2014 Nissan Nv in Selden, NY - $12,995

The 2012 Nissan NV (Nissan Van) marks Nissan's first entry into the commercial vehicle market in the United States. The Nissan NV is available in three models, NV1500, NV2500 HD and NV3500 HD, and in two roof configurations - Standard Roof and High Roof. The NV is the first commercial van to offer rugged body-on-frame construction combined with a High Roof, offering most users the ability to walk, stand and work in the cargo area.

The NV's rugged, masculine design combines a full-length hood with access to the engine for service and maintenance, along with signature Nissan styling cues such as large headlights and vertical grille. The broad body sides project a serious commercial vehicle appearance and provide ample room for company logos and advertising messages. The tall, wide doors offer easy access to the cargo area.

The NV provides exceptional utility, thanks to a long, wide cargo floor, square-top wheel well housings and nearly vertical sidewalls. Along with maximizing cargo space, the sidewalls accommodate aftermarket storage systems without excessive modification. The cargo area also features a full-length inner panel to prevent cargo from denting the vehicle's outer skin (SV models).

Major attributes of the new Nissan NV includes: body-on-frame construction, a choice of Standard Roof or High Roof body, strong masculine styling with iconic Nissan signature front end design, long hood for easy engine compartment access and serviceability, large side panels for advertising or business signage, large, wide-opening front and rear doors, sliding passenger-side door, and integrated roof attachment points for durable installation of roof mounted ladder and utility racks.

Additionally, Standard Roof models fit in most garages and fast food/bank drive-through lanes and car washes, while High Roof models provide easy cargo area ingress and egress, comfortable walk-through and stand up capability

Assembled by Nissan North America Manufacturing's Canton, Mississippi Plant, the rear-drive Nissan NV is powered by a choice of two powerful yet fuel-efficient engines - a VQ40DE 4.0L V6 and VK56DE 5.6L V8. Both are mated to a standard five-speed automatic transmission.

Inside the cab is a roomy comfortable interior with wide, supportive seating and an expansive instrument panel. The passenger seat includes a segment-exclusive fold-down feature, providing a convenient worktable. An available lockable center console offers innovative storage compartments and space to hold binders, hanging file folders and a laptop computer. Other convenient storage spaces include a wide overhead console (available with High Roof models), underseat storage drawers (NV2500 HD and NV3500 HD models) and large door pockets.

Along with being conceived as a "mobile office," the Nissan NV is designed to function as a "mobile workshop" - thanks to its simple, flexible cargo area layout. Along with offering wide door openings, the NV offers room between the wheelhouses to accommodate standard plywood or drywall sheets or pallets. There are also a range of cargo area tie-down rings and ample cargo area lighting.

The NV also offers multiple reinforced integrated attachment points for installation of cargo customization equipment - again requiring no sheet metal drilling. In addition, the NV's nearly vertical sidewalls maximize the usable cargo space, accommodating common aftermarket storage systems, as well as a bulkhead behind the driver.
