Used 2018 Nissan NV200 Taxi for sale 

The Nissan NV 200 has an additional variant NV 200 SV with the standard variant NV 200 S. The SV variant cost only $1000 extra. Unlike other brands, Nissan has equipped both S and SV variants with different features for better versatility in different parts of the world. The SV has the same powerhouse, dimension, fuel efficiency, towing capacity, transmission, comfort, and onboard electronics.

Now moving on to the differences, the SV variant has some different exterior features, drive assist features as well as infotainment features than the standard one. The optional features provided by Nissan are also different for both S and SV variants.

We Recommend:

Regardless of the way one would choose to use it, we recommend you to go with the SV trim here. The primary reason being the difference in features awarded with the same as compared to the more humble S trim. Mind you, the differences are not limited to aesthetics here, but extend towards sophistication of driver assistance technologies as well as upgradation of creature comforts in the cabin. The powertrain, on the contrary, will be shared between the models.

The NV 200 has a less powerful but efficient engine. Keeping the power requirements as per the vehicle’s caliber in mind, Nissan has equipped the 200 with a 131hp 2.0L I4 engine coupled with CVT automatic transmission. The van produces 139 lb.-ft. at the rate of 4800 rpm. This much power is enough to get the job done, well it might disappoint you while coming off the stoplights.

The NV200 S gets easily defeated by its competitors as they all feature a more powerful engine as well as a bigger price tag. Mercedes-Benz Metris leads the competition Ram ProMaster City and Ford Transit. Apart from that, the Mercedes-Benz Metris produces 258 lb.-ft. of torque at a mere 1250 rpm.

2018 Nissan NV200 Cargo Van Acceleration

For a cargo van, talking about acceleration is a bit unusual, but the Nissan gets from 0-60 mph is 10 sec while there is no data on the quarter-mile margin. Yet again for a cargo van that is impressive as well.

The NV 200 has a CO2 emission of 7.1, the least in the class. As for the competition, there is no data on other competitors so we can't compare it. But considering the engine and the torque produced, it is clear that the Mercedes-Benz Metris will outperform other vans in this segment.

2018 Nissan NV200 Cargo Van Ride and Handling

The Nissan NV 200 utilizes a speed-sensitive electric power steering with CVT automatic transmission. This makes driving it in stop and go traffic more comfortable. The ride dynamics is not the best but for a cargo van but with its least in segment price tag, you won't be complaining a lot. The cargo van is equipped with standard Vehicle Dynamic Control for safety in cases of oversteering or understeering.

The lack of power may not bother you in the city’s traffic but on the highway, with a fully loaded NV, you will get the backdrop of the same. Also, the matchbox design makes the NV extremely vulnerable to crosswinds. Around the corner, you will sense a lot of body roll, so it's recommended to not jab the pedal before a turn. The high sense of gravity makes handling even worse. The lack of steering wheel adjustment turns long routes into a taxing situation for long drivers. The absence of proper seat adjustment makes creature comfort a remote concept.

2018 Nissan NV200 Cargo Van Braking

The Nissan NV 200 is featured with an advanced braking system for safer driving. Nissan has also added several brake assist features. The 11.1-inch front ventilated disc brakes and 9.0 inch rear drum brakes get the vehicle from 60-0 mph in only 137 ft. That is quite impressive. Features like Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Anti-Lock Braking System, and Brake Assist are essential for improving the safety of the driver and passenger.

Turns out the NV200 is not the worst of vans when it comes to emergency power cuts. There is some element of thrift in the brakes since they seem substantially small for a van its size. Perhaps they may work exceptionally well with an empty compartment, but when loaded, it will be pretty hard to break the momentum. 

The Nissan cargo van has the best in class mileage one can get from a cargo van thanks to its enhanced fuel-efficient engine. This van offers average fuel efficiency of 24/26 mpg in the city and highway, respectively.

Comparatively, the Nissan produces more miles per gallon than any of its arch-rivals. That being said, it is only possible because there is not much of a difference between the city and highway mileage of the van. On the other hand, vans like Ford Transit offer a very low MPG figure in urban areas and hence have a lower combined number of miles per gallon.

The Nissan NV's interior is highly functional, with little nooks and crannies to store stuff, including a handy pull-out drawer under the driver's seat. The gauges and controls are straightforward and easy to use. Just keep in mind it's a utilitarian cabin with minimal luxury touches to be found.
