About the Nissan NV300
The Nissan NV300 was introduced in 2016 as the successor to the Primastar, serving as Nissan's entry in the competitive medium van segment. While the model launched with a 1.6-litre engine, the 2019 update introduced the more robust 2.0-litre dCi unit sourced from the Renault-Nissan Alliance to meet Euro 6d-Temp emissions standards. It is essentially a badge-engineered sibling to the Renault Trafic and Vauxhall Vivaro, distinguished by Nissan's signature 'V-motion' grille and a class-leading five-year warranty. The 170hp variant represents the range-topping performance for this generation, offering significantly improved torque for heavy-duty hauling compared to earlier models.
