The Nissan NV for sale has been in production since 2011. It is Nissan's utility van or people mover model. In South Africa, the NV has been used more as a minivan, and particularly the NV200 that was released in 2015 in South Africa made its mark. In a segment where affordable minivans are not scarce, the Nissan NV for sale had to bring more than its closest rival the VW Caddy to catch the consumer's interest.
Although the Nissan NV200 for sale is a younger relative of the initial utility van, the NV200 2015 exterior design is handsome and appealing. A minivan can only be designed to look that much aerodynamic; it is still a box on wheels, but that is not the intention in this class. The NV200 has an angular nose and prominent badge with angular front lights. The body colours available combined with 14-inch alloy wheels and stylish fog lamps all add up to a classier look.
The NV200 has a short wheelbase for its class, which does not impact interior or cargo space but might help with manoeuvring city streets and school runs. The seven-seater is spacious, to say the least. Folding down the rear seats and you can load bulky furniture or a lot of luggage. The cargo area is flat due to the low floor and bumper, which eases loading. The middle row seats have a 60:40 split to fold down for even more space, with a maximum payload of 652kg, the NV200 is living up to the expectation.
The used Nissan NV200 for sale has been updated and designed for a family-friendly audience. The driving position is excellent and visibility very good. The steering wheel is not only adjustable but offers controls to audio, Bluetooth, and other functionalities at your fingertips. Cup-holders have been placed cleverly in front of air vents – keeping your drinks cool as you drive.
The passenger cabin is roomy and user-friendly. Loading a family for a road trip or the local soccer team for a game, it is tough enough to withstand wear and tear but still just a cut above to make it feel elegant.
The Nissan NV200 for sale has its roots in utility design, and much thought has been given to the comfort of the driver. The drive is quite smooth, and control is direct and agile matching the more high-end MPV contenders. In South Africa you can get the 1,6litre engine in petrol or the 1,5litre turbo diesel, both offering sufficient power. The diesel seems to be the more popular of the two producing 66kW and 200Nm of torque and the petrol and fuel consumption of combined 7litres per 100km. It cruises at ease at 120km/h and overtakes with confidence. The used Nissan NV for sale seems to be a value-for-money option in the MPV market.
