Two more for Nissan LCV range

Nissan has launched two new Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) to the South African market in the form of the NV Panel Vans.

The NV200panel van has a compact body and has a low cost of ownership while the NV350 has efficient running costs for a small business. Nissan says  NV200 Combi and NV350 Taxi variants will follow later in 2013.

GROWING THE FAMILY


The NV vans join the existing line-up of the NP200 half-ton bakkie, NP300 Hardbody one-ton bakkie, the Navara and the Patrol pick-up.

Nissan SA’s Freddie Louw, marketing manager for the LCV business unit sdays: “We're confident that the vans will prove successful, where our existing LCV models such as the NP200 and NP300 Hardbody bakkies are the darlings of the light commercial sector.”

The NV200 comes in two engine choices: the 1.6i Visia houses a normally-aspirated 1.6 petrol engine good for 81kW/153Nm and driving through a five-speed manual transmission and the front wheels with a claimed average fuel consumption of 7.2 litres/100km with 166g/km of CO2 emissions. The turbocharged diesel 1.5 dCi Visia makes 66kW/200Nm and Nissan claims its fuel consumption averages 4.9 litres/100km and 129g/km CO2.

It comes in a range of colours, among them white, silver, grey, black and red.
