All business, but especially small business, is all about the bottom line. For small operations that transport goods and services, the 2021 Nissan NV200 is the ledger-friendliest compact commercial van around. Not only does the NV200 cost less than its direct rivals, but it's also among the most fuel-efficient in its class, getting an EPA-estimated 25 mpg in combined city/highway driving.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2021 Nissan NV200 SV 4dr Minivan (2.0L 4cyl CVT) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.35 per gallon for regular unleaded in Virginia.

Avg. Compact Minivan
The NV200 has a short wheelbase and compact overall length, making it easily maneuverable in close quarters. This small van also offers generous front legroom, which taller drivers and passengers will appreciate. Those upsides come with compromises, however. The high fuel efficiency comes at the expense of acceleration and overall capability. Also, the NV200's cargo and payload capacities are lower than those of the rest of the field. These may be non-issues if you don't plan to haul heavy items or stuff the cargo area to capacity, but they're worth considering.
The NV200's interior materials also aren't up to the modest expectations for this class, and Nissan doesn't offer the advanced driving safety aids found on some other small cargo vans. The former isn't a big deal — these are work vans, after all — but the NV200 lacks some common safety aids. Still, business owners willing to sacrifice a little can save a lot with the 2021 Nissan NV200.
Which NV200 does Edmunds recommend?
Nissan only offers the NV200 in two trims, so it's a choice between bare-bones or something with a little more comfort. The SV only costs about $1,000 more than the base S, but it offers more cargo versatility (additional tie-downs and rear power outlet), safety (rear parking sensors), convenience (power mirrors) and even a splash of style (body-colored bumpers, chrome grille).
Nissan NV200 models

Nissan NV200 vs. the competition
2021 Nissan NV200
2021 Ford Transit Connect
Nissan NV200 vs. Ford Transit Connect
The NV200 costs less than the Ford Transit Connect, but that's about where its advantages end. The Transit Connect offers standard collision warning and automatic emergency braking and other optional safety features. Ford also offers more available configurations for the Transit Connect.
Nissan NV200 vs. Ram ProMaster City
Like the Ford Transit Connect, the Ram ProMaster City costs a bit more than the NV200, but it offers more cargo and payload capacity. The Nissan has the slimmest of edges in combined fuel economy, but it's rated better in the city, where both vans are likely to do most of their work. The ProMaster City also has superior payload and towing capabilities.
Nissan NV200 vs. Mercedes-Benz Metris
The Mercedes-Benz Metris costs more than the NV200, but in return it delivers more capability and refinement. These two aren't direct competitors since the Metris is not aiming for maximum value. If you're looking for a work van on a limited budget, the Nissan is the clear choice. But if you want or need more comfort, cargo room, and payload and towing capacity than the NV200 can provide, the Metris is a good option.
