Nissan NV200 - chassis and powertrain

NV200 is built on a modified and stretched platform B Renault-Nissan Alliance. Diesel engine provides him robust and ideal for urban conditions.

In the front suspension uses MacPherson strut. On the back are a single leaf springs. Impressive cargo space is also due to the wheelbase of EUR 2,725 millimeters.

The design of the front suspension subframe uses, which are mounted on the column and lower arms. Subframe is equipped with rubber elements of noise and vibration damping, which improves the working culture of both suspension and ride comfort. Front stabilizer bar is attached directly to the column of suspension, which effectively prevents the body from tilting during cornering. Ride comfort and increase shock damping vibration of structure due to dense surface cross inequalities.

Rigidity positive influence on ride comfort, driveability and safety. Fulfill a similar task reinforced sills and pillars, and as many as five cross beams in the construction of the chassis. Increased rigidity of the structure obtained without prejudice to the cargo area, and while reducing vehicle weight.

The construction of cabins and doors with deformation zones form a safety cage around the driver and passengers. Impact energy absorbing materials, which made front bumper, bonnet and bulkhead improves the safety of pedestrians involved in any accident.

For NV200 should be standard equipment ABS, with which it operates brake assist and electronic brake force distribution (EBD). Brake assist can destroy up to speed during braking before an unexpected obstacle, even if the driver will reduce pressure on the brake pedal. EBD controls brake force distribution between the front disc brakes and rear drum brakes, reducing the braking distance regardless of the load distribution.

Electronic Stability Control (ESP) is part of a package of security vans Basic and Comfort. Sensors mounted in the brake system, steering and the wheels constantly monitor driving performance. Steering angle sensors and pressure in the brake system shall monitor the movement of the front wheels and performance brakes. Sensors marketing vehicle around a vertical axis and lateral acceleration detect possible under-or oversteer.

In all versions of NV200 is available cost-effective and powerful diesel engine with turbocharged 1.5-liter. The unit is based on the 1.5 dCi engine K9K. Eight-valve engine with a capacity of 1461 cm3 has gained recognition because of low fuel consumption and low emissions. Engine with a five-speed, power develops 85 hp (63 kW) and maximum torque of 200 Nm, and meets the requirements of Europe IV.

Nissan NV200

Despite its compact external dimensions, ensuring agile and efficient way around the crowded streets of the goods can be transported on two standard pallets. The spacious interior also means that the personal version of the NV200 is perfect for a family car.

Economical and functional design combines stylistic elements of passenger cars and commercial vehicles Nissan, complemented by unique solutions such as strongly rising in the lower edge of the glass front doors and side panels. Line asked the edge, extending to the front of the body, which gives the impression that NV200 was in motion even when it is parked. In turn, additional side windows improve visibility.

The NV200 Combi side windows are virtually the entire length of the vehicle, creating a common platform or framework, without visible pillars. External door handles have also been installed in cavities and does not protrude beyond the outline of the body. The Comfort version of windows in the sliding door can open for better ventilation of the interior.

Counterpart rising edge of the side windows in the front door is a deep crease in the sliding door, running into a fence in the last segment of the side bodywork.

NV200 is a characteristic of the front thanks to a new grill design for Nissan, which connects to the reaching the sides of the vehicle headlight globes. Bumpers in body color is a distinguishing element version of the Combi Comfort.

On the back of van is equipped with double doors split in a ratio of 70/30, with optional glazing and mat in version Comfort.

Combi Standard is back in double-leaf glass doors, but both in supply activities, and personal car may be equipped with a retractable one-piece tailgate.

Particular attention was paid to the precision assembly of body components. Gaps between panels have a width and accuracy of matching rather encountered in high-quality passenger cars than commercial vehicles. NV200 is a worthy representative of Nissan, whose elegant silhouette is due to simplicity of form.
