Why I Love the Nissan NV200 Cargo Van

[@user-wi1jv3vc2o]

I really do like my NV 200 when I bought it the person that sold me the van also sold me an oil change up to 100,000 miles I think anyway every time I brought my van and have my oil changed he would try to sell me a bunch of other things. I didn’t really need like batteries and everything else, last time I took my van in to get my oil changed. I noticed my air conditioner stopped working long story short I found out the guy had cut the wires going to my clutch on my compressor then tried to tell me I needed a new compressor. Needless to say I stopped going back to that person, I just don’t know if I’ll ever trust anyone to ever work on my van again I’ve had my envy 200 on blocks for the last couple of days fixing things that they busted on it trying to sell me additional work. I should’ve turned them in, but I really don’t know what the police could do about it, or anyone else it’s a shame that they took something as nice as my van and sabotaged yet just to try to make money off of me anyway keep doing what you’re doing as long as you do it. Honestly you got my support. Thanks. Monk Cartwright 👍😉⚔️⚔️⚔️

I recently upgraded from a 2018 NV200 S to a 2020. My only complaint is the 15” wheels. I’ve bent 2 rims in 2 years. Otherwise, totally reliable, comfortable and easy to maintain. I refinish hardwood floors, the cargo capacity is ample and the low deck makes loading and unloading easy. I’m sad Nissan has discontinued their cargo vans in North America.

[@RiDankulous]

These vehicles have been used by a lot of camper people, as I have seen. The gas mileage and low cost are great. It might be a bit tight for full time living.

[@alancolie3850]

I'm thinking about buying one of these for my delivery business. These are awesome looking vans; they suit what I do as an independent courier. Excellent video review. Thanks.

[@aaronsoto4622]

Just bought a used 2018. Love the thing. I work as a handyman. Best purchase ive made.

[@mckeon1960]

Just wondering hows your second hand one doing a year later please

[@aaronsoto4622]

@@mckeon1960 it's still running great. Bought it 60k miles now at 115k miles. Still the same. Only issue now though, is that I'm realizing this van is simply too small for job. I carry way too many tool's. It's a very small van I realize.

[@DustBustersDuctCleaning]

As a handy man would you say you have a fair amount of tool weight in the van ? I’m thinking about buying 1 for a small duct cleaning and HVAC business I wonder if my equipment will weigh down the van

[@aaronsoto4622]

@@DustBustersDuctCleaning don't do it. It's simply too small. I got rid of it after 3 years. Outgrew it. Anytime you wanna find a tool, you'll be emptying out the entire van I just couldn't do it anymore. Get yourself a fullsize van or just a truck. Makes life sooooooooo much easier and saves time, money, etc. Comfortability is #1

[@DustBustersDuctCleaning]

@@aaronsoto4622 yeah I’m looking at the Nissan nv cargo van . Seeing how I am also 6ft tall like you said comfortability is key . And it’s also not professional Looking to be emptying my van to find a tool too bad these weren’t just a little bit longer

[@cassleer]

I know this is a year old video, but can you add a 3rd seat in it that can be taken out? I am looking at this to do the gig work since I am struggling finding a job and will still need to haul my child that can't sit in the front yet.

[@mranonymous8815]

Hi, I'm going to buy this little van for a camper conversion, I love its dimensions and its look. Can you tell me what the air vents at the rear (bottom right at 2:45) are for? Is the warm air from the heating directed up to here or is it just an passive ventilation of the space between the inner and outer chassis?

[@discosecret6363]

Those plastic covers are pointless. There is no rear heat/ac.

[@danielprohoroff6263]

What’s the reliability of this van?

[@philc.9280]

I realize this video is 3 years old but I'm looking for a small cargo van for a van build and am researching this one, promaster city and ford transit connect. The only drawback with the NV200 is the CVT transmission which has a questionable record. The Nissan was the best deal I could find at the time. 2014 with only 50K miles so it sat in the garage a lot. As I researched the CVT I will change the fluid every 25K as that seems to be the best way to keep the CVT from troubles.

[@bossman-vj3dz]

The ford transit connect also have transmission problems as well on top of that electrical issue. I also have a nissan nv200 with 150k no transmission problems because I changed out the transmission fluid every 20k miles. No issues at all

[@alumahomeinspections7009]

Hi, You know where the cigarrete lighter fuse is located in the 2014 NV200? Thank you

[@mirandarightsallrightsrese8327]

What is your opinion on the CVT. I like the NV 200 but worried about the cvt. Also, I was told by a Nisan sales rep that this van will be discontinue- Is that true?

[@bigjohn75]

Hi Dave I have a question for you on the older NV 1500 cargo vans that did not come with any rear seats can you add a second row seat back into it?

[@davethemercedessprinterguy413]

big John, Thanks fir contacting me. Nissan never made any factory resr seats for cargo vans, but you could add a seat or a pair of captain chairs. Contact a van conversion company about doing an install or Google conversion van seats to find a source to by them for a DYI install.

Not if you read KBB Reviews: I'm a service tech, I use my van for work. I have had various service vans over the past decade. If you or your company needs a compact service van, get the Ford Transit Connect or the Ram Promaster City. The Transit Connect is the best. If you need something larger, get a Ford or GM. I have heard good and bad about the M-B's, but their higher cost may be limiting. Now on the NV200. My latest is a 2021 SV, previously had a 2018 SV and a 2013 S. The '18 was totaled with 40k miles in 6 months. The 2013 was from a tech that quit and it was given to me beginning of 2020. It had 200k miles. The driver's door would not stay closed (Nissan dealer could not find any problems). I told my company to get something a little safer. So I end up with this 2021 a month ago... The good - it has Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and SiriusXM. The bad - everything else. It has a tachometer. Why?!?! Not needed as it has a CVT and the engine will not rev above 5k with a 6.5K redline. Anyway, anything above 3k RPM does not accelerate the van any more quickly, just adds about 10 more decibels to the already loud engine noise. Small fuel tank, and a small (3/4"), hardly legible digital fuel "gauge". The steering feels like the wheel is connected by a rubber hose. Braking is mediocre when empty, frightening when there is any kind of load in the back. Affected by wind gusts more than a sailing yacht. Fuel economy is good, 25MPG combined. Had a V6 mid-roof, mid-length Transit 250 with base V6 that got 23MPG combined. Oh, wait, that would make this NV200 just awful in terms of fuel mileage! Also, I have yet to figure out how Nissan designed so much torque steer into this vehicle! The CVT saps most of the torque out this engine. Acceleration is glacial, but the torque steer is amazing. I thought they dialed all of that out at the end of the 1980s! TLDR - Spend you money elsewhere. Do you really want a 21k delivery vehicle? Wait for Ford Maverick XL, I'm sure it is better than this. Or buy a used Ford or Ram compact van. It would not let me give it no stars, I had to give it one star if I would recommend this to a friend. I like my friends, I want them to stay that way. Come to think of it, I would not even recommend this to a person I disliked.

[@oceanwonders]

Hi, I drove this on a few occasions. It seemed to be enjoyable without much cargo, anyway. Maybe that's the key. Do you happen to know the diagonal measurement of the rear opening? Could I get a non-foam queen mattress in through there without forcing it? It's a car share van, I unfortunately don't have a lot of choice in what cars to pick.
