Nissan NV200 1.5 dCi SE road test
Nissan introduced the NV200 to the European market as a concept at the Hanover Motor Show back in 2008 and the production model has set the tone for its future LCV line-up. The NV200 is a nimble package but it also looks good. Important for fleets who like their vehicles to have a bit of character.

The NV200 we had on test was powered with a 1.5dCi turbo diesel engine, developed by alliance partner Renault. With 86PS to play with, the NV200 is sprightly when unladen. Torque power is good too, 200Nm at 2,000rpm, this gives the van a good amount of power across the rev range. Ideal when the need is there to overtake slower traffic. The NV200’s power plant is mated to a five-speed gearbox. Shifts are smooth allowing for a pleasurable drive. Whether you are driving the NV200 on motorways or B-roads, the newcomer from Nissan feels at home on either type of road.

You will be pleased to know that the 1.5 dCi is Euro IV compliant, this results in the NV200 emitting 137g/km of CO2 emissions. A eco-friendly LCV – surely another tick! On the combined cycle Nissan claims that the NV200 will return 54mpg. The LCV has a braked capacity of 1100kg while the capacity for an unbraked trailer is 640kg, this is the same load weight in both the panel van and the combi version of the NV200. The Nissan NV200 1.5 dCi SE we had on test was priced from £12,590. Options fitted to our van included the Comfort Pack (Aircon) at £575 and metallic paint at £350. This took the price (excluding VAT) to our test van up to £13,515.
