Nissan has
announced that the all-new Nissan NV200 Vanette, a
next-generation light duty compact van. |
|
|
Ideally suited for
commercial, daily use and leisure activities, the NV200 Vanette is
designed to revolutionise the traditional concept of light commercial
vehicles in Japan. Along with distinctive styling, advanced
functionality and class-leading fuel efficiency, it combines a cavernous
cargo space with a compact overall vehicle size. Along with two-seat
and five-seat versions, a new seven-passenger compact segment wagon
version – capable of being utilised for both commercial and private use
– has been added to the lineup. |
Following its debut
in Japan, the NV200 Vanette will be launched in other markets around the
world. Nissan will continue to sell the current versions of the diesel,
4WD and truck models.
A
Dynamic, Distinctively Different Exterior Design
Unlike most current commercial vehicles, the new NV200 Vanette offers
styling that is both functional and attractive. The exterior design
dynamically blends a large, square cargo area with a uniquely sporty
front end. Combining sharpness and elegance, the NV200 Vanette’s low,
wedge-shaped waistline contributes to superior driver visibility, while
also providing a truly unique appearance that is instantly recognisable
as something new and fresh in the category.
The front-end is
widely rounded with sharp and distinctive design. In the rear, the high
roofline and low, flat cargo floor help to create class-leading cargo
capacity. The NV200 Vanette can be configured as a two-seater with one
row of seats to create an even larger cargo area. The cargo area of the
two-seater models is large enough to accommodate ‘’metre module
materials’’ (2,000 x 100 x 44 mm) that are used for construction.
Moreover, using the space under the front passenger's seat makes it
possible to carry items up to three metres in length.
In addition to the
two-seater version, the NV200 Vanette is also offered in a five-seater
version with two rows of seats, and the new seven-seater wagon, which is
capable of being used for both commercial and private purposes. The
second- and third-row seats in the wagon fold up to create a large cargo
space suitable for multipurpose use.
Driving
Performance That Is Both Enjoyable and Eco-friendly
The new NV200 Vanette’s standard HR16DE engine incorporates variable
valve timing which, combined with an expanded lock-up operation range of
the four-speed automatic transmission, enables the NV200 Vanette to
deliver best-in-class fuel economy of 14.0 km/litre.
Safety
Technologies and Environmental Features
Among the long list of available safety and security features are: Rear
View Monitor (factory-installed option); Optimum lighting with
multi-reflector halogen headlights (with manual leveliser); Electronic
Brake-force Distribution (EBD) + Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) + Brake
Assist; high-strength Zone Body construction; compliance with side
impact safety standards; a body designed to mitigate pedestrian
injuries; SRS air bag system for the driver; SRS air bag system for the
front passenger (standard on 16S; factory-installed option on DX/GX);
and front seat belts with pretensioners and load limiters.
The NV200 Vanette
is over 95% recoverable (as calculated according to the guideline
adopted by Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, Inc. in 1998
concerning the definition and calculation method of the recoverability
rate: rate of new cars) and there has been a reduction in the use of
interior volatile organic compounds (VOC).
