Overview

In the realm of fullsize vans, the 2020 Nissan NV Passenger is well known. Prices go up to an MSRP of $34,295, with a total of 3 trims being offered. With gorgeous, and in fact quite roomy, interiors, the NV Passenger offers seating for up to 12 people. The engine powering the S and SV trims is a 4.0L V6 mated to a 5-Speed Automatic transmission. This engine maintains a combined fuel economy of 12 MPG while making 261 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque. However, if more power is required, the top-end SL trim comes equipped with a 5.7L V8 engine. This engine is mated to a 7-Speed Automatic transmission, making 375 horsepower and 387 lb-ft of torque. Nissan offers a decent amount of practical as well as cosmetic features, further increasing the prospects of the NV Passenger Van among competitors like the Chevrolet Express 3500 Passenger Van, the Ford Transit Passenger Van, and the GMC Savana 3500 Passenger Van.
