Frumpy really doesn\u2019t even begin to describe the initial impression when we met the \u2018face\u2019 of Nissan\u2019s latest addition to the bite-size, commercial van market. The 2014 Nissan NV200 Cargo SV makes the old\u00a0Fiat 600 Multipla look downright svelte. Alongside Ford\u2019s newly revamped Transit Connect, and the eventual Dodge ProMaster City, these tiny vans plan on filling a void in a sliver of the market that doesn\u2019t necessarily need the size of a Dodge\/Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, but wants something that offers slightly better fuel economy and more car-like qualities.<\/p>\n

Maybe \u201ccar-like\u201d better describes the 2014 Nissan NV200 Cargo SV? \u00a0The “Vanette”, as its known in several markets outside of the United States, really feels like a car that happens to have a van body attached to it.With running gear that wouldn\u2019t be out of place in a small sedan, the 2.0L inline 4-cylinder, and \u201cXtronic\u201d Continuously-Variable-Transmission (CVT) perform as one might expect. Which is one way of saying that you aren\u2019t going to get anywhere with any real pace, but it\u2019s certainly adequate for moving lighter loads around. (Nissan claims up to 1,500lbs).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
