The familiar NV200 cargo-van trims are S and SV. The S is the entry work van, built around cargo access and mobile-office storage. The SV is the everyday upgrade, adding parking help, easier access, more tie-down flexibility, and added driver comfort. The base Commercial model is a separate taxi branch rather than a more luxurious cargo van. It replaces the two-seat, cargo-first layout with room for four passengers and luggage, plus equipment designed for frequent curbside stops.
The Work Truck trim level, represented by the S, is the straightforward cargo van focused on utility, mobile-office storage, and upfit-ready work duty.
Best for: Delivery, service, and fleet users who want a simple compact work van.
Highlights
The Base Upgrade trim level, represented by the SV, keeps the compact work-van layout but adds practical features that make frequent stops and long workdays easier.
Best for: Drivers who regularly park, load, and unload in tight urban spaces.
Highlights
Adds rear parking sensors, keyless entry, heated power mirrors, six floor-mounted cargo tie-down rings, and a driver’s armrest with manual lower-back adjustment over the S.
0 in stockThe Commercial trim level, represented by the base model, is the purpose-built NV200 city taxi with passenger space and curbside-service equipment instead of a cargo-first interior.
Best for: Taxi operators and urban passenger-service businesses.
Highlights
Branches away from the SV cargo van by replacing its two-seat, cargo-first layout with a four-passenger taxi cabin, luggage room, easier passenger entry, and taxi-specific communication and exit-warning equipment.

The cargo van used a simple S and SV lineup from 2013 through 2021. A separate purpose-built Taxi model was sold from 2014 through 2019 and was not just an S or SV with rear seats.
The S is the simpler work trim. The SV keeps the same basic van but adds daily-use equipment such as rear parking sensors, remote keyless entry, power heated mirrors, extra floor tie-downs, and added driver-seat support on later models.
The S suits businesses that mainly need a compact, straightforward cargo van. In later years it combines the basic work layout with smartphone integration, cruise control, a fold-down passenger-seat work surface, and cargo tie-downs.
The SV suits drivers who make frequent stops or spend long days in the van. In later years it adds parking help, keyless entry, heated power mirrors, extra tie-down points, and more driver-seat support without changing the van’s basic size.
The Taxi is a passenger-focused commercial cab, not a cargo trim. It seats four passengers and has luggage room, a fixed entry step, grab handles, a passenger-exit warning light, and a navigation and intercom system.
The S is the straightforward fleet choice. It focuses on cargo access, work-surface and storage features, roof-rack mounting points, and upfit readiness rather than the SV’s added parking, mirror, and comfort equipment.
The SV is the more convenient fit. On later models, rear parking sensors, remote keyless entry, and power mirrors reduce some of the hassle of repeated stops and maneuvering in confined loading areas.
No. The S and SV share the same 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, continuously variable automatic transmission, and front-wheel-drive layout. Moving to the SV adds convenience and comfort equipment, not more power.
Both S and SV have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on 2020-2021 models through a 7-inch touchscreen. Earlier vans differ: 2018-2019 models use a 5-inch color display with Bluetooth and USB but lack that smartphone integration.
On 2020-2021 vans, both trims have six wall-mounted cargo tie-down rings. The SV also has six floor-mounted rings, giving businesses more ways to secure tools, boxes, or other loads.
On later S models, the front passenger seat folds down to form a work surface. The center console also has storage shaped for hanging files and a laptop, making paperwork easier between jobs.
On later models, the SV adds a driver’s armrest with manual lower-back adjustment, power heated side mirrors with a small wide-angle section, remote keyless entry, and two 12-volt power outlets.
