Meeting and exceeding the needs and preferences of our customers is a priority. This innovative five year Manufacturer Warranty was developed following in depth research among our LCV customers to understand what they valued most."
“We felt ‘The Substitute’ was a fun, visual way to demonstrate how a Nissan LCV can transform the life of a small business owner.”
“At Nissan, we understand that for our commercial vehicle customers, having a reliable, versatile mode of transport is incredibly important to successfully run their business. That is why all Nissan LCVs now come with our new five year, fully transferable warranty, to show our customers that Nissan is a brand they can trust and rely on to meet their business needs.”
Nissan has one of the widest ranges of LCVs in Europe to include the popular current Navara pick-up and all-new Navara from early 2016, NV200 and NV400 vans and NT400 Cabstar and NT500 trucks. Designed to suit a variety of uses, Nissan's vans and pick-ups provide cleverly-designed cargo spaces and the latest technological features as options, including rear view camera and NissanConnect Navigation system.
