Nissan is targeting those who enjoy going outdoors
in comfort with a duo of camper vans that were presented during the Madrid
Motor Show in Spain. The first is based on the e-NV200 electric van, which uses
a 40kWh battery and has an estimated total driving range of 280 km. With
its limited reach, the e-NV200 Camper Van is mostly suitable to those who live
near the mountains or the sea – or don’t mind taking their time to stop and
recharge the battery.
The ones who aren’t that interested in going green
can enjoy the NV300, which swaps the electric gear for a 1.6-liter dCi diesel
engine. The internal combustion unit is offered is offered with four outputs in
the regular models: 95 PS, 120 PS, 125 PS and 145 PS, all mated to a six-speed manual gearbox.
Both camper vans “have
interior and exterior modifications that let drivers enjoy a getaway to the
countryside”, says Nissan. They can accommodate up to four people, who will be
able to cook in the kitchen that’s equipped with a refrigerator, sink, water
and gas installations.
At nightfall, the interior can be converted into two
bedrooms with stationary heating and window shades. The second sleeping area
consists of a double bed in the raised roof.
The automaker is also offering customers the
possibility to personalize their camper vans, but didn’t disclose any details
other than “customers in Spain can go to their favorite Nissan dealer, order a
camper van and customize it”. We guess that one can do the same in other
countries, too.
