Should you want to repurpose the NV Passenger van for cargo-hauling purposes, removing the second, third and fourth rows will provide up to 218.9 cubic feet of space. With the fourth row removed, the second and third rows can be repositioned farther back for additional legroom. Each section can be individually removed, granting owners considerable flexibility for accommodating passengers and luggage.

The second and third rows are 65/35-split, while the fourth row is 50/50-split. The NV Passenger comes with four rows of seating for a maximum capacity of 12 passengers. There's quite a bit of hard plastic in the NV's interior, though the only places where that becomes an issue are on the armrests and center console lid, both of which could use a little padding. Gauges and controls are designed and laid out in a straightforward way that makes them easy to use. There are plenty of places to stash small items as well, including a handy pull-out drawer under the driver seat. The available center console is another nice touch, offering a generous amount of storage. The 2015 Nissan NV sports a functional interior notable for its supportive front seats and the additional legroom offered by pushing the engine out under the elongated hood. Still, the 2015 Nissan NV is easy to recommend, as it is modern, comfortable and versatile for transporting varying amounts of people and cargo. In between them are the 2015 Ram ProMaster Window Van and the 2015 Ford Transit Wagon Van, which, like the Sprinter, offer massive interior space, available diesel power and the walk-around ease of optional high-roof body styles. But it is predictably more expensive, too. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is a top pick thanks to its 15-passenger capacity, high-roof option, nicer interior and more carlike driving feel. There are the familiar 2015 Chevrolet Express and 2015 GMC Savana twins, but those are dated designs and have a lower walk-around interior height. Not long ago, buyers had only a few choices when shopping for a large passenger van, but now there are more options than ever before. In a nod toward commercial users, the NV Passenger is also pre-wired to give upfitters easy access to the van's electrical system when modifying it for specific applications. Although that should be enough for most people, some competing vans can accommodate as many as 15 passengers. Thanks to Nissan's multi-configurable seating options, you can set up this van to handle anything from a mix of a few passengers (and a lot of cargo) all the way up to max people-hauling mode, in which case the NV will carry 12 passengers. Within this niche segment of workhorses, the 2015 Nissan NV Passenger stands as a strong choice. Full-size vans offer far more seating capacity and luggage space than the largest SUVs on the market. If you're transporting an extra-large family, a church group or airport-bound hotel patrons on a regular basis, you're probably going to end up driving a full-size passenger van.
