2014 Nissan NV200: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for 2014 is the arrival of the factory-built NV200 Taxi for New York City service. The S and SV cargo vans otherwise carry over with no major updates.
About the 2014 Nissan NV200
1st generation NV200; second U.S. model year for Compact Cargo and first U.S. year for the factory NV200 Taxi.
Nissan positions the NV200 as a right-size urban work van: easier to park and maneuver than a full-size van, but still able to carry a pallet, tools, paperwork, or — in taxi form — passengers and luggage. The cargo model centers on low loading height, dual sliding doors, and mobile-office practicality. The taxi applies that same compact, efficient platform to city passenger duty with easier entry, better visibility, and purpose-built cab features.
The S remains the straightforward city work van, with dual sliding doors, space for a standard pallet, and a center console designed for files and a laptop. The SV adds everyday conveniences such as heated power mirrors, remote keyless entry, cruise control, and extra cargo tie-down points. The new NV200 Taxi turns the compact van into a purpose-built cab with rear seating, a partition and intercom, rear climate controls, passenger charging ports, and a panoramic roof panel.

Styling

Tech

What owners are saying about the 2014 Nissan NV200.

2014 Nissan NV200
(17 reviews)
“Only have had unit for 4 months and seats are already fuzzing up on the material. Seems to be very cheap covering. Not impressed with that so far. Have to replace vehicles every 2.5 years. Hate to know what it will look like by then.”
“I have been very satisfied with the choice of Nissan Cargo Van NV200 - reflected in the ratings. Thoughtful design is appreciated, along with good hauling and storage. Downsides: small tires, low gas mileage, with gas mileage being the most worrisome.”
