Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2014 Nissan NV1500 Cargo
1st generation North American Nissan NV full-size van (2012-2021), early-cycle year with no major refresh.
Nissan marketed the NV Cargo as a full-size business van built to fit the job: tough, roomy, and easier to work out of than older van layouts. Its truck-style front section gives better legroom and outward visibility, while the flat cargo walls, built-in mounting points, and wide side and rear openings make shelving and upfits easier. In NV1500 form, it is the lighter-duty version aimed at service fleets, trades, and deliveries that need space and flexibility more than maximum heavy-duty capacity.
The S is the basic job-site van, with built-in mounting points for shelving and racks, six cargo tie-down rings, and pre-wiring for work equipment. The SV keeps the same cargo-hauling foundation but adds everyday conveniences such as power accessories, cruise control, rear parking sensors, and cargo-area wall panels.
