The first examples of the Nissan NV200 taxi have been introduced on the streets of New York City, the Japanese automaker announced earlier this week. The first NV200 fare officially kicked-off at JFK International Airport, dropping its inaugural passenger near 13th Street and 6th Avenue in Manhattan, the manufacturer added.
Powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that comes with a 150,000-mile warranty, the Nissan NV200 is available for purchase in eight Nissan dealerships in the New York City region. The vehicles can be acquired by any New York City medallion owners.
“The Nissan NV200T demonstrates the company’s leadership in advancing global mobility through modern vehicle design and technology,” said Andy Palmer, executive vice president for Nissan Motor Company. “From its fuel-efficient powertrain, to its space-saving design and passenger-centric interior, the Nissan taxi is a prime example of innovative spirit that goes into all Nissan vehicles.”
“We are excited to see the NV200T now carrying passengers around Manhattan, and look forward to bringing the same NV200T experience to drivers and passengers in new markets outside New York,” Palmer added.
