2017 Nissan NV200 Compact Cargo

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 NV200 Compact Cargo.

Body TRUCKTransmission Automatic (variable gear ratios)

The 2017 Nissan NV200 Compact Cargo is a truck-based workhorse designed for efficient urban duty, pairing an automatic transmission with variable gear ratios to deliver an EPA-estimated 24 city, 26 highway, and 25 combined mpg. Keeping its powertrain running smoothly requires 4.0 quarts of 5W-30 API oil during routine maintenance, anchoring a straightforward mechanical footprint. From a reliability standpoint, this model year presents a notably quiet history with just seven total owner complaints and two recalls, though the primary concern centers specifically around the air bag system. Consequently, its low complaint volume indicates a generally dependable platform for commercial researchers, provided the air bag recalls are properly addressed.

Prep Measure the diameter of each cylinder head bolt at point A and point B. Point A = 11.00 mm from thread end and point B = 45.00 mm from thread end. If either diameter is less than 0.15 mm Do not reuse old bolts. Use new bolts coated with clean engine oil. Tighten all bolts to finger tight then continue on with the following procedure.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 5,000 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 2017 Nissan NV200 Compact Cargo dominate in one area — the air bags, 3 of 7 reports (43%), well ahead of the next concern. None of this vehicle's 2 recall campaigns target the air bags, so those reports read as owner-reported wear-and-tear rather than an acknowledged defect. 0 of the reports describe a crash and 0 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the air bags 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.
