NV200^™ STEP INTO THE TAXI OF TOMORROW

600,000 PASSENGERS
A DAY. THE SOLUTION?
NISSAN’S NV200^™ .

New York's iconic yellow cab is getting a decidedly futuristic update. In 2013, the spacious, state-of-the-art Nissan NV200^™ will begin ferrying 600,000 passengers daily around the city that never sleeps. With a low-annoyance horn, opening side windows, and sliding doors with a retractable side step for easy entry, it’s set to change not only the face of the taxi, but of the Big Apple itself.

COMFORT FOR HIRE

Room for Four Happy Passengers
Beyond shuttling happier passengers, the new taxis will make the job of NYC taxi drivers much easier. They’ll be seated in a comfortable, six-way adjustable driver’s seat that moves even when the partition is installed. They’ll have access to modern features, like a built-in Navigation System and intercom system. And the interior—finished with anti-microbial, environmentally friendly materials—will be easy to clean and help reduce airborne odors.

FREEING UP SPACE IN NYC

2L Front-wheel Drive Engine
A NYC taxi travels roughly 70,000 miles a year, using a lot of fuel along the way. To reduce both fuel consumption and pollution, the NV200^™ is equipped with a powerful, efficient 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder engine. The NV200^™ also sits on a shorter wheelbase than a traditional sedan-based taxi, which reduces the overall length of the vehicle. That’s right—the new taxi is actually bigger on the inside and smaller on the outside. This innovative design means that the shorter taxis will, cumulatively, open up about five acres of space on New York City’s notoriously congested streets, reducing gridlock and pollution in the process.

SAFETY IN THE CITY

Secure Transportation
The dual-sliding doors help to eliminate collisions with pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists. When the doors are opened, a warning light comes on to alert other drivers. Each taxi is also equipped with front- and rear-seat curtain airbags, as well as seat-mounted airbags for the front row passengers.
