is a separate handling characteristic than steering, braking, parking, driving through McDonald's drive through. I don't think it handles like a "panel van" at all, in the traditional sense of the term. How about accessing narrow rural routes or driveways crowded with overgrowth? Saying (numerous times) that it handles like a panel van is not only needlessly repetitious and wrong, it is woefully unhelpful. Dare I say, "pointless". I'm absolutely certain that the handling characteristics that you did NOT mention (once) are much more important than the one you did, acceleration, are much higher on a potential buyer's list of priorities. In summary, if I take a risk watching any further commentary from you and hearing "panel van" one more time describing this unique and efficient vehicle with unlimited potential, I would then risk the thoughts about jabbing my eardrums with an icepick I had hearing you say it the second, third, and fourth time in this weak review just so I wouldn't have to hear it again, and again, and again.
