Nissan NV200 is a compact commercial van that has gained popularity due to its practicality, efficiency and adaptability to urban conditions. The model, introduced in 2009, has become an ideal solution for small businesses, courier services and families in need of spacious but maneuverable transport. In this article we have collected the most complete collection of photos NV200 - from official promotional shots to real images from different angles, including rare modifications and tuning projects.
You will find out what the car looks like front, back and profile in various body colors, see interior details (including trim options and interior configurations), and also evaluate the capabilities of the luggage compartment. We will pay special attention unique design features that are often missed in standard reviews, such as hidden cargo tie-downs or subtle differences between generations. For those planning a purchase, we have prepared comparative photos with our main competitors (Renault Kangoo, Peugeot Partner, Ford Transit Connect).
Official photos of Nissan NV200: exterior from different angles
Let's start with manufacturer's promotional materials, which best convey the designers' intent. Nissan NV200 the first generation (2009–2020) was distinguished by rounded shapes, a short hood and a high roof - this made it visually similar to an enlarged hatchback. Second generation (from 2020, sold as Nissan Townstar in Europe) received a more aggressive look with LED optics and chrome accents.
Below is a gallery of key angles:
- 📌 Front view: accent on the large radiator grille with logo Nissan and headlights (halogen/LED depending on configuration). The photo clearly shows how the bumper design has changed in the restyled versions.
- 📌 Side profile: short wheelbase (2725 mm) and high ground clearance (155 mm) ensure maneuverability. Please note
sliding doorson both sides - convenience for urban use. - 📌 Rear view: vertical lights and wide tailgates (open 180°). The cargo version has no glass, and the passenger version (NV200 Combi) — there is a rear window with a wiper.

It is especially interesting to compare pre-restyling (2009–2014) And restyled (2014–2020) versions. For example, after the update the following appeared:
- 🔹 New radiator grille with chrome trim.
- 🔹 Redesigned bumpers with integrated foglights.
- 🔹 LED running lights in top trim levels.
⚠️ Attention: Photos of dealer showrooms often show cars with optional accessories (for example,roof railsorprotective door sills), which come at an additional cost. Check the package before purchasing!
Photos of the NV200 interior: ergonomics and finishing options
Interior Nissan NV200 designed with functionality in mind. The driver's seat is different high rise (as in crossovers) and good visibility. The instrument panel is simple but informative: an analogue speedometer, tachometer and on-board computer with fuel consumption data. Appeared in restyled versions color display between scales.
The center console depends on the configuration:
- 🎛️ Basic version: audio system with
CD/MP3, climate control knobs (air conditioning is optional). - 🎛️ Top version: touch screen NissanConnect (5-7 inches), support
Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, cruise control.
| Salon element | Basic equipment | Top equipment |
|---|---|---|
| Steering wheel | Plastic, unheated | Leather, with audio control buttons |
| Seats | Fabric, not heated | Fabric/leather, heated front seats |
| Climate control | Manual air conditioner | Automatic climate control |
| Multimedia | Audio system with 4 speakers | NissanConnect with navigation and rear view camera |
Deserves special attention cargo version of the cabin: There is no second row of seats, and the floor is covered with durable plastic or rubber. In the passenger version (NV200 Combi) the back row is transformed, and the seats fold, increasing the trunk volume to 3.2 m³.
Secret storage compartments
There are several hidden places for small items in the NV200 interior:
- A tool box is often installed under the trunk floor (in the cargo version).
- At the end of the front panel to the right of the steering wheel there is a niche for documents or a phone.
- The door cards have deep pockets that can accommodate a 1.5 liter bottle.
Photo of the luggage compartment: volumes and configurations
Main advantage NV200 — practical trunk, which can be adapted to any task. In the standard cargo version the volume is 4.2 m³, and taking into account the ceiling height (1200 mm), a Euro pallet can be placed here (800×1200 mm). Passenger modification (Combi) offers flexible options:
- 📦 5 seats: trunk 0.8 m³ (with rear row of seats).
- 📦 2 places: trunk 3.2 m³ (rear row folded).
The photo below shows how the space is organized:
- 🔧 Cargo lashings: in the cargo version there are on the walls and floor
D-ringsfor belts. - 🔧 Folding seats: in Combi the rear row folds in a 60:40 ratio.
- 🔧 Additional accessories: shelves, drawers and partitions (installed by dealer).

⚠️ Attention: In cargo versions NV200 often absent rear window, which makes parking difficult. If the car is not equipped with parking sensors or a camera, get used to navigating by mirrors!
Real photos of the NV200: what the car looks like in real life
Official photos don't always reflect how Nissan NV200 looks good on the road. We have collected real pictures from owners to show:
- 🚗 What a car looks like in different colors (the most popular are
metallic gray,whiteAndblue). - 🚗 Features of appearance after 5+ years of operation (for example, how the plastic of bumpers burns out).
- 🚗 Examples of tuning: tinting, alloy wheels, stickers and protective films.
For example, in the photo below you can see that:
- 🔍 Front bumper often scratched when parking (weak spots are corners).
- 🔍 Tail lights Over time they become cloudy from the sun (a problem with restyled versions).
- 🔍 Wheel arches collect dirt, so many owners install
mud flaps.
It is also worth paying attention to photo of the interior after long-term use:
- 🛋️ The fabric seat upholstery wears out on the side bolsters (especially the driver’s).
- 🛋️ Over time, the plastic of the instrument panel becomes covered with scratches from keys or phones.
- 🛋️ In cargo versions, the trunk floor often has dents from heavy cargo.
Before purchasing a used NV200, be sure to check the condition sliding doors - their mechanism often becomes clogged with dirt, and they begin to creak or jam.
Comparison of NV200 with competitors: photos and key differences
To understand why Nissan NV200 stands out from its analogues, let's compare it with its main competitors in the photo:
| Model | Trunk volume (m³) | Ceiling height (mm) | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nissan NV200 | 4,2 | 1200 | The shortest hood, high ground clearance |
| Renault Kangoo | 4,6 | 1230 | More spacious interior, but less maneuverable |
| Peugeot Partner | 3,8 | 1150 | Better sound insulation, but less load capacity |
| Ford Transit Connect | 3,6 | 1170 | More powerful engines, but more expensive to maintain |
The photo shows that NV200:
- 🔹 More compact Kangoo And Partner — easier to park in the city.
- 🔹Has higher ceilingthan Transit Connect — convenient for transporting large cargo.
- 🔹Different short front overhang, which improves visibility.
At the same time, competitors have their advantages. For example, Peugeot Partner offers the best interior trim, and Ford Transit Connect - more powerful motors. The choice depends on priorities: if needed maneuverability and simplicity, NV200 out of competition.
The Nissan NV200 is the best choice for the city due to its compact size and high ground clearance, but it is inferior to its competitors in comfort over long distances.
