The Nissan NV (Nissan Van) is the first full-size van built by the Japaneseautomaker for the United States and Canada, and sold by Nissan.^[2] Until the introduction of the Nissan NV, Mexico was the only country in North America selling a full-size Nissan Van, as the Nissan Urvan was sold there. There was also a small pickup truck sold in Thailand as the 'Nissan NV', this was based on the AD Wagon (Y10), a relative of the Nissan Sunny.

Development[edit]

The NV uses the same F-Alpha platform as does the Nissan Titan full-size pickup, but due to the need for a flat loading floor it is highly modified and they end up sharing mainly powertrain pieces and some appearance aspects. The NV is also only available with rear-wheel drive, coupled to a five-speed automatic transmission.^[3] The NV is not targeted directly at the (mainly fleet) buyers of the Ford E-Series and Chevrolet Express, but rather at private buyers including contractors and small business owners that are looking for a vehicle that is both capable and comfortable.^[4] The 4.0-litre V6 engine outputs 261 hp and 281 lb-ft of torque, while the 5.6-litre V8 engine outputs 375 hp and 387 lb-ft of torque.^[5] The V8-engined versions are also electronically limited to a top speed of 100 mph (161 km/h).^[3]

In 2020, Nissan reevaluated its commercial van business in North America, and decided to replace it with a 'Business Advantage' program for its other vehicles. Production of the NV full-size vans is scheduled to end in the middle of 2021, with sales continuing through the end of the year.^[7]
