2021 Nissan NV200
2021 Nissan NV200 Review
- Four-cylinder engine achieves high fuel economy
- Small size makes for easy maneuvering
- Low load floor helps with cargo loading
- Long stopping distances in panic-braking situations
- Interior materials are plain and feel low-quality
- Less power and cargo space than rivals
- Cruise control now standard on base S trim
- Rear parking sensors added to SV models
- Part of the first NV200 generation introduced for 2013
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.
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.

Nissan NV200 vs. the competition
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.

Should I lease or buy a 2021 Nissan NV200?
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.
