Nissan NV250 (2019 – 2021) Review

Nissan NV250 (2019 – 2021) At A Glance

+Will carry payloads weighing up to 800kg, advertsied economy exceeds 60mpg, five-year-warranty supplied as standard.

-Based on the ageing Renault Kangoo van.

The NV250 is based on the Renault Kangoo panel van, but promises better value with Nissan's five-year/100,000 mile warranty supplied as standard. 

Like its French stablemate, the NV250 is available in L1 and L2 load lengths and is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-litre turbodiesel engine. Payloads range from 650kg - 800kg, which puts the NV250 behind the 1000kg maximum payload of the Transit Connect.

Load lengths for the panel van span from 2.1 - 2.9 metres, with the largest versions providing 4.6 cubic metres of load space. Unlike the NV200, the NV250 will allow more customisation options for racking and panelling. Combi versions can also be modified for wheelchair accessibility. 

The NV250 panel van is powered by 1.5-litre turbodiesel engine, with 80PS, 95PS or 115PS outputs and can be configured with two or three front seats. The crew cab (limited to L2 bodystyles) provides five seats and is available with 95PS or 115PS. Nissan will not offer an electric powertrain, which means the NV250 is diesel-only.

Depending on bodystyle and engine output, the NV250 will return an official 56mpg - 64mpg. It will also meet the latest Euro6D emission standards and be exempt from urban pollution charges like the London ULEZ. Buyers will also get the option of Extended Grip, which adds all-season tyres and enhanced traction control that will allow the front-wheel drive van cope with wintery roads.

Nissan launches NV250

Nissan has unveiled the latest addition to its Light Commercial Vehicle line-up: the new NV250 compact van. Featuring enhanced safety and reliability thanks to on-board Nissan Intelligent Mobility technologies and a five year/100,000 miles warranty.

Buyers benefit from multiple engine and interior configurations, two body lengths and a comprehensive range of conversions. The van is also available with Panel, Crew and Combi finishes for optimum practicality and functionality.

Additional key features include:

  • 800kg payload and two body lengths, enhancing cargo-carrying capabilities for seamless deliveries
  • Euro6D-Temp compliant for reduced CO2 emissions and optimised fuel efficiency translating into lower overall running costs
  • Improved versatility thanks to a wide range of conversions. Conversions include wood panelling in the cargo area, wheelchair access through the rear door, and optional extras such as on-board refrigeration units
  • Numerous on-board Nissan Intelligent Mobility technologies, including Hill Start Assist and Extended Grip
  • Nissan's industry-leading five-year warranty / 160,000 km warranty comes as standard

The panel version is offered in two body lengths (L1 / L2) and comes with several seating configurations, while the single-length crew version (L2) comes with a maximum of 4 seats and multi-positional bulkhead for a versatile cargo space. Together, these features mean the NV250 can handle everything from quick urban deliveries to transporting larger materials for construction sites.

The Combi passenger variant comes in the single-length L1 version with a seating capacity of five. Greater interior comfort and ample luggage room makes it the ideal option for family adventures or transporting equipment for outdoor sports.

Developed through the shared expertise of the Alliance, the NV250 incorporates a proven and efficient 1.5-litre diesel engine, with three different powertrain options available.
