Which NV Cargo does Edmunds recommend?
Edmunds' Expert Review
Overall rating
The 2019 Nissan NV Cargo is exactly what some van buyers are looking for: a big box on wheels. Based on the Nissan Titan, the body-on-frame NV Cargo van has been soldiering on for seven years in the same form, offering big cargo capacity, robust towing capability and multiple roof configurations, all with the option for either a V6 or a V8 under the hood.
Unfortunately, many vans have passed the Nissan NV Cargo by when it comes to comfort, tech and available options — including engines. Notably, the Ford Transit and the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter offer fuel-efficient diesel powertrains. They also provide more refined interiors, with better infotainment interfaces and additional safety tech that you just can't get in the NV Cargo.
The 2019 Nissan NV Cargo is still appealing, especially if you're looking for high payload and towing capacities. Models with the V6 can tow as much as 6,900 pounds, while V8-powered NV Cargos can pull up to 9,400 pounds. Those are heavy-duty pickup truck numbers and much more than the Transit and the Sprinter can muster. So if pulling the most cargo in your van is a top priority, take a closer look at the Nissan NV Cargo. But do so with the knowledge that you'll be sacrificing a bit of modern sophistication.
2019 Nissan NV Cargo models
The 2019 Nissan NV Cargo is a full-size van that is available in three models (1500, 2500 and 3500) with increasing levels of hauling and towing capabilities. Within these models are three trim levels: S, SV and SL. The 1500 model comes only with a standard roof and a 4.0-liter V6 engine (261 horsepower, 281 lb-ft of torque) paired with a five-speed automatic transmission that drives the rear wheels. The 2500 model comes standard with the same V6, but you can also get it with a high-roof configuration. Also optional on the 2500 is a 5.6-liter V8 (375 hp, 387 lb-ft) mated to a seven-speed transmission. The 3500 can be had with either roof but comes only with the V8.
Standard feature highlights for the 1500 S trim include 17-inch steel wheels, power windows and door locks, air conditioning, remote keyless entry, a tilt-only steering wheel, a rearview camera, a 7-inch color display, Bluetooth, a USB port and a two-speaker stereo. The 2500 S version has additional cargo lights and storage bins under the driver's seat and in the rear door.
Stepping up to the 1500 SV adds power-adjustable mirrors, rear parking sensors, cruise control, a cargo mat, trim panels on the cargo walls, and a four-speaker stereo with satellite radio and steering wheel controls. The 2500 SV comes with a center console, cupholders and additional 12-volt power outlets. The top SL trim is available starting with the 2500 model and includes heated mirrors, chrome exterior trim, chrome wheels, a security system, and an eight-way power driver's seat.
Opting for the V8 in the SV and SL trim levels adds extendable tow mirrors, two front tow hooks, a prewired Class IV receiver hitch, and a trailer brake controller.
Bundled add-ons include the Rear Door Glass package (rear windows with privacy glass and defrosters and a rearview mirror), the Navigation package (navigation, a 5.8-inch touchscreen, NissanConnect mobile apps, voice recognition and satellite radio), and the Vinyl Seat package.

Safety
Our experts’ favorite NV Cargo safety features:
- NissanConnect
- Automatically calls for help in the event of a collision. Roadside assistance is also just a button push away.
- Rearview Camera
- Shows you what's behind the NV Cargo before you move and is useful because the NV has no standard rear windows.
- Rear Sonar
- Starts beeping if you're getting close to an object while reversing, and the beeping gets more frequent as you get closer.
Nissan NV Cargo vs. the competition
Nissan NV Cargo vs. Ford Transit Van
While it doesn't have the big towing capacity that the NV Cargo does, the Ford Transit is an excellent choice for a cargo van. It's available in several configurations and has a more modern infotainment system (Ford's Sync 3, which is one of our favorites). The Transit isn't based on a truck chassis either, so you'll be getting a smoother ride on the highway.
Nissan NV Cargo vs. Chevrolet Express Cargo
Much like the NV Cargo, the Chevrolet Express Cargo is a robust, truck-like rig with lots of hauling and towing capability. And like the NV, the Express has been around for quite some time. Chevy has also added available lane departure warning and forward collision warning as options recently. But the NV Cargo wins here when it comes to interior space since the Chevy doesn't offer a high-roof option at all.
Nissan NV Cargo vs. Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
Unless maximum towing capacity is your only concern, the Sprinter wins in any head-to-head battle with the NV Cargo. It's more modern, better equipped, more efficient, and better to drive. Sure, the NV Cargo has lots of interior space, but if you go for the biggest version of the Sprinter, it offers over 100 cubic feet of cargo space more than the Nissan. It's more expensive, sure, but the Sprinter is worth the extra cash.

Should I lease or buy a 2019 Nissan NV Cargo?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
