Now available at dealers nationwide, the 2019 Nissan NV Cargo Van starts at $29,340 for the standard roof option with the 4.0-liter V6. The NV Passenger Van, on the other hand, starts at $35,660 excluding the $1,395 charge for destination and handling.
In other words, Nissan hiked up the price by $610 compares to the previous model year. On the upside, the increased price comes with more standard equipment in the guise of 7.0-inch Display Audio with AUX and USB ports, Bluetooth media streaming, and voice recognition.

Another newity is the Backdoor Glass Package, which is now available on the entry-level S and SV V8 trim levels. The body-on-frame chassis and commercial-grade powertrain options are backed up by heavy-duty transmissions.

The 4.0-liter V6 develops 261 horsepower and relies on a five-speed automatic while the 5.6-liter V8 with 375 horsepower is linked to a seven-speed automatic. Customers are offered three trim levels (S, SV, and SL), up to 324 seat configurations, and a maximum passenger capacity of 12.

At the very top of the range, the NV 3500 Passenger Van SL with the eight-cylinder engine costs $42,410, which is top dollar for a utilitarian vehicle. But then again, this configuration does come with all the bells and whistles that one could wish for in the NV.

Assembled in Canton, Mississippi alongside the commercial van, the passenger-oriented variant of the NV also comes with roof-mounted curtain air bags with rollover sensors for side-impact and head protection. The second- and third-row seats are removable and repositionable. The fourth-row seats split 50/50 or can be removed as needed, and if you so wish, Nissan is much obliged to wrap each and every seat in leather upholstery.

As curious as this might come to you, the optional infotainment system features a diagonal of 5.8 inches. But as opposed to the 7.0-inch system, the 5.8 has satellite navigation and mobile apps, SiriusXM Traffix and SiriusXM Travel Link, as well as voice recognition for navigation.
