Used 2020 Nissan NV Cargo Van Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 Nissan NV Cargo is a full-size van that is available in three models (NV1500, NV2500 HD and NV3500 HD) 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 to a five-speed automatic transmission. 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 power windows and door locks, air conditioning, a tilt-only steering wheel, a rearview camera, a 7-inch 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, 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 a power driver's seat. The 3500's features mirror those on the NV2500.

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 a Rear Door Glass package (rear windows with privacy glass and defrosters and a rearview mirror), a Navigation package (navigation, a 5.8-inch touchscreen, NissanConnect mobile apps, voice recognition and satellite radio), and a Vinyl Seat package.

Which NV Cargo trim does Edmunds recommend?

The needs of cargo van buyers vary wildly, so it's difficult to recommend a specific variant. The standard S trim is pretty spartan, so we suggest stepping up to the 2500 SV. It offers a good number of features such as cruise control and parking sensors, and it's available with either the V6 or V8 engine.
