2019 Nissan NV200 Compact Cargo

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 NV200 Compact Cargo.

Body TRUCKTransmission Automatic (variable gear ratios)

The 2019 Nissan NV200 Compact Cargo is a purpose-built truck built on a commercial platform and powered by a four-cylinder engine that requires 4.8 quarts of 5W-30 oil for maintenance, paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission that achieves EPA fuel economy ratings of 24 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined; this efficiency places it competitively within its segment for businesses prioritizing operational costs. In terms of reliability, the 2019 model year recorded only seven owner complaints total, with engine-related issues representing the most frequently cited concern among those reports, and the vehicle was subject to two safety recalls during its production cycle. Given this relatively low complaint volume in context—particularly when viewed against the broader NV200 platform history—the 2019 model year maintains a respectable standing for dependability, though prospective buyers should note that the engine system warranted the most attention among the documented concerns, suggesting targeted pre-purchase inspection of that component remains advisable.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 3,750 mi; spark plugs at 105,000 mi; coolant at 105,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 105,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Owner complaints about the 2019 Nissan NV200 Compact Cargo lead in one area — the engine, 2 of 7 reports (29%), well ahead of the next concern. None of this vehicle's 2 recall campaigns target the engine, so those reports read as owner-reported wear-and-tear rather than an acknowledged defect. 1 of the reports describe a crash and 0 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the engine pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
