ANALYSISHow safe is the 2019 Nissan Nv3500?
A 2-star rollover rating, accompanied by a 31 percent rollover risk, defines the crash protection profile for the 2019 NV3500 Passenger Van. This figure, notable for a tall, rear-wheel-drive passenger van, is the only completed crash metric published by NHTSA for this model year. The agency did not issue frontal or side impact ratings, leaving a significant gap in the vehicle's crash protection assessment. The 2019 NV3500 Passenger Van earns a 48/100 Safety Index, placing it in the Weak band. Its defect record component contributes a strong 18.25 out of 20 to this score, primarily due to zero recall campaigns. However, crash protection accounts for only 28 out of 70, reflecting the incomplete crash-test data. Avoidance technology adds a mere 2 out of 10, a direct consequence of the absence of forward collision warning and lane departure warning systems in this specific model year.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2019 Nissan Nv3500 perform in crash tests?
The 2019 NV3500's crash protection remains largely unquantified by federal safety regulators. NHTSA did not publish overall, frontal, or side crash ratings for this model year. The single completed assessment, for rollover, yielded a 2 out of 5 star rating, indicating a 31 percent rollover risk. While the dynamic tip test concluded with a "No Tip" result, the absence of more comprehensive crash-test data limits a full safety appraisal of the 2019 NV3500.
