NV300

The NV300 is a mid-size light commercial van badge used by Nissan for a version of Renault’s Trafic design. Introduced in the mid-2010s, it is part of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance and is primarily marketed in Europe. The NV300 is essentially a Renault Trafic-based van rebranded for Nissan and shares its underlying engineering with other alliance models such as the Opel/Vauxhall Vivaro.

The NV300 is offered in several body styles to suit cargo and passenger needs. It is available as a standard panel van for commercial use, a crew van with additional seating, and a Combi/passenger variant. Configurations typically include short and long wheelbases and various roof heights to maximize cargo space or passenger comfort. Gross vehicle weight and payload vary by specification, with multiple trim levels and options to tailor equipment and interiors.

Powertrains are diesel-based, with engines including 1.6 dCi and 2.0 dCi options, paired with a six-speed manual gearbox and, in some markets, an automated or semi-automatic transmission. The NV300 shares drivetrain and suspension characteristics with the Renault Trafic and the broader alliance family, emphasizing a balance of load capability, ride comfort, and efficiency for urban and regional transport.

Market presence and status vary by region and model year, but the NV300 has remained part of Nissan’s van lineup in markets where Renault’s Trafic-based products are sold. It is commonly discussed alongside the Renault Trafic, Opel/Vauxhall Vivaro, and Nissan’s other NV series models as part of a shared platform strategy.
