Nissan Tailors NV200 Taxi for Chicago Fleets
Nissan has gone bold with its newest taxi, the NV200, and has debuted a custom green and white design at the Chicago Auto Show, targeting a market with 7,000 cabs in service.
The NV200 taxi offers USB charging, anti-fatigue driver’s seats, panoramic sky views of the city, reduced odors, improved leg room, more cargo space, passenger safety and other conveniences.
It is also the only taxi on the market to have been crash-tested with the partition installed. Because the partition and equipment are designed to custom-fit the vehicle, passenger safety is improved by rounded edges and fully functioning airbags—features that many taxis do not have.
“We think Chicago is a natural fit for the premium taxi experience NV200 delivers at a competitive price,” said Fred Diaz, Nissan senior vice president, Nissan Sales & Marketing, Parts & Service, U.S.A.
One of the Nissan NV200 taxi’s popular design elements is the transparent roof that gives riders stunning views of Chicago city sights and skyscrapers.
Other features include:
- Ample room for four passengers and their luggage
- Sliding doors with entry step and grab handles
- Opening side windows
- Independently-controlled, rear air conditioning
- Active carbon-lined headliner to help neutralize interior odors
- Overhead reading lights for passengers and floor lighting to help locate belongings
- Mobile charging ports for passengers, including a 12-volt electrical outlet and two USB ports
- Breathable, germ-fighting, durable and easy-to-clean seat fabric, simulating the look and feel of leather
- Flat “no hump” passenger floor area for more comfortable ride
- Roof-mounted curtain supplemental air bags for side-impact and rollover protection for all outboard occupants
