Which NV Passenger does Edmunds recommend?
Edmunds' Expert Review
Overall rating
The 2019 Nissan NV Passenger van, with its heavy-duty body-on-frame construction and available V8 power, is a bit of a throwback when it comes to full-size vans. Yet it offers a strong mix of rugged practicality, good road manners and modern technology to satisfy a wide variety of needs.
On the downside, the NV lacks a high-roof option, which makes it possible to stand up in the van. Also, there's no extended-wheelbase version capable of carrying up to 15 passengers. For either of these qualities, you'll need to look at a rival van such as the Ford Transit or the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. But the NV's core attributes are still quite solid, and it should absolutely be considered if you're in the market for a large van.
2019 Nissan NV Passenger models
The 2019 Nissan NV Passenger is a full-size van with seating for up to 12 passengers. It is offered in three trim levels — S, SV and SL — with a choice of two engines. The S and the SV use a 4.0-liter V6 (261 horsepower, 281 lb-ft of torque) paired with a five-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. Standard on the SL is a 5.6-liter V8 (375 hp, 387 lb-ft) that is mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission.
The base S trim is outfitted with three rows of configurable bench seats, front and rear air conditioning, power windows and door locks, remote keyless entry, cruise control, a tilt-only steering wheel, a rearview camera, a 7-inch display, Bluetooth, a USB port, and a four-speaker stereo with a CD player.
The SV adds some chrome exterior accents, a security system, rear parking sensors, an eight-way power driver's seat, a center console, additional 12-volt power outlets, overhead lighting for the passenger rows, audio controls on the steering wheel, and an upgraded six-speaker stereo.
The top-of-the-line SL trim is only available with the V8 engine. It adds foglights, front parking sensors, leather upholstery for all rows, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control for the front seats, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Oddly, the SL reverts to a smaller 5.8-inch touchscreen, but it does come with a navigation system, NissanConnect mobile apps and satellite radio. The outside mirrors are heated and extendable for towing, and there's the addition of a Class IV receiver hitch, front tow hooks, pre-wiring for a seven-pin connector, and a brake controller.
Just one option is available, the Navigation package, which upgrades the SV with the SL's navigation system, a 5.8-inch display, NissanConnect and satellite radio.

Nissan NV Passenger vs. the competition
Nissan NV Passenger vs. Ford Transit Passenger Van
The Transit Wagon has a few advantages over the NV, and some of them could easily sway buyers looking to make the most of their van for passenger transport. For example, the Transit can be configured to hold anywhere between five and 15 passengers and can be had with an extended wheelbase and even a high roof.
Nissan NV Passenger vs. Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
Decidedly more upscale than the more utilitarian Nissan NV, the Sprinter is still quite capable and can transport up to 15 passengers. There are two wheelbase options and a standard high roof as well as an efficient diesel engine and optional four-wheel drive. But the base price of a Sprinter is nearly equal to the maximum price for a V8-equipped NV.
Nissan NV Passenger vs. Chevrolet Suburban
If you don't need to carry more than seven passengers at a time and don't want to sacrifice drivability and maneuverability to do it, the Chevrolet Suburban could be a good alternative. Though considerably more expensive (especially when well-equipped) than a fully loaded NV, the Suburban can do double-duty as a daily driver and a passenger shuttle.

Should I lease or buy a 2019 Nissan NV Passenger?
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.
