“The windshield wiper handle is a bit annoying, most of the times I try to turn the radio on or off, I touch it by mistake so it starts wiping.”
2015 Nissan NV200: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2015 Nissan NV200 is mostly a carryover, with no redesign or broad equipment update. The main change is revised powertrain and automatic-transmission tuning for S and SV cargo vans, raising EPA fuel economy to 24 mpg city, 26 highway, and 25 combined.
About the 2015 Nissan NV200
1st generation (US NV200 Compact Cargo 2013-2021; NV200 Taxi 2014-2019), early production years.
Nissan positioned the NV200 as a compact, city-focused commercial vehicle that could do real work without the size penalty of a full-size van. The cargo version emphasized easy maneuvering, a low load floor, wide side and rear access, and built-in office-style storage for small businesses. The Taxi used the same small-footprint platform for dense-city passenger service. Its main advantage versus larger vans was simple: easier parking, lower running costs, and smart use of a small footprint.
The S is the basic city work van, with dual sliding doors, 122.7 cubic feet of cargo space, and a fold-down passenger seat that doubles as a work surface. The SV adds practical everyday equipment such as heated mirrors, keyless entry, cruise control, and extra cargo tie-downs. The separate Taxi model is built around passenger access, with dual sliding doors, an entry step, navigation, an intercom, and seating for four passengers.

(80 reviews)
“A lot of lumber and building material comes in 8 ft. lengths...the cargo area should be about 2 ft. longer to accommodate these, especially items such as drywall that should be laid flat.”
“Good van for the price but does need more power, doesn't do to well in the mountains. It's also not very good on gas but then again it is a van and usually loaded heavy. Looks great, I'll give it a 7 out of 10.”
