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.

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

The 2021 Nissan NV200 is a two-passenger compact commercial cargo van offered in S and SV trims. Both come with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (131 horsepower and 139 lb-ft torque), a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive.

    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.

    Compare Nissan NV200 & Ram ProMaster City features

    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.
