Used Van Buying Guide: Nissan NV200 2009-2019 16 Jun 2025 (News)
Packing masses of space into its 4.4m overall length, Nissan’s light panel van boasts a volume of 4.2 cubic metres - a full 900 litres more than a Citroen Berlingo. Indeed, to match the NV200’s volume you’ll need to look at long-wheelbase versions of its rivals. Even here it excels, with 200 litres more than a Renault Kangoo long-wheelbase and matching that of a long-wheelbase Vauxhall Combo. What it delivers in space it might lack a bit in style, but that is a compromise most buyers will be happy to make such is its usefulness.
