Nissan NV200: van, Evalia and e-NV200 — engines and trims
Nissan NV200 — a compact city van with two sliding doors, plus the passenger version Evalia and the electric e-NV200. We look at the trims, engines, battery and what to check when buying a used NV200.
NV200 in brief
The NV200 debuted in 2009 as a compact city van: small exterior size, but a spacious load area and sliding doors on both sides. In Europe, a passenger version called Evalia was also sold.
It's ideal for small businesses, tradespeople and city deliveries, while the passenger Evalia is perfect for families or taxis when plenty of space is needed in a compact body. The load area is wide enough to fit two European pallets.
Trims and the electric e-NV200
The van trim has a single row of seats and a large load area, the Combi has extra seats, and the Evalia offers 5 or 7 seating positions.
The electric e-NV200 was launched in 2014 and sold in Europe until around 2022. Early versions had a 24 kWh battery, while the updated model (from 2018) featured a 40 kWh battery and around 109 hp electric motor. In the used market, pay attention to the battery's condition.
Engines and gearboxes
The most common engine in Europe is the 1.5 dCi diesel, with various power outputs (up to around 110 hp in later models), and the 1.6 petrol engine. The gearbox is usually manual; automatics are less common.
Thanks to its light weight and compact size, the NV200 is economical in the city, but it's not the quietest or fastest on the motorway.
What to check when buying a used NV200
Check the body: sliding door seals, wheel arches and dents, as well as the cargo area floor — commercial vehicles are often heavily used.
For the diesel engine, check the DPF filter, EGR valve, injectors and turbo, especially if the vehicle has mostly been driven in the city. The engine should start without a long crank and shouldn't smoke.
For the e-NV200, you'll need a battery health report, a set of charging cables and a check if fast charging (CHAdeMO) works. Check the mileage against service records.
