Nissan challenges the domestic automakers' long-standing hold on the commercial market with the NV, which is designed to be just as adaptable to hauling needs as the Big Three's models. And just like the domestic manufacturers, Nissan offers a passenger version.
What's New for 2015
For 2015, the NV gains the latest NissanConnect navigation system as an option.
Choosing Your Nissan NV3500 HD Passenger
The NV3500 Passenger van comes only as a standard roof model across three trim levels. Standard on the S and SV is a 4-liter 261-horsepower V6 that's mated to a five-speed automatic with rear-wheel drive. SL models get a standard 5.6-liter V8 with 317 horsepower that's optional on S and SV trims.
An SV will represent the best compromise between necessities and comfort features for most customers, but an extra $2,600 for the added comforts of the SL isn't unreasonable.
