Extra space built for city driving.
There is no replacement for the van when it comes to maximizing your hauling capability. You can go out and buy the biggest van you can find, which may be great for more cargo space, but it's not so great for maneuverability. The 2020 Nissan NV200 is the best of both worlds, with a great cargo capacity and a relatively small length and width. That means that you can get the NV200 into narrow spots that larger van owners would never be able to reach. While we currently do not have many 2020 Nissan NV200s on our lots, we look forward to selling more in the future. If you love the 2020 model, you should also consider other model years of the Nissan NV200 with similar features.

5 reasons to buy the 2020 Nissan NV 200
1. Hauling capability
The 2020 Nissan NV200 is made to haul. It has a total of 122.7 cu-ft of space with both seats in place, and the front passenger seat even folds for additional room for long objects. The combination of side sliding doors, 40/60-split swing-out rear cargo doors, and a low-load height make hauling a breeze. Max cargo load comes in at an estimated 1,480 pounds, so the 2020 NV200 is up to any delivery or jobsite challenge.
2. Impressive interior
Sure, the NV200 is a work van, but that doesn't make it lacking in features and options. You'll get an impressive seven-inch touchscreen with NissanConnect® infotainment system and Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. That means that you can easily follow your smartphone's navigation or queue up some tunes for the drive.
3. Upgraded trim available
While the base S trim is well equipped, the upgraded SV adds a bunch of features to make your drive more comfortable. The SV delivers a more attractive body-colored rear bumper and matching mirrors, plus a chrome grille. Inside it ups the ante with heated power mirrors, remote door locks, cruise control, an additional rear 12-volt power outlet, and six floor-mounted tie-down rings.
4. Fuel-sipping performance
The road to the next delivery or job site might be long. Thankfully, the naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine puts out a respectable 131 horsepower and 139 lb-ft of torque. With a CVT automatic transmission helping deliver power to the front wheels, the NV200 gets EPA-rated at 24/26 mpg city/highway.
5. City maneuverability
A big van is great for maximizing the amount you can carry. However, it's not always ideal for navigating city traffic and tight parking spaces. The 2020 NV200 is 186.3 inches long and only 68.1 inches wide. That means it can maneuver into spaces that larger vans can't begin to reach.
