CarHub · Nissan
The Nissan NV200 is the compact, car-based cargo van that became a familiar sight on American streets — including as the basis for New York's yellow taxi program — and it remains a practical, easy-to-park working vehicle.

Model profile
The NV200 was sold in the United States from the 2013 model year through 2021 as Nissan's small commercial van, slotting well below the full-size NV cargo range. It was also rebadged and sold by another manufacturer as the Chevrolet City Express during part of that period, and it formed the mechanical basis for the purpose-built New York taxi.
Powertrain and equipment
Every US NV200 uses a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine (the MR20DE) producing around 131 hp, driving the front wheels through a CVT automatic. This is a deliberately modest, economy-focused drivetrain: the priority is fuel efficiency, easy city driving and low cost per kilometre rather than outright performance.
The core body style is the two-seat cargo van with dual sliding side doors and split rear doors that open wide for loading. US trims were simple (S and SV), differentiating mainly on equipment such as touchscreen infotainment, backup camera and convenience features rather than mechanicals.
Vehicle selection
Because the NV200 sold overwhelmingly as a commercial vehicle, the American used market is dominated by ex-fleet and ex-business vans, and many carry high mileage.
A US-sourced NV200 suits the buyer who wants a genuinely compact, economical van that is easy to manoeuvre and park in tight European towns and cities.

Pre-purchase review
NV200 reliability is reasonable for a simple, car-based commercial vehicle, but its working life means condition varies widely.If expressly commissioned, feasible at the vehicle location and approved by the seller, USCar Trader can arrange a driving assessment to document observable shift quality, shudder, hesitation or driveline noise; service and repair records are reviewed separately.
Germany and Europe
US NV200s run amber front side markers and North American rear lighting without a rear fog lamp, and instruments read in mph.
Typical changes are the lighting (front side markers, addition of a rear fog lamp, headlight conformity) and confirmation of the odometer reading.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.
Questions and answers
Yes, for buyers who need a small, economical, easy-to-park van rather than full-size capacity. Its car-based design makes it practical in tight European streets.
Reasonably reliable for a simple commercial vehicle. The CVT is the main item to check, especially on high-mileage ex-fleet and ex-taxi vans.
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case.

They can be, but expect very high mileage and heavy interior wear. Prioritise documented servicing and a healthy transmission.
Payload is roughly 680 kg depending on variant, with a large, boxy cargo area that is generous for the van's compact size.
Mainly lighting — side markers and a rear fog lamp — plus the individual approval and registration in the appropriate vehicle class.
Usually by container from a US port to Bremerhaven or Rotterdam, which protects it during the crossing.
No. We act as an independent broker and intermediary for used US vehicles and organise the import on your behalf.
