The new Nissan NV300 van and minibus<\/p><\/div>\n
Like its predecesoor, the Nissan Primastar, the NV300 is of course based on the Renault Trafic\/Vauxhall Vivaro. But as I’ve mentioned before, it enjoys one very special advantage over these two European models:\u00a0a five-year\/100,000 mile warranty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Renaut and Vauxhall only offer a four-year warranty, so all else being equal (and it pretty much is) you might as well plump for the NV300, in my opinion. Certainly, if I was equally close to a Nissan and (say) a\u00a0Renault dealer,\u00a0I’d\u00a0probably opt for the Nissan.<\/p>\n The new NV300 fills the gap between Nissan’s in-house\u00a0small van, the NV200<\/a>, and the Renault Master-based NV400<\/a>. Available from all 220\u00a0of\u00a0Nissan’s UK dealers, the NV300 is available in three\u00a0trim levels and as a panel van, crew van,\u00a0minibus or\u00a0chassic cab version.<\/p>\n Panel van customers can\u00a0choose between short and long wheelbase and two roof heights, while a choice of tailgate or barn doors is also\u00a0available to suit different usage scenarios. All the panel van models are able to carry at least three Europallets.<\/p>\n The NV300 is powered by Nissan’s\u00a0popular 1.6-litre dCi diesel engine, available in a choice of\u00a095hp, 120hp, 125hp and 145hp power outputs. All models have a six-speed manual\u00a0gearbox and fuel consumption\u00a0can be as high as 50.4mpg.<\/p>\n Service intervals have been extended to two years\/25,000 miles, in order to minimise the total cost of ownership. That may be good news for the van’s first owner. But as I’ve said before, my personal\u00a0opinion is that two years and 25,000 miles is too long for any\u00a0<\/em>vehicle to go without\u00a0a mechanical inspection or a change of oil.<\/p>\n That’s just my opinion. Just don’t expect me to rush to buy a four-year old van, that’s only ever had one oil change, and has spent most of its life\u00a0doing\u00a0short urban journeys with lots of cold starts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The new Nissan NV300 medium van is now available from all UK Nissan dealers, with prices starting from \u00a321,300 +VAT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9444,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[8],"tags":[492,1989],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9443"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9443"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9443\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9445,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9443\/revisions\/9445"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9444"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9443"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9443"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9443"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
