Ford recently unveiled a new Transit Connect model at “Go Further” event in Amsterdam. The new model completed the ‘fourth generation’ Transit line-up, following the earlier release of the Tourneo Custom and Transit Custom models in Europe. People who cannot do without the cargo carrying and towing capabilities vans offer can now turn to the 2013 Transit Connect.
Nissan has decided to build on the success it achieved last year when it introduced the NV Cargo by releasing a revamped 2013 Nissan NV Cargo. The NV Cargo is aimed at those who want a cargo van/small pickup but also want to settle for one that is compact, and more fuel efficient than the larger vans in the class. The 2013 NV Cargo sits on the tried and trusted Nissan compact commercial platform. It is powered by a 261hp VQ 4.0L V6 engine paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission system with overdrive. It rides on 17-inch styled steel wheels and has some of the most innovative safety and standard features in the class, such as stability control, driveline traction control, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes (ABS), tilt steering wheel and systems monitor
The Nissan NV Cargo competes with the Ford Transit Connect, GMC Savana and GM’s Chevrolet Express vans. But the fiercest competition in the segment is the 2013 Ford Transit Connect vs 2013 Nissan NV Cargo.
Although the 2013 Ford Transit Connect comes with more versatility, higher efficiency and improvement in cost-of-ownership over the previous models, just like before it is still based on Ford’s Kinetic styling theme. The utility vehicle is aimed at light-duty users who need its high roof and the spacious interior. It is built with Ford’s 136hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and paired with a four-speed automatic.
Unlike most vans out there, the Ford Transit Connect 2013 is easy to manoeuvre and the fuel economy from its four-cylinder engine is satisfactory. It is perfectly as city-based work van. The boxy shape gives a cargo carrying solution and it also comes with some impressive high-tech features, including an Internet access, in-dash computer, vehicle tracking and monitoring systems. With around 135 cubic feet of space behind its front seats, you will not have to worry about cargo space. It is the ideal carrier for those who wants space!
While the NV Cargo relatively new to the North America, it has been a regular in more than 40 countries and it has some awards to show for its consistency. It has received acclaim from China to Germany for its optimal functionality and smart design! The Nissan NV Cargo 2013 has an overall length of 186.2 inches, on a 115.2-inch wheelbase, and comes with an estimated cargo carrying capacity of 1,500-pound.
It will always be difficult to choose between a Cadillac and a Bentley. The tall 2013 Transit Connect Ford and the 2013 Nissan NV Cargo are two great vans! Although its styling will not leave you open-mouthed and the interior design looks too simple, the Transit Connect wins this 2013 Ford Transit Connect vs 2013 Nissan NV Cargo contest today for its better manoeuvrability. But if you want a replacement for a conventional minivan or crossover, go for the NV.
The starting price for the Nissan NV Cargo 2013 is at $24,950, and the Ford Transit Connect MSRP ranges from $22,265 to $24,040.
