The 2016 Nissan NV Cargo is extraordinarily customizable. First, there are three categories of van: NV1500, NV2500 HD, and NV3500 HD. The NV1500 has two trim levels, S and SV. The NV2500 and NV3500 offer S, SV, and SL models. You can also get a standard roof or a high roof for any NV2500 or NV3500.To narrow down all these options, ask yourself, "Do I need a high roof?" If not, and you think 234 cubit feet of cargo space is enough, the NV1500 is the way to go. Starting at $26,740, the S model has 57 integrated mounting points, ten exterior roof rack mounting brackets, and a 243 degree opening on its rear cargo doors. The SV adds convenience with power windows, power door locks, and dual power outside mirrors.The NV2500 S also has the power mirrors and increases the cargo space to 323 cubit feet. The NV2500 SV adds a lockable center console with 12-volt outlets. The luxury NV2500 SL gives the van chrome bumpers, grille, and door handles. The NV2500 standard roof starts at $27,740 while the high roof is $29,890. Finally, the NV3500 S builds off the NV2500 S by adding power heated extendable tow mirrors, two front tow hooks, and a class IV tow hitch receiver. Similar to the NV2500 SV and SL, the NV3500 SV adds the lockable center console and the SL adds that touch of chrome. The NV3500 standard roof starts at $30,640. The high roof costs $32,790.

Each NV1500 come with a 4.0-liter V6 engine that outputs 261 horse power and 281 lb-fit of torque at 4,000 rpm. The NV2500 HD could have that engine or, if you need more power, you can upgrade to a 5.6-liter V8. This engine has 317 horse power and 385 lb-ft of torque at 3,400 rpm. The V8 engine comes standard in the NV3500 HD.

According to the Edmunds Expert Review, the ride quality is solid whether the van is empty or full, there is surprisingly little road noise for a working van, and the transmission is responsive.

The two front seats of the NV Cargo are comfortable, particularly those in the SL models, which offer 8-way power adjustable driver's seats with lumbar support. Also, if you opt for an SV or an SL, the locking center console is a great place to store valuables, a clip board, or a laptop computer. Finally, tall workers enjoy the ample leg room in every model.

Every 2016 Nissan NV Cargo comes with Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), seat-mounted airbags for side-on collisions, and roof-mounted curtain side-impact air bags attached to a rollover sensor for head protection. If safety is one of your primary concerns, consider the SV and SL models. The Rear Sonar System on these models makes backing up much easier.
