Nissan Interstar

The Nissan Interstar is a sensible, no-nonsense panel van that puts practicality front and center, with a cavernous load area and a durable feel built for daily work. It drives with surprising composure for its size, keeps running costs modest, and feels like the kind of professional tool that prefers reliable service over flashy showboating.

It may not be a playground for driving purists, but its easy-to-live-with manners, modest running costs and surprisingly roomy cabin make it a smart, sensible pick for urban buyers who value reliability over showmanship.
