Overview

In the world of cargo vans, the 2014 Nissan NV Cargo Van is a well-known name. Belonging to the fullsize van segment, the Nissan NV competes with the Ford Transit Cargo Van, the Chevrolet Express Cargo Van, and the Ram Promaster Cargo Van. The base trim starts at around an MSRP of $26,000. With 3 trims on offer with three load ratings and 2 roof heights, prices reach around $33,440. Traditionally offered bareboned, cargo vans can be equipped to fill the need of the buyer. The NV too can be equipped with packages such as the Vinyl Seat package, the Power Basic package, or the All-Around Glass package, improving either form or function. The standard engine on offer is a 4.0L V6 mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. This engine makes 261 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque. However, if more power is required, one can get a 5.6L V8 engine on the 2500 and 3500 rating models. This engine is also mated to a 5-speed transmission and makes 317 horsepower and 385 lb-ft of torque.

Buying Advice

Despite being offered in a wide range of trim levels based on load ratings. Our choice is the mid-range 2500 version for better load ratings compared tothe base trim. Furthermore, it is divided into two trims, S and SV, out of which, the SV trim seems like quite a bargain adding features like 17-inch styled steel wheels, four audio system speakers, chrome exterior accents, rear parking sensors, a lockable center console, hardboard interior cargo panels, and a few more features.
