If you’ve been shopping the compact cargo segment and aren’t happy with the options, like the Ford Transit Connect or the Mercedes-Benz Metris, allow us to introduce you to the 2018 Nissan NV200 S. According to Motor Trend, this model is ideal for small business owners for its highly versatile interior and spacious cargo area.
Â
If you aren’t familiar with this platform, the NV200 is a compact commercial vehicle slotted below the larger Nissan NV. With two grade levels to choose from (S and SV), you can select the trim that best suits your needs for comfort and features.
Â
As the base level, the S trim is nicely equipped with 15-inch steel wheels with covers and a rearview camera on the exterior. Inside, the utilitarian cabin boasts practical cloth upholstery, as well as Bluetooth connectivity and a 5.0-inch touchscreen. Premium sound is conducted from the two-speaker audio system, which also sports a USB port. In the rear haulage area, you can carry up to 122.7 cubic feet of cargo with 1,480 lbs of payload.
Â
Under the hood, the NV200 runs on an efficient 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which produces a reliable 131 horsepower and 139 lb-ft of torque. It comes paired to a continuously variable transmission, which nets an EPA fuel economy rating of 24 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.Â
