Choosing between the two trims of the Nissan NV200 Minivan depends on what your needs are. The S trim includes common features like power locks, power windows, and air-conditioning. If you want something even more convenient and comfortable, the SV trim should do the trick as it comes with an optional touchscreen infotainment display with a USB digital media interface.

Powerful performance output is not something that you should expect from the Nissan NV200 Minivan as the 2-liter inline 4-cylinder engine only produces 131 horsepower and 139-pound-feet of torque after teaming up with the continuously variable transmission.

Even without any cargo on board, it feels very slow and labored.

Torque	139 lb-ft @ 4800 rpm	171 lb-ft @ 4500 rpm	174 lb-ft @ 3800 rpm	258 lb-ft @ 1250 rpm

Leading the table by quite a massive margin, the Mercedes-Benz Metris Worker Cargo is the strongest vehicle among the four with an engine output of 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. With 178 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque, the Ram ProMaster is the next most powerful vehicle. Falling short by a smidge, the Ford Transit comes next by producing 169 horsepower and 171-pound feet of torque. Slowest and weakest of them all, the NV200 resides at the bottom of the table with 131 horsepower and 139 pound-feet of torque.

2017 Nissan NV200 Cargo Van Acceleration

The engine-transmission combo of the Minivan is capable of maintaining a good momentum under typical driving scenarios, even though it lacks power when dealing with larger loads. Although not impressive, the Nissan attains a respectable acceleration of 0-60 mph in 10 seconds. Furthermore, it has the least emission ratings compared to the Mercedes-Benz being the highest emitting characteristics.

Models	Nissan NV200 S Minivan	Ford Transit Connect Cargo XL	Ram ProMaster City tradesman cargo	Mercedes-Benz Metris Worker Cargo
0-60 MPH	10.0	10.1	9.8	8.6
Quarter mile	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A
Top Speed	115 mph	108 mph	115 mph	100 mph

However, the acceleration timings of the rivals are not available, we expect them to be a bit better than the NV200 as they have better power figures. In the top speed section, it is the Nissan NV200 and the Ram ProMaster City which lands first jointly with a top speed of 115 mph. The next in line is the Ford Transit and the bottom position gets occupied by the Mercedes-Benz Metris. 

2017 Nissan NV200 Cargo Van Ride and Handling

The Minivan does not feel stiff to drive and it is a calm and predictable experience overall. During corners, it leans considerably because of the high center of gravity and in spite of having a three-spoke steering wheel and delivers no virtual feel.

2017 Nissan NV200 Cargo Van Braking

The 11-inch front brakes and 9-inch rear brakes of the Nissan Minivan showcase poor stopping power by bringing the vehicle to a halt from 60 mph in 137 feet. The Nissan NV200 comes with 11.1-inch brake rotors in front and 9.0-inch brake rotors in the rear section. For a curb weight of 3260 lbs, it delivers decent braking output. 

Model	Nissan NV200 S Minivan	Ford Transit Connect Cargo XL	Ram ProMaster City tradesman cargo	Mercedes-Benz Metris Worker Cargo
Brake Front (in.)	11.1	N/A	12.0	11.8
Brake Rear (in.)	9.0	N/A	10.0	11.0
Curb Weight (lbs.)	3,260	3,505	3,512	4,222
60-0 MPH (ft.)	137	N/A	N/A	N/A

As known, curb weight plays a major role in the braking section of the vehicle. When being compared it can be seen Nissan NV200 is the lightest cargo van. Whereas the Mercedes-Benz Metris can be seen to be the heaviest. Though the braking distance is unavailable we could not distinguish as to which vehicle is the best in the segment.

2017 Nissan NV200 Cargo Van Towing Capacity

Amongst its competition, the Nissan Minivan does not possess the capability to tow. The Mercedes Metris has the highest towing capacity in the field, while Ram and Ford stand on the same pedestal.

Model	Nissan NV200 S Minivan	Ford Transit Connect Cargo XL	Ram ProMaster City tradesman cargo	Mercedes-Benz Metris Worker Cargo
Towing Capacity (lbs.)	N/A	2000	2000	5000

While the towing capacity for the Nissan NV200 is unavailable, we can see the rivals have some impressive figures. When being compared the Mercedes-Benz Metris raises the trophy for winning in this section. Both the Ford Transit and the RAM ProMaster City have a towing capacity of 2000 lbs while the Benz defeats this duo with a capacity of 5000 lbs.

The bright side of owning a cargo van, irrespective of its poor engine performance and acceleration output is its highly fuel-efficient characteristics. The NV200 is no different in these terms and exhibits a very impressive fuel economy. 

Model	Nissan NV200 S Minivan	Ford Transit Connect Cargo XL	Ram ProMaster City tradesman cargo	Mercedes-Benz Metris Worker Cargo
MPG (city)	24	20	21	21
MPG (highway)	26	27	28	24
MPG (combined)	25	23	24	22
Tank Capacity(gal)	14.5 gal	15.8 gal	16.1 gal	18.5 gal
Range(City/Highway/Combined)	348/377/362	316/427/363	338/451/386	388/445/407

Proving to be the most efficient vehicle among the four, the Nissan has the best fuel economy ratings of 24 mpg in the cities, 26 mpg on highways, and 25 mpg combined. It is followed by the ProMaster with 21 mpg in cities and 24 mpg combined and a better economy than the Nissan on highways - 28 mpg. The Ford Transit does better than the Mercedes Benz on highways and combined ratings with 27 mpg and 23 mpg up against the 24 mpg and 22 mpg respectively. The Mercedes however does better by 1 mpg than the Ford in cities.

The driving position can be a little bothering due to the inability to adjust the steering wheel. There is one center armrest meant for the driver only.

Though The cabin is built well, it flaunts large scale use of plastics. Controls and its layout are neatly arranged so as the driver doesn't face any difficulty finding them. On the other side the cabin can be said to be quite spacious. 

Model	Nissan NV200 S Minivan	Ford Transit Connect Cargo XL	Ram ProMaster City tradesman cargo	Mercedes-Benz Metris Worker Cargo
Passenger capacity	2	2	2	2
Front (Head/Shoulder/Leg) (In.)	41.7/54.1/42.6	46.8/57.6/41.5	46.0/59.3/40.8	39.6/-/35.8

All four vehicles have a similar passenger capacity of two. The Ford Transit has the most headroom while Nissan has the most legroom. The Benz proves to be the most congested among the four with the least headroom and legroom space. Some of the interior features of the Nissan NV200 Cargo Van are:

Nissan NV200 vs Ford Transit Connect Cargo XL

The Ford Transit Connect Cargo has been designed to fulfill the economical and practical needs. With a maximum payload capacity of 1610 pounds and a towing capacity of 2000 pounds, the Transit represents a high-utility vehicle. The 2.5-liter 4cylinder engine coupled with a 6speed automatic transmission powers the front wheels. 

The interior ambiance is maintained by the 6.5-inch touch screen, safety features like rear cross-traffic alert and blind-spot monitoring add confidence on the road. In comparison with the Nissan NV200 Minivan, the Transit has a better engine output that costs it a slight dip in its fuel economy. In addition, the cargo space is incredibly small.

Nissan NV200 vs Ram ProMaster City Tradesman Cargo

A highly practical vehicle from European origins is now becoming a popular face on the American streets - the Ram ProMaster City Tradesman Cargo ensures a best in the class deal. Powered by a 2.4-liter 4cylinder engine and complemented by a 9speed automatic transmission and front-wheel driver, the ProMaster focuses on space, economy, and other utilities like integrated cargo tie-downs and other lines of accessories.

When compared with the Nissan NV200 Minivan, the ProMaster is seen to have better engine output with slightly less fuel-efficient characteristics. The larger cargo volume adds to expected practicality from a cargo van.

Nissan NV 200 vs Mercedes Benz Metris Worker Cargo

In spite of its nimble dimensional characteristics, the Mercedes Benz Metris is capable of accommodating enough cargo like that of larger vans. With the 2-liter turbo 4 engine, 7speed automatic transmission, and rear-wheel drive, the Metris is more powerful than you would expect from a cargo van. 

It features loads of tech as well, some of them being a load adaptive stability control and Crosswind Assist. Up against the Nissan NV200 Minivan, the Metris has a much powerful engine while the fuel economy takes a toll. Nevertheless, the massive cargo space covers up any disappointments.

The 2017 Nissan NV200 Minivan is a basic cargo van that you afford at a very reasonable price. It will cost you some facilities and power but will be enough to get the work done. The cargo space is quite less than its rivals and that matters a lot as it is the only aspect that counts. Moreover, the interior is made of cheap quality materials and it adds to the long list of compromises you have to make.

The Nissan NV200 Minivan would not probably be the best choice for you if you were looking for performance and larger cargo space. It may be cheaper than its rivals but if you were getting what you need by spending a few thousand extra bucks, we would not recommend you to stick with the Nissan NV200 Minivan.
