Nissan today announced the start of the pre-launch sales for the all-new NV200 van in Japan. Following its global debut at the 79th International Geneva Motor Show in March, Japan will be the first market to launch this next generation global van starting mid-May. The Nissan NV200 Vanette has been designed to meet the demands of a wide-range of customers for a functional and versatile vehicle that delivers great value-for-money. The compact van combines intelligent layout and packaging to deliver a class-leading 4.1 cubic of loading space. The wagon is a seven-seater people carrier offering a more spacious interior with car-like comfort and features. Powered by the .6L HR16DE petrol engine, the van also offers excellent driving performance without compromising fuel efficiency, for a low total cost of ownership.

The compact Nissan NV200 Vanette will be offered in two configurations - the Van DX light commercial van and the Wagon 16S people carrier. The name NV200 is derived from New generation for N, Vehicle for V, and 200 for its Van classification.
