Starting in 2013, the Nissan NV 200 will become the exclusive new taxi for New York City. Following the discontinuation of the Ford Crown Victoria, Nissan squared off against two other finalists: a truck from Turkish maker Karsan and a taxi version of Ford’s Transit Connect. In the end, the NV 200 was picked by the Taxi and Limousine Commission and awarded the 10-year, $1 billion contract to provide New York with thousands of taxis.
The Nissan NV 200 taxi will have many exciting features that will provide passengers with the safest, most comfortable, and most convenient cab that they have ever encountered. These features include:
• A transparent roof panel that will provide a unique view of the city’s skyscrapers.
• Overhead reading lights and floor lighting
• A mobile charging station with a 12V outlet and two USB plugs
• Standard traction control and Vehicle Dynamic Control
• A “low annoyance horn” with exterior lights that indicate when the vehicle is honking.
• Independent control of the rear AC and a special air filter to improve cabin air quality
Nissan Americas Chairman Carlos Tavares states, “The NV 200 taxi will give Nissan the opportunity to showcase our dedication to vehicle quality and urban mobility to more than 600,000 passengers every day.”
With the combination of very unique and fuel efficient features, the Nissan NV 200 will provide its citizens and visitors of New York City with a new and exciting view of one of the greatest cities in world.
