The new Nissan NV200 Combi is now available in South Africa, following the release of the NV200 panel van in June, and forms part of an already comprehensive new LCV range from the brand.

Nissan NV200 Combi offers petrol or diesel engines

The new Nissan NV200 Combi comes with the choice of two power units, the 1.6i Petrol and 1.5 dCi Diesel. Both engines are mated to five-speed manual gearboxes and feature front-wheel-drive.

The NV200 Combi 1.6i is fitted with a normally aspirated 1.6-litre petrol engine producing 81kW at 6000 rpm and 153Nm of torque at 4400 rpm. Fuel efficiency is rated at an average of 7.3-litres/100km on the combined cycle average with CO2 emissions of 169 g/km.

The diesel-powered 1.5 dCi variant delivers 66kW of power at 4000 rpm and 200Nm of torque at 1750 rpm. Fuel consumption is rated at 5.1-litres/100km with CO2 emissions of 134 g/km.

Features

Much like its sibling the NV200 panel van, the Combi is fitted with sliding doors on either side of the vehicle, 14-inch alloy wheels, and is available in seven colours including white, silver, grey, black, and a more zesty red, blue marine and blue green.

The interior is furnished with two-tone grey and blue upholstery, an uncluttered dashboard, seats covered in durable cloth, and a simply-laid-out instrument binnacle which houses a large speedometer flanked by a smart 2.8-inch multi-information LCD display screen.

The load space

There are lots of smart storage solutions throughout the cabin, among them a conventional cubby, a storage tray atop the facia, smaller trays in the centre console and around the steering-wheel, large door pockets and four cup-holders. With the rearmost seats folded up against the sides of the vehicle, a generous 2.3 cubic metres of cargo volume is made available, and folding the middle row forwards turns that into a massive 3.1 cubic metres.

Equipment

Standard-fitment equipment includes remote central locking and an immobiliser, air conditioning, a radio/CD audio system with aux and USB input ports as well as Bluetooth for audio streaming and hands-free cell phone use, an anti-bacterial gear knob and steering wheel, electric windows up front, electric mirrors, a multi-function steering wheel, front fog lights, and a full-size spare wheel.

The NV200 Combi also comes equipped with high levels of safety and standard equipment such as ABS with EBD, VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control), driver, passenger and front side airbags, ISOFIX child seat anchor points as well as a seatbelt warning buzzer for both driver and front passenger.
