The Nissan NV200 goes head-to-head with the likes of the Citroën Berlingo, Volkswagen Caddy and Ford Transit Connect. The NV200 will sport Renault’s 1.5 dCi diesel powerplant. Nissan LCV Sales Director, Tony Lewis said the NV200 was a truly sector-breaking van that focused on cargo space, value and comfort. He said: “From the B pillar forwards it’s a car and after that it’s a van.”

The Nissan NV200 van will be available, with E and SE grades. E features ABS brakes as standard, along with electronic brake distribution, driver airbag, one-third bulkhead, manual windows and immobiliser. SE adds electric windows and mirrors, keyless entry, a full bulkhead and driver’s seat height adjustment.

The Nissan NV200’s real strength comes in its size. Although it looks like a standard small van, it offers a load volume of 4.2 cubic metres – more than in the old Citroën Dispatch – and has a tight turning circle for urban manoeuvring but will carry two Euro Pallets. Load length is 2,040mm while height is 1,358mm. Gross vehicle weight, meanwhile, is 2,000kg, while payload is a respectable 752kg.

The Renault engine hardly needs any introduction as it graces most of the French maker’s cars and vans.

The Nissan NV200 truly breaks all the old segment rules – it’s a small van that has big van capabilities. The driver’s seat is perched up high, which means that for multi-drop users, getting in and out is very easy. It gives excellent views of the road ahead and makes the NV200 feel bigger than it really is. The passenger seat folds down to allow extra cargo space and there’s also a little desk on the back, which should prove useful now that white van man is expected to carry out all sorts of other tasks.
