NHTSA // CRASH-TESTED
2020 Nissan Nv3500
Federal crash-test performance, recalls, and complaints, scored into one NHTSA Safety Index.
The Nissan NV3500 is a full-size, body-on-frame passenger van aimed squarely at large families, shuttle operators, and commercial buyers who need to move up to 12 people in a single vehicle. It occupies a niche that few competitors still serve, offering a high-roof configuration and a traditional American van layout. Its target buyer prioritizes cargo volume and passenger capacity over technology or refinement.
The 2020 Nissan Nv3500 earns an NHTSA Safety Index of 50 out of 100, an weak result driven by its federal crash-test stars and its recall record. No vehicle recalls are on file for this model year.

Reviewers generally regard the NV3500 as a no-frills workhorse that delivers on raw passenger and cargo capacity but lags behind more modern alternatives in cabin refinement, interior materials, and driving comfort. Its upright, truck-derived character is seen as functional rather than polished, and most reviewers note that its value proposition depends almost entirely on the buyer needing that specific combination of space and straightforward operation.
