NV400

The Nissan NV400 is a light commercial van produced by Nissan. It was introduced in 2010 as part of the Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance and is essentially a rebadged Renault Master III. The NV400 shares its platform and powertrains with other members of the Master family, including the Opel Movano and Fiat Ducato variants, and was marketed primarily in Europe for commercial use.

The NV400 was offered in panel van, crew van, and passenger variants, with multiple wheelbase lengths (L1, L2, L3) and roof heights (H1, H2, H3). This configuration allowed cargo volumes roughly between 8 and 13 cubic meters and payloads up to around 2.0–2.5 tonnes depending on the setup. Powertrains centered on 2.3-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel engines with outputs roughly 100–170 hp, with a 2.5-litre option in some markets, typically paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. Safety features included ABS with EBD, and electronic stability control was available on higher trims.

Sales and lifecycle: The NV400 was offered mainly in European markets and built at Renault’s Batilly plant, aligning with the Master production. By the mid-2010s, Nissan began shifting focus to newer badge-engineered models such as the NV300, and NV400 production declined in most regions.

Summary: The NV400 represents Nissan's badge-engineered entry into a large van, built on a Renault platform and marketed for commercial users seeking a balance of cargo capacity and efficiency within the compact to mid-size van segment.
