Overview

In the world of cargo vans, the 2015 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 $26,240. With 3 trims on offer with three load ratings and 2 roof heights, prices reach around $35,060. 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 Technology 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

We are skipping the base S trim as there are a few options and packages which are not offered on it. We recommend the mid-range SV trim which fills in the weak areas of the base trim. Some of the standard features it includes are rear parking sensors, a 4-speaker sound system, exterior chrome accents, and more.
