Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2014 Nissan NV2500 HD Cargo
1st generation Nissan NV full-size van (2012-2021), third model year; no major refresh for 2014.
Nissan positioned the NV Cargo as a work van with a more familiar truck-style front cabin than cab-forward rivals. The pitch centered on easy visibility, a front area that could double as a mobile office, and a cargo bay shaped for shelving, upfits, and bulky job-site materials. In NV2500 HD form, it was the heavier-duty middle of the range, aimed at contractors, service businesses, and delivery work that needed more payload and towing than the lighter NV1500.
The 2014 NV2500 HD Cargo remains a heavy-duty work van in S and SV trims, with standard-roof and high-roof versions. The utility-focused S has reinforced cargo-mounting points, wide-opening rear doors, and a fold-down passenger seat that doubles as a work surface. The more office-friendly SV adds a lockable console for files and a laptop, multiple power outlets, rear parking sensors, and keyless entry.
