What is the wheelbase of the Nissan NV200?
3 Answers
The wheelbase of the Nissan NV200 is 2725 mm, and the length, width, and height of this car are 4400 mm, 1695 mm, and 1847 mm respectively. The Nissan NV200 is a commercial vehicle based on a sedan platform, available in three models: a two-row 5-seat commercial version, a three-row 7-seat commercial version, and a three-row 7-seat passenger version. The Nissan NV200 is equipped with the renowned HR16DE engine from Nissan, which is a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine. This engine has a maximum power of 91 kW and a maximum torque of 153 Nm. It features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The engine is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT transmission. The front suspension of the vehicle uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a leaf spring non-independent suspension, which enhances the vehicle's load-carrying capacity.
I've driven the Nissan NV200 commercial MPV several times, and its wheelbase is 2725mm. This measurement strikes a good balance among van models—it's over 100mm longer than the Wuling Rongguang, making turns less strenuous while maintaining a flat cargo floor above the rear wheels. Last time when helping a friend move, we loaded five equipment cases plus two folding bicycles, and the rear door closed securely. However, note that front-wheel-drive vehicles with overly long wheelbases tend to understeer, so extra caution is needed on narrow roads. Although the newer NV300 offers more space, the classic 2725mm dimension still provides better maneuverability in urban areas, especially noticeable during unloading at wet markets.
As a driver who frequently transports goods, I'm very familiar with the NV200's 2725mm wheelbase: the cargo area can fit three standard cargo boxes side by side, and when the rear seats are folded down, the depth reaches nearly 1.5 meters. It's 10cm shorter than the Jinbei but more fuel-efficient, and when loading equipment, the rear end is less likely to scrape against walls. Last year, I modified the suspension for rough roads and found that the wheelbase happens to be in the range with minimal shaking frequency. A reminder to owners: long-term overloading increases stress on the wheelbase and accelerates wear on the inner side of the tires. It's recommended to check the wheel alignment every three months.
