Overview

In the realm of fullsize vans, the 2018 Nissan NV Passenger Van is well known. Prices go up to MSRP $32,810, with a total of 3 trims being offered. With gorgeous, and in fact quite roomy, interiors, the 2018 Nissan NV Passenger offers seating for up to 12 people. The standard engine on offer is a 4.0L V6 engine mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. This engine maintains a combined MPG of 16 while making 261 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque. However, if more power is required, one can get a 5.6L V8 engine for an additional $3,300. This engine is mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission, making 375 horsepower and 387 lb-ft of torque. The optional engine returns a combined fuel economy of 13 mpg. Nissan offers a decent amount of practical and cosmetic features, further increasing the prospects of the NV Passenger Van among competitors like the GMC Savana Passenger Van, the Chevrolet Express Passenger Van, and the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.

Buying Advice

While it is not entirely bare bones, the base S trim of the Nissan NV Passenger is still quite basic and will likely prove to be unsuitable for most consumers. If you desire extra comfort and additional features like 12-volt power outlets, upgraded sound system, and 8-way power driver seat, we recommend upgrading to the SV trim level.
