For Nissan NV350 Urvan

With over 5,000 units sold locally last year, the Nissan Urvan became one of the Japanese car maker’s best-selling vehicles in 2020 — second only to its flagship pickup truck, the Navara. And despite the pandemic, it’s easy to understand how Nissan’s trusty hauler still managed to rack up decent sales figures.

The reliable workhorse has been the go-to family carrier, business utility vehicle, and a transport network vehicle service (TNVS) staple. Nissan’s Urvan even helped deliver meals to our frontliners at the Research Institute of Tropical Medicine (RITM), adding to its growing number of accolades. And with the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP) slowly pushing towards bringing passenger vehicles up to date, you could be looking at the new “king of the road.”

Here’s a breakdown of what’s good and what’s bad about the Nissan Urvan, to help you make a better decision should you be looking to invest in it.

1. A spacious interior

In terms of size, the Nissan Urvan is at par with the likes of the Toyota Hiace and the Foton View.

2. Reliable engine

Powering the Nissan Urvan is the Japanese car manufacturer’s YD25DDTi turbo diesel engine. The inline four-cylinder, DOHC, 16-valve, variable turbocharger (VGS) mill boasts both pull power and fuel economy. It can put out 127 tough horses with 356Nm of torque, good enough for moving people and cargo. Hopeful owners can also benefit from the YD25DDTi’s reduced CO2 footprint and low noise and vibration.

The same engine powers all Nissan Urvan models across the board including its Premium MT and Premium AT variants.

3. Good ride comfort

Whether transporting employees to the office or taking them on a team building trip, the Nissan Urvan offers good ride comfort on both short and long drives. Outfitted suspensions are torsion bars with stabilizers at the front and a rigid axle with leaf spring at the rear.

Inside, passengers are treated to fixed bench seats in fabric for the standard 15 and 18-seater variants, while those who opt for the premium models get bench-type seats with manual reclining function and adjustable head restraints in premium fabric. Air-conditioning for the standard models have 12 independent rear seat A/C vents while the premium trims get 14 independent rear seat A/C vents, both with independent control. They also included a lower tray with a vent from the air conditioner to keep drinks cool when stuck in traffic under the scorching sun.

To be expected in premium models are features like the sliding-door closure assist on both the side and the rear doors, smooth sliding side windows, seatback pockets for the passengers at the back, as well as the addition of eight cup holders and three bottle holders.

1. Dated interior.

Oddly enough, the Nissan Urvan offers an interior with a rather dated design. Even the premium fabric used on the premium models make you feel like sitting in an office rather than in a luxury vehicle. Granted that the Urvan offers a comfortable ride, it definitely won’t win awards when it comes to style.

The cabin also sends the message that it values convenience over aesthetics. With dashboards made with black textured plastic, it’s clear that it was built for utility rather than to look fancy. The outfitted audio systems are good enough to keep drivers company but maybe lacking a touch of modern technology. Both the standard and premium models get an antiquated 2-DIN single-in-dash CD/tuner/aux audio unit, with the former equipped with two speakers and the latter having four. Air-conditioning is also controlled using analog dials.

2. Boxy exterior.

The Nissan Urvan has been an iconic vehicle in the Japanese car company’s lineup. As we’ve briefly covered above, it delivers strong annual sales figures worldwide. Known as the Caravan in other markets, the Urvan holds high regards in Nissan’s books. That said, the same boxy dimensions have been carried over from past generations.

However, the Urvan’s rectangular shape may not exactly appeal to prospective car buyers looking for a family vehicle who might prefer sleek and stylish vans like the Starex from Hyundai.

Splash the cash or hard pass?

Despite its dated and basic design, the Nissan Urvan is a practical choice, especially for fleet operators and entrepreneurs. Its roomy interiors and relatively fuel-efficient engine makes for a perfect combination for those looking to invest in an affordable utility-oriented vehicle.

For Nissan NV350 Urvan

When it comes to commuter vans, the Nissan Urvan NV350 is immediately one of the few models that come to mind.  Known as the Caravan in other markets, the cavernous cabin of Nissan’s perennial van can fit an entire clan with its 15-16 seating capacity (including driver), putting it among the preferred choices for large families and operators of UV Express vehicles and rental vans looking to ferry the most number of people in one trip.

The 2020 Nissan Urvan is driven by a 2.5-Liter 4 In-Line DOHC 16-Valve Variable Turbocharged Diesel engine that puts out 127hp and 356Nm of torque. The three lower variants rely on a 5-speed manual transmission for shifting, while the two Premium variants offer a choice between a 5-speed automatic and 5-speed manual.

The 2020 Nissan NV350 is available in five different trims, with color choices ranging from Alpine White, Pearl White (for Premium variants only), Brilliant Silver (for 15- and 18-seater variants only), Gun Metallic (for 15- and 18-seater variants only), Topaz Brown (for 15-seater variants only), and Granite Black (for 15-seater variants only). Price ranges from PHP1.16 million for the Cargo 3-Seater to PHP1.87 million for the Premium A/T 15-Seater.

If you’re interested in other vans on the market, here’s what’s available.

Toyota Hiace (PHP1. 48 to 2. 98 Million)

As one of the oldest van nameplates in the country, the Hyundai Grand Starex has certainly weathered some ups and downs, enjoying immense popularity early, then being overshadowed by its competitors the next. The current model, available with three different 2.5-liter diesel engine options, also offers automatic and manual gearbox options, both 5-speed.

With a seating capacity for up to nine passengers, the Grand Starex is definitely a forerunner for those living with extended family members. For ultimate comfort, the Grand Starex comes with a front and rear climate control system that keeps all passengers cozy. A touchscreen dashboard links to a larger drop down LCD screen so that occupants front and back can operate the vehicle’s onboard infotainment system. A dual sunroof is also standard.

Maxus V80 (PHP1. 19 — PHP1. 57 million)

New Chinese vehicle brand Maxus officially expanded its operations to the Philippines in the middle of 2019, and as its opening salvo, released two massive people haulers in the guise of the Maxus V80 and G10. While the latter is more of an MPV, the Maxus V80 is every bit the workhorse van the Pinoy businessman deserves.

Foton Transvan (PHP1. 14 to 1. 23 Million)

Foton is a popular commercial vehicle brand who has recently ventured into passenger car category, and if their sturdy buses and trucks are anything to go by, you’re assured that you’re getting a workhorse vehicle in the Foton Transvan. Serving as the entry-level for the Chinese brand’s deep lineup of passenger vans, the Transvan comes in 13-, 15-, and 16-seat configurations to suit different needs. A 2.8-liter turbocharged diesel engine delivers 90hp and 225Nm of torque for each of the variants, with a 5-speed manual serving as the only transmission option. Anti-lock brakes with EBD provide safe stopping power for all models.
