With gorgeous, and in fact quite roomy, interiors, the NV offers seating for up to 12 people. The standard engine on offer is a 4.0L V6 mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. and makes 261 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque. However, if more power is required, one can get a 5.6L V8 for an additional $9,00. This engine is also mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission, making 317 horsepower and 385 lb-ft of torque. Nissan offers a decent amount of practical as well as cosmetic features, further increasing the prospects of the NV among competitors like the Ford E-Series Wagon, the Chevrolet Express Van, and the GMC Savana Van.

Buying Advice

The SV sits in the middle of the trim range and is available with both engine options, unlike the top-ranking SL trim. In addition to all the features of the base S trim, it also gets 2 extra speakers in the sound system, chrome exterior accents, and more. We also suggest the SV Technology Package worth $950.
