Nissan Urvan engine has not changed thru the years. I guess it's one strategy Nissan is doing to could competitively price it's commercial van particularly against the L300 Versa Van.

But unlike the L300 VV, I have not heard of any negative feedback on its engine's performance. Quite frankly, amongst the non-commonrail/turbo diesel engines in the market, it's the closest to ISUZU's 4JA1 engine in terms of durability and reliability.

PS. And yes, please don't use SMS-type of messages in the forum.

We use 'em as ambulances running hard and on-call 24/7 with somewhat limited maintenance. But they hang on.

Everything feels old/dated on the units but everything is functional. It's like 1986 all over again when I ride the Urvan.

At least it has a good level of standard equipment like foglamps, cornering lamps (the parklight on the side you are signalling towards turns bright to help guide you as you corner), alloy wheels (on most variants), seatbelts for everyone (on most variants), etc.

No power windows and only the tailgate has power locking.

[voltscastillo]

drives like a tractor, somewhat underpowered in my opinion.

L300 has a softer ride. the urvan is a truly commercial van.

longevity, panalo nissan. ride and driving dynamics, L300 for me.

Not much rust issues for the later model Urvans also.

Yep medyo bitin sa power, adequate lang for 120kph.

[SIZE=3]How true is it that URVAN 2.7 15 seaters is better than 18 seaters when it comes to mechanical power? Sabi nila parang hirap na hirap na daw ang makina pag 18 na ang laman despite that the van is really design for 18.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]We are planning to franchise kasi and still thinking kung kukuha pa kami ng urvan with 18seaters, but if that would cause trouble sa engine then baka 15 na lang ang kunin. Insights naman po.[/SIZE]

In my opinion the Urvan is the vehicle of choice of most Shuttle operators. The 15-seater is basically used as an 18 seater (2-4-4-4-4), passengers who are all forward facing. and you wont make money if you will just load 15 passengers if you use this variant. The VX18 has a different seating configuration for the rear seats, and seats 18 passengers, 4 passengers on each side facing each other like in the jeepney. One advantage of the VX18 is that it has an added leaf spring on each side. For long term use of the 15-seat configuration, you will need to add an additional leaf springs or use helper springs.

One complaint though on brand new Urvans, they still come with cassette tape players.

Both models still use the same engine. TD27.

I just visited the Nissan-Universal motor dealer yesterday, saw one of the VX18 Urvans and I saw that they are now fitted with CD/MP3 head units. At last! after more than a decade, they finally run-out of Cassette/Tape head units.

[OTEP]

Pioneer 1050 na ang head units ngayon. Saw it on the newest Urvan ambulance

[likot]

So mas maganda kunin ang 15 seater compared to 18 seater para comfortable lahat ng pasahero since pwede naman kargahan ng 18 yung 15 seater para paharap lahat ng upuan?

[likot]

bump bump!!!

Mas maganda yung urvan estate. It will take you back to the 90's instead of the 80's. Heheh. Underpowered yung 2.7L urvan. The estate's engine is the same as the one found on the patrol, but without the turbo.

[likot]

Nakapagpareserve na kami.

Urvan 2.7L 15 seater, yun lang kaya ng budget eh. Sana ok naman.

Ganda ng deal ko sa agent namin.

Free Solar Guard tint, backing sensor, 50% off sa central locking/Alarm, almost 20k cash disc, 5 years warranty.

[vhenok]

sounds like a good deal...

inquired recently, eto lang offer nila:
- 20k discount
- free tint, mattings, seatcover and EWD
- 3 yrs warranty

[likot]

*vhenok

Nadagdagan pa sir, may free rain gutter pa pala.

Kala ko makakalutsot sabi ko libre na rin GPS, sa Sentra at Xtrail daw yun.

[vhenok]

^ nice deal sir...hahhaa hirit ka pa sa GPS

goodluck on your new ride!

[Wh1stl3r]

Maganda na yun. Sa Nav ko may 20TK++ pa sila hiningi for 5 year warranty.

[likot]

*Wh1stl3r and vhenok

Hehe good deal na nga mga sir. Sa March 1 pa namin ilalabas pero sabi nung agent andon na raw yung unit. Sayang yung GPS di nakalusot Anyway meron nako GPS nag install ako sa Nokia 5800 ko. Turn by turn direction.

OT: Is the response time acceptable on the Nokia 5800?... I heard from some that it is delayed so much.... BTW, I am using a Garmin.....
