2020 Nissan NV200: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2020 Nissan NV200 gets a light equipment update rather than a redesign. The headline change is a standard 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on every trim.
About the 2020 Nissan NV200
1st generation (2013-2021), late-cycle update year
Nissan positions the NV200 as a right-sized work van for city businesses that need useful cargo space without the bulk of a full-size van. The core appeal is easy maneuvering, low running costs, and simple loading: dual sliding side doors, a low cargo floor, and a compact exterior wrapped around a surprisingly useful cargo area. It is aimed at delivery, service, and fleet work where space efficiency matters more than towing or luxury.
The S is the straightforward work-van trim, with dual sliding doors, split rear cargo doors, a fold-down passenger seat, and 122.7 cubic feet of cargo room. The SV adds day-to-day conveniences such as heated power mirrors, remote keyless entry, cruise control, and extra driver-seat support. Both use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, an automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive.

What owners are saying about the 2020 Nissan NV200.
3.9
2020 Nissan NV200
(25 reviews)
“The Nissan NV 200 is extremely fuel efficient at up to 25 mpg. The 4 cylinder engine is not speedy off the line, but is powerful enough to hold its' own when fully loaded with cargo, and handles and rides very well when loaded too. Easy to drive, very comfortable seating for driver and passenger and offers very good visibility.”
“Too slow, too low, little tire choices, and basic features. Easy to handle, parks anywhere, good mileage, easy all-around access.”
