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.

For buyers who crave effortless cruising, spirited performance and a tastefully premium experience — with just the right amount of showmanship for the driveway — the EL7 is an enticing, slightly theatrical choice.
